The Hall of Remembrance - Hiroshima, Japan
From one of the flyers available:
The Hall of Remembrance inspires thoughts of the victims, prayers for the peaceful repose of their souls, and contemplation of peace. The interior wall is a 360 degree panorama of the A-bombed city seen from the Shima Hospital, the hypocenter. The panorama is a mosaic of 140,000 tiles, the number of victims estimated to have died by the end of 1945. Appearing below the picture are the names of neighborhoods as they were known at the time of the bombing. The lower the name, the closer that neighborhood was the the hypocenter.

Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Fountain of Prayer (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 moment of prayer for PEACE - 8.6 Hiroshima & 8.9 Nagasaki Memorial
During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the first on August 6, 1945 and the second on August 9, 1945. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.
Our catastrophic earthquake measuring 9.0 in magnitude strikes 130 km (80 miles) east of Sendai, Japan, triggering a tsunami killing thousands of people. This event also triggered the second largest nuclear accident in history, and one of only two events to be classified as a Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale.
It has left us a long term mission dealing with the impact of the radiation for the next 50 years. We can only count on the technologies and taking actions to minimize the impact of the radiation on the human body, animals, plants and the planet earth, and we hope you join us in taking the moment for prayer for peace everyday, and do something about global issues such as radiation movements.
All of us together believing in faith, we can make miracles in each and every one of our lives, regardless of how cruel life may appear from time to time. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORDS FOR PEACE. Thank you very much. Best regards, Kumiko Yajima
P.S. I visited Nagasaki and Hiroshima right after 3/11 during the evacuation phase to understand the horror and pain of the previous tragedies, and I recorded all materials by visiting the atomic bomb memorial halls. Thank you very much.
Hiroshima memorial peace park (one of the peace bells) video Arif Herekar
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.[20] 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 was translated by the Indian ambassador, and the Japanese by a university lecturer.

*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.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, April 7-9, 2012
The Peace Park is definitely a site to see when you visit Japan. It is an extremely moving and sobering experience. What impressed me about the place was the fact that the Japanese describe the event in very simple factual terms. And there is no need for otherwise because the place and the event speak for themselves; that nuclear war is complete madness. One B-29 bomber with one bomb killed more than 100,000 people.
The park is quite large, and I went for many walks there over the weekend April 7-9, 2012. Lucky for me the cherry trees bloomed (Sakura), and also many people were in the park having lunch. The 'A-bomb dome' ruin situated at one end of the park is a powerful monument to the destructive power of nuclear weapons.
The museum is also worth a visit (almost free entrance), and again the Japanese show many details and descriptions of the event with very little sentiment. It was truly a moving and chilling experience for me (though I have no warm feelings for the militaristic Japan that finally ended in '45).
Go there and see for yourselves. Or watch my video... It is with stills and HD video.
Children's peace monument in Hiroshima Japan
Children's peace monument in Hiroshima Japan:
The Children's Peace Monument is also called the Tower of a Thousand Cranes, for many thousands of folded paper cranes are offered there all through the year. The origin of the monument can be traced back more than four decades.
Sadako Sasaki was exposed to the bombing at age two, contracted leukemia ten years later and died. Shocked by her death, her classmates put out a national call to build a monument to mourn all the children who died from the atomic bombing. With the support of students in more than 3,100 schools around Japan and in nine other countries, including England, the Society was able to build this bronze statue that stands nine meters high.
On the top of the three-legged pedestal stands the bronze figure of a girl holding up a gold-colored folded crane. On opposite sides of the pedestal are suspended boy and girl figures symbolizing a bright future and hope. On the stone underneath the pedestal is inscribed, This is our cry. This is our prayer. For building peace in this world.
The monument was created by Kazuo Kikuchi, then a professor of Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music. A gold crane modeled after an ancient bronze bell initially hung under a bell inside the tower. This piece was contributed by Dr. Hideki Yukawa, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, who was much moved by the feelings of the children. It was made as a wind chime.#Ref91029050
Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) (UNESCO/NHK)
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind; it also expresses the hope for world peace ...
