Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Bell of Peace (2019)
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園 Hiroshima Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is a memorial park in the center of Hiroshima, Japan. It is dedicated to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack, and to the memories of the bomb's direct and indirect victims (of whom there may have been as many as 140,000). The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is visited by more than one million people each year. The park is there in memory of the victims of the nuclear attack on August 6, 1945. On August 6, 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was planned and designed by the Japanese Architect Kenzō Tange at Tange Lab.
The location of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was once the city’s busiest downtown commercial and residential district. The park was built on an open field that was created by the explosion. Today there are a number of memorials and monuments, museums, and lecture halls, which draw over a million visitors annually. The annual 6 August Peace Memorial Ceremony, which is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima, is also held in the park. The purpose of the Peace Memorial Park is to not only memorialize the victims, but also to establish the memory of nuclear horrors and advocate world peace.
There are three Peace Bells in the Peace Park. The smaller one is used only for the Peace Memorial Ceremony. Except that day, it is displayed in the east building of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The more well-known Peace Bell stands near the Children's Peace Monument and consists of a large Japanese bell hanging inside a small open-sided structure. Visitors are encouraged to ring the bell for world peace and the loud and melodious tolling of this bell rings out regularly throughout the Peace Park. The Peace Bell was built out in the open on September 20, 1964. The surface of the bell is a map of the world, and the sweet spot is an atomic symbol, designed by Masahiko Katori [1899–1988], cast by Oigo Bell Works, in Takaoka, Toyama. The inscriptions on the bell are in Greek (γνῶθι σεαυτόν), Japanese, and Sanskrit. It is translated as Know yourself. The Greek embassy donated the bell to the Peace Park and picked out the most appropriate ancient Greek philosophical quote of Socrates. The Sanskrit text is a quotation from Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra which was attested by the Indian ambassador. The Japanese text was provided by a university lecturer.
Hiroshima Bombing Story | Tour around the Atomic Hypocenter ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Today is the 74th anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing - August 6, 2019
Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. It’s a day that changed everything. The atomic bomb decimated the city, killing nearly all nearby the blast. Fast forward about 75 years later, and Hiroshima is now a beautiful city, resurrected from the ruins of the post war period. Near the hypocenter is the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park and Museum and across the river, the A-Bomb Dome which sits as it did, destroyed after the bomb in ruins. We'll look at the area around the hypocenter and see old video footage from 1945 after the bomb. We'll also meet a witness who will describe in detail the horror he saw as he volunteered to help in Hiroshima on August 7, 1945, the next day.
We’re now in the 4th generation since the bomb was dropped, those that were kids who could remember are now in their 80s and 90s. Yuji is a 3rd generation Hiroshima resident since the bomb and he wants to share the city of Hiroshima so people don’t forget the past. He learned a lot from his great uncle who told him stories as a kid of the horrors of that day and how the city rebuilt. Another reason is that he wants to teach his son so he can pass on the stories from his family who were alive nearby on that tragic day. They're now tour guides in Hiroshima.
At age 92, Yuji’s great uncle shares his story of the day he will never forget. He lived in Kure city near by, saw the mushroom cloud and went into the city to help. His account is graphic, the scene is grim and real.
The city cannot erase it’s past but it can move on and write the next chapter in its history and I think that is where Hiroshima is today. Tourism to the city is increasing, many international visitors stop by Hiroshima to understand what happened on that day, pay their respects, and tours like the one with Yuji and Magical Trip I took is a way to understand just how much the city changed that day and how it’s re-invented itself since. I hope you can feel something for Hiroshima and if you are in Japan, it's a must visit destination.

Tamba Kokubun-ji Kameoka - Kyoto - 仏教寺院 - 4K Ultra HD
A remnant of a once larger temple from the Jodo sect and first built during the 8th century, Tamba Kokubun-ji is one of many Kameoka City major cultural properties as well as been designated a national historical site. Too often ignore by tourists, foreign or not, Tamba Kokubun-ji is a gorgeous little temple where time stands still.
Inside Kokubunji Temple grows a native ginkgo tree which has earned the name of Chichi Icho (Mother's Breast Ginkgo) and has long inspired the devout worship of women. Because this tree has been known to attach its seeds to its leaves, it is also called the Ohatsuki Icho (Leaf-sticking Ginkgo).

Heiwa Taiko at the Japanese Peace Lantern Ceremony - August 6, 2016
August 6th and 9th are the 71st anniversaries of the world’s first atomic bombings. In Japan and around the world, people will gather in early August to float lanterns in remembrance of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all victims of war, and all who have gone before us. This moving and beautiful tradition provides a chance to reaffirm our commitment to building a better future.
Exploring Peace Park In Nagasaki Japan
The Nagasaki Peace Park is dedicated to the victims and future peace. Excellent sculptures and monuments.

Sadako Sasaki 佐々木 禎子 January 7, 1943 -- October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, near her home by Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako is remembered through the story of a thousand origami cranes before her death, and is to this day a symbol of innocent victims of war.
Visitors to Peace Memorial Park see brightly colored paper cranes everywhere. These paper cranes come originally from the ancient Japanese tradition of origami or paper folding, but today they are known as a symbol of peace. They are folded as a wish for peace in many countries around the world. This connection between paper cranes and peace can be traced back to a young girl named Sadako Sasaki, who died of leukemia ten years after the atomic bombing.
Sadako was two years old when she was exposed to the A-bomb. She had no apparent injuries and grew into a strong and healthy girl. However, nine years later in the fall when she was in the sixth grade of elementary school (1954), she suddenly developed signs of an illness. In February the following year she was diagnosed with leukemia and was admitted to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. Believing that folding paper cranes would help her recover, she kept folding them to the end, but on October 25, 1955, after an eight-month struggle with the disease, she passed away.
Sadako's death triggered a campaign to build a monument to pray for world peace and the peaceful repose of the many children killed by the atomic bomb. The Children's Peace Monument that stands in Peace Park was built with funds donated from all over Japan. Later, this story spread to the world, and now, approximately 10 million cranes are offered each year before the Children's Peace Monument.
Sending paper cranes
Anyone may place paper cranes to the Children's Peace Monument in Peace Memorial Park. However, if you are unable to come to the park, we will be happy to offer your cranes to the monument on your behalf. Please send your cranes to the following address. In addition, we would like to enter your name and message for peace into the Paper Crane Database. In this way, your desire for peace will be recorded for posterity. For this purpose, please fill out this registration form and send it back to us with your paper cranes.

Japan Rail Trip #6: Nagasaki atomic bomb epicenter & peace park 長崎平和記念公園
We arrived at Nagasaki. Nagasaki has a nice modern train station with a dramatic view on exiting the station.
There are trams just outside the station, which gives the Nagasaki train station area a nice and comfortable feel to it.
We took a tram to go to the atomic bomb epicenter and peace park. It was very sad reminder about what had happened, as we had felt in Hiroshima too.
We also meet a survivor from the bomb who had set up his own little shrine. At the time of our visit he was 85 years old and Nige commented on such a youthful & healthy appearance for a man of that age.
We then caught the tram to the 25 martyrs memorial where a group of Christens were executed by crucifixion. There were also plenty of cats wandering around the memorial and looking for a rub or cuddle.
Be aware of the drinking fountain, it's super charged. The memorial also offers a good view of Nagasaki's harbour.
After that we went to around Oura cathedral, Glover garden, holland slope and Chinatown. The view was nice from the hill near there.
We ate Nagasaki Chanpon noodle and Sara udon both which are famous Nagasaki food. Chanpon's a soup noodle, a little similar to ramen but slightly different. Chanpon has thick noodle compared to ramen. There were lots of vegetable and seafood on top.
Sara udon is a crispy noodle with thick sauce added and with vegetable and seafood on top. The crispy noodle became softer when immersed in the thick sauce. This is a must try Nagasaki food.
Even though we had travelled from Hakata, Nagasaki would not be our final destination for the day for we would be spending the evening in Kumamoto.
