Nagasaki, Japan: Atomic Bomb Peace Park Memorial
There are many landmarks in Nagasaki to remind locals and visitors about August 9, 1945 when the A-Bomb was dropped. Nagasaki Peace Park is one of those place and the hypocenter of the blast.
The explosion crushed, burned and killed everything in sight. The hypocenter remains as an international peace park and symbol of aspirations for world harmony.
Atomic Bomb Site - Peace Park - EMOTIONALER Besuch in HIROSHIMA - JAPAN
Auf Japan haben wir uns riesig gefreut und vorallem auf Hiroshima. Diese Stadt (gleich wie Nagasaki) wurde im Jahr 1945 attakiert. Und zwar wurde hier die erste Atombombe an Menschen ausprobiert. Tausende Unschuldige haben ihr Leben verloren. Als Schüler haben wir davon im Geschichtsunterricht gehört, uns dieses grauenhafte Ausmaß jedoch nicht vorstellen können. Mit dem Besuch im Peace Memorial Museum, dem Atomic Bomb Dome und auch dem Hypocenter (wo die Bombe 180 Meter in der höhe in die Luft gegangen ist) konnten wir das ganze uns mehr vorstellen, fassen kann man es jedoch immer noch nicht. Diese Grausamkeit darf nie in Vergessenheit geraten und auf keinen Fall nochmals geschehen! Etwas schwere Kost bei unserem VLOG aber genau diese Momente machen Reisen aus. Nicht nur am Strand liegen und Kokosnüsse schlürfen, sondern etwas über die Länder und deren Geschichte auf den Weg mitnehmen.

Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Atomic Bomb Dome Time Lapse (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.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (広島平和記念碑 Hiroshima Heiwa Kinenhi), originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, and now commonly called the Genbaku Dome, Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome (原爆ドーム Genbaku Dōmu), is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ruin of the hall serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation.

Hiroshima:
As of 2006, the city has an estimated population of 1,154,391, while the total population for the metropolitan area was estimated as 2,043,788 in 2000.The total area of the city is 905.08 km², with a population density of 1275.4 persons per km².The population around 1910 was 143,000. Before World War II, Hiroshima's population had grown to 360,000, and peaked at 419,182 in 1942.Following the atomic bombing in 1945, the population dropped to 137,197.By 1955, the city's population had returned to pre-war levels.
Hiroshima has a professional symphony orchestra, which has performed at Wel City Hiroshima since 1963. There are also many museums in Hiroshima, including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, along with several art museums. The Hiroshima Museum of Art, which has a large collection of French renaissance art, opened in 1978. The Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum opened in 1968, and is located near Shukkei-en gardens. The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened in 1989, is located near Hijiyama Park. Festivals include Hiroshima Flower Festival and Hiroshima International Animation Festival.Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which includes the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, draws many visitors from around the world, especially for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, an annual commemoration held on the date of the atomic bombing. The park also contains a large collection of monuments, including the Children's Peace Monument, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims and many others.
Hiroshima's rebuilt castle (nicknamed Rijō, meaning Koi Castle) houses a museum of life in the Edo period. Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is within the walls of the castle. Other attractions in Hiroshima include Shukkei-en, Fudōin, Mitaki-dera, and Hijiyama Park.
The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in 1945. The two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan. The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on 8 May, but the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945, threatening Japan with prompt and utter destruction. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum, and the United States deployed two nuclear weapons developed by the Manhattan Project. American airmen dropped Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9 August.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000--166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000--80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15--20% died from radiation sickness, 20--30% from burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.On 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, signing the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September, officially ending World War II. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan's adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated.

NAGASAKI TRAVEL GUIDE - RTW Day 10 - 2 Minute Travel
We were going to spend the day in Huis Ten Bosch, but after spending 4 hours there last night, we'd had enough. So in a change of itinerary, we decided to head to a couple of hours south on the local train to Nagasaki, a nice city, that just happened to be the site of the second nuclear bomb attack.
Local trains are slow, but are really nice to get the vibe of a place. We caught the train on the Sunday, yet it was filled with teenagers in their school uniforms. You know it’s hard core when they're off to school on a Sunday. There was a group of old women next to us, gossiping about all the sights. There was an old lady behind us looking like she was talking into a Bluetooth headset, except she didn't have one. That was weird.
Finally, we made it to Nagasaki. The main reason we came here was to check out the sights related to the Nuclear attack, such as the Nagasaki Peace Park, the Hypocenter, and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. But on reflection, it’s a bit unfair to tar the city with just that one incident. It was basically the only port open to foreigners back when Japan was sealed off from the world, so it has a big western influence in the architecture. It’s surrounded by beautiful hills on three sides, and makes for a really nice city to explore. I guess what I'm trying to say is after being to Nagasaki, this place isn't defined by the fact it had a Nuclear bomb dropped on it.
The Nagasaki Peace Park was dedicated to the people who were killed or injured from the nuclear blast. 70% of the people were women, children, and elderly, and the way those people died was horrific. The statue has one finger pointing towards the sky and the atom bomb, and the other hand is searching for peace. It’s a very sombre and poignant place. While Kathryn and I were quiet and respectful, we did encounter a gaggle of Chinese tourists who were loud and jovial. Kathryn thought harshly towards them, but I suggested that they might have had a different context to the bomb, that this was something that ended the war against the Japanese for them, something they suffered greatly from.
We then went past the Hypocenter, which was the exact spot the bomb was dropped. Nagasaki wasn't the original target, it was Kokura. It just so happened that when the plane was over Kokura it was cloudy, so they decided to aim at the secondary target, Nagasaki.
We then walked to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. This was a pretty sombre and sad museum that showed horrors that happened. There was one fragment which was a skeleton of a hand fused into a glass bottle. Just awful stuff. The images of people basically on fire were terrible. And the stories of the survivors drinking the oily water because they were so thirty were just heart wrenching:
Desperately thirsty, I went to draw water but found an oil-like substance floating all over it. People told me that the oil had rained down from the sky… But I wanted a drink so badly that I gulped the water down just as it was.
We then headed to the station to do some exploring. Nagasaki and the area around it appear famous for their Mandarins, or Mikan, so I bought bags full of them for cheap!
We then caught the Kamome, or Seagull, train from Nagasaki to Hakata Station, in Fukuoka. While on the train, the guy next to us was reading softcore pornography, then decided he’d had enough of that, and switched to his laptop so he could view some hardcore pornography.

[The Incredible Japanese Prison Break]
Aomori, Japan. 1936. Prisoner Yoshie Shiratori had had enough.
He was forced to confess to a murder he did not commit, falsely imprisoned in Aomori Prison, beaten and tortured every night by prison guards, and, now worse, prosecutors were seeking the death penalty. In his mind, it was time to go; but Aomori Prison wasn’t the easiest to escape.
Regardless, Yoshie Shiratori had nothing to lose, and so at 5:30 am he made his move. He knew there would be a 15 minute gap in the patrol time as he had studied the guards’ routine for months; and when the coast was clear, he pulled out a metal wire (which he had smuggled in from the bathhouse) and started to pick the lock. (This was originally the metal support ring that was wrapped around the bathing buckets inmates used to wash themselves).
His hands were stiff from the wintry cold, but after a few minutes of picking, he had success, and his cell door swung open. But he wasn’t out of the woods yet, because there were more locked doors ahead. He knew he only had a few minutes left before the guards would return, and so he wasted no time attempting to pick his way through the remaining security doors.
Now fortunately for him, he was able to make it out of the facility, but the bad news was that he was only halfway to freedom. You see, he was still well within the search perimeter, which meant at any moment the alarm could go off and he’d still be caught.
At 5:45am the guards returned, peering into his cell; and this is what they saw - Shiratori sound asleep in his futon bed. ...

Technical specifications about Japan:
Japan (Japanese: 日本 Nippon [ɲippoɴ] or Nihon [ɲihoɴ]; formally 日本国 About this sound Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, meaning State of Japan) is a sovereign island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest.
The kanji, or Sino-Japanese characters, that make up Japan's name mean sun origin, and it is often called the Land of the Rising Sun. Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago consisting of about 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area and often are referred to as home islands. The country is divided into 47 prefectures in eight regions, with Hokkaido being the northernmost prefecture and Okinawa being the southernmost one. The population of 127 million is the world's tenth largest. Japanese people make up 98.5% of Japan's total population. About 9.1 million people live in Tokyo,[15] the capital of Japan.
Archaeological research indicates that Japan was inhabited as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other regions, mainly China, followed by periods of isolation, particularly from Western Europe, has characterized Japan's history.
From the 12th century until 1868, Japan was ruled by successive feudal military shōguns who ruled in the name of the Emperor. Japan entered into a long period of isolation in the early 17th century, which was ended in 1853 when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to the West. After nearly two decades of internal conflict and insurrection, the Imperial Court regained its political power in 1868 through the help of several clans from Chōshū and Satsuma—and the Empire of Japan was established. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victories in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Japanese surrender. Since adopting its revised constitution on May 3, 1947, during the occupation by the SCAP, Japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with an Emperor and an elected legislature called the National Diet.
Japan is a member of the UN, the OECD, the G7, the G8 and the G20—and is considered a great power. The country has the world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP and the world's fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity. It is also the world's fourth-largest exporter and fourth-largest importer.
The Japanese word for Japan is 日本, which is pronounced Nihon or Nippon and literally means the origin of the sun. The character nichi (日) means sun or day; hon (本) means base or origin.

Trip to Hiroshima vlog || Atomic Bomb Dome || Okinomiyaki
Hello Everyone!
Come with me as I drive to Hiroshima in order to visit the notorious atomic bomb dome and peace memorial museum in honor of those who died in the attack on Hiroshima during WWII. I also visited Itsukushima shrine and ate delicious Hiroshima style Okinomiyaki :)
