Children's Peace Monument in the Peace Park Hiroshima Japan
Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima Japan
Today I visit the Children's Peace Monument in the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima Japan. This is a monument dedicated to Sadako Sasaki, a girl that lost her life to the after effects of the atomic bomb attack. She folded over 1000 paper cranes in hopes to have her wish of better health come true but unfortunately she loss her life. Her classmates dedicated this monument in her memory.

*The fallout pictured at the beginning of the video is of Nagasaki, not Hiroshima. I felt this appropriate, as Nagasaki was bombed three days later by the same methods.
**It's also worth noting that while the video images are of victims from the A-bomb, the children/people on screen are not the owners of the items at the museum, or the same people being talked about in the voice-over.

Atomic Bomb Sites in Hiroshima 広島 | Japan Travel Vlog
Hello!
We went to Hiroshima last year in November to explore this place that is rich in history.
We boarded the Shinkansen from Osaka which took around 2 hours to Hiroshima. Upon reaching, we took their public bus - the ride was quite fast, less than 30 mins to the Atomic Bomb Dome and Hiroshima peace memorial park & museum.

Anyone still looking for ways to keep on top of important information coming out of Japan about the March 11 earthquake and tsunami now has a central hub to consult, in the shape of a dedicated page from the Google Crisis Response project.
The resources listed include the Person Finder we've seen before, links to the latest information from the domestic utilities, such as Tokyo Electric (TEPCO), government agencies, and a comprehensive list of transit providers.
Many of those are pre-formatted to serve up Japanese pages in machine-translated English, but there's also a full ranzge of information for native speakers of Japanese.
Likely the most useful among these are the missing persons phone lines for the various parts of Tohoku affected by the twin disasters, while there are also continuously updating scanned photos of the resident lists in the various shelters for people displaced from their homes.
Lastly, this being a service from one of the web's heaviest hitters, there are also real time updates from Google News and Twitter.

Amid the horrific stories of death and destruction surrounding the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region, there's still room for the occasional wry smile, such as the one surely engendered by the news of 240 refugees taking shelter in, of all places, a nuclear power plant.
The group of men, women and children from Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture has been holed up in the plant since the tsunami hit, seemingly killing over 1,000 of the town's 10,000 population.
The irony of the nature of their refuge clearly isn't lost on the temporary residents, as the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi power plant 120 kilometers away plays out daily on their televisions.
The electricity to power the sets, incidentally, comes direct from the regional power grid to which the Onagawa plant is attached. The facility is run by Tohoku Electric Power, a separate entity from Tokyo Electric Power, or TEPCO, the operator in charge of Fukushima.
As the group shelters in the employee gym, right next door to the reactors, the good fortune of the survivors is clear.
One man, sheltering with his family said: It's pretty spread out. People are just kind of lying around and relaxing. There are a lot of aftershocks, but it's safe.
Meanwhile, an older woman settled on a more prosaic object of gratitude: It's very clean inside. We have electricity and nice toilets.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Genbaku Atomic Bomb UNESCO Dome, Museum, Hiroshima, Japan
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Atomic Dome (Hiroshima's Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome), and Peace Museum, Hiroshima, Japan. A tribute to peace at the commemoration of the 67th Anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb.
The famous Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima (Hiroshima Peace Memorial), Japan (Gembaku Domu in Japanese). This famous building is located next to the Aioi River and near the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima city. It was formerly the Industrial Promotion Hall. (It is located across the park from the Peace Museum.) At night, the Atomic Bomb Dome building is illuminated in a green light. It is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The building serves as a solemn memorial to the people who were tragically killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly due to the bombing, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. US president Harry Truman, made the difficult decision to authorise the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II. The Allied forces agreed to put an end to the Pacific War which was not ending - but rather costing many lives - civilian and military. At 8:15 am on 6 August 1945, Little Boy (the first atomic bomb to be used in any war) detonated almost directly above the dome (approximately 600 m above the dome). The Japanese city of Nagasaki was bombed three days later.
Apparently when the atomic bomb exploded, many people threw themselves into the nearby river to ease the pain - many did not survive.

Hiroshima will soon commemorate the 67th anniversary of the tragic Atomic devastation.

Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Children's Peace Monument (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.

Earlier in the week some of us had jogged past the Hiroshima Peace Museum. There were some interesting sights to see so we grabbed a couple more people and walked back to it.
As usual, when young children see us they can tell right away we are not from here and get overly excited. The kids out here are great.

Hiroshima atomic bomb: Survivor recalls horrors - BBC News
Thursday marks 70 years to the day since the United States dropped the world's first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later it dropped a second on the city of Nagasaki. The devastation is widely believed to have brought an abrupt end to World War Two - with Japan's surrender. But what about the appalling human cost of the bombing? Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from Hiroshima.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Letters from Japan
This video is about our latest visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The memorial Peace Park is made up of several points of interest. Most notable are the Genbaku Domu (Atomic Bomb Dome) and the Peace Memorial Museum.
For more information on hours and possible closures due to renovation projects, please visit the museum web site:

I WAS LEFT SPEECHLESS IN HIROSHIMA! 16+
*0:01 BURNS, NOT BURNES.
This day finally came! I never thought I would visit this town in my life. I've heard stories about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but I couldn't imagine what happened there, how many people lost their lives, how much did they suffer. Today, there live more than a million people and they are amazing. They are so friendly, nice, always smiling even though they have been through a lot in the past. I fell in love with every inch of that city. I've seen the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (or Atomic Bomb Dome, the A-Bomb dome) which is the symbol of destruction but also strength and peace. I've learned about a girl named Sadako Sasaki who died because of leukemia (Full story in this video). Later I went to the Hiroshima Museum where I literally couldn't speak after I've seen those pictures and footages. In the end, I went to the Orizuru Tower where I've folded my paper crane and toss it down because it symbolizes peace.

This is typically how we get greeted by small children here in Japan.
They can tell we are not from here and are very friendly and excited to speak with us.
