- What to expect
-
The Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima is a haunting yet powerful symbol of peace and resilience. Once the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, it was among the few buildings left standing after the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. Its skeletal frame, with charred walls and an exposed dome, remains preserved as it was after the blast. Set in Peace Memorial Park, it contrasts starkly with the rebuilt city around it. The site includes monuments and museums honoring victims and advocating for a nuclear-free world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it inspires reflection on war and hope for peace.
