US president makes historic visit to Hiroshima
After attending the G7 summit, US President Barack Obama arrived in the Japanese city of Hiroshima and started a historic visit to the Peace Memorial Park. He placed a wreath at the cenotaph for victims of the atomic bombings. Obama is the first sitting US president to visit the site where the US dropped an atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, killing an estimated 140,000 people in the final days of the World War Two. Obama was shown the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, nicknamed the A-Bomb Dome, which is the skeletal remains of the former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall.

Advancer #2 Memorial Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims 6/21/2014
Hiroshima, Japan
21 June 2014
An arched tomb for the victims of Hiroshima who died, either because of the atomic blast or exposure to the radiation, lists the names of all the victims of the nuclear holocaust.
There is no precise number of people that perished in the bombing of Hiroshima. However, it was estimated that approximately 350,000 persons were in city when the bomb exploded. These include civilians, military personnel and people from surrounding towns mobilized for demolition work in Hiroshima. On December 1945, when the acute disorders had subsided, the city estimated 140,000 had died.
Since the unveiling of the monument in 1952, a peace memorial ceremony has been conducted in front of it. Names of the victims who died from the nuclear bomb from the effects of it within the year 1945 are entered into the Register of the A-bomb Victims. During the yearly ceremony, the names are dedicated and the Register returned to the stone coffin in the cenotaph.
In front of the coffin, carved in stone were the words Let it all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.

Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Hiroshima Victims Memorial Cenotaph (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.
Near the center of the park is a concrete, saddle-shaped monument that covers a cenotaph holding the names of all of the people killed by the bomb. The monument is aligned to frame the Peace Flame and the A-Bomb Dome. The Memorial Cenotaph was one of the first memorial monuments built on open field on August 6, 1952. The arch shape represents a shelter for the souls of the victims.
The cenotaph carries the epitaph 安らかに眠って下さい 過ちは 繰返しませぬから, which means please rest in peace, for [we/they] shall not repeat the error. In Japanese, the sentence's subject is omitted, thus it could be interpreted as either [we] shall not repeat the error or as [they] shall not repeat the error. This was intended to memorialize the victims of Hiroshima without politicizing the issue, taking advantage of the fact that polite Japanese speech typically demands lexical ambiguity in the first place. The epitaph was written by Tadayoshi Saika, Professor of English Literature at Hiroshima University. He also provided the English translation, Let all the souls here rest in peace for we shall not repeat the evil. On November 3, 1983, an explanation plaque in English was added in order to convey Professor Saika's intent that we refers to all humanity, not specifically the Japanese or Americans, and that the error is the evil of war:
The inscription on the front panel offers a prayer for the peaceful repose of the victims and a pledge on behalf of all humanity never to repeat the evil of war. It expresses the spirit of Hiroshima — enduring grief, transcending hatred, pursuing harmony and prosperity for all, and yearning for genuine, lasting world peace.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the ambiguity of the phrase has the potential to offend; some right-wing circles in Japan have interpreted the words as an admission of guilt—implicitly reading it as we (the Japanese people) shall not repeat the error—and they criticize the epitaph as a self-accusation by the Japanese empire. In July 2005, the cenotaph was vandalized by a Japanese man affiliated with the Japanese right.
World Prime: Hiroshima marks 74th anniversary of atomic blast
Today is the 74th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic Bombing, that has decimated the city entirely. It was on 6th August, 1945 when United States had attacked and dropped nuclear bomb on Japan's Hiroshima, that had killed nearly 1, 40,000 people. And, three days later Nagasaki was bombed, killing nearly 70,000 people, before Japan surrendered, marking the end of Second World War. Japan was the only country that suffered the nuclear devastation in the War. People of Hiroshima along with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered flower wreath at Cenotaph followed by students ringing peace bell. Survivors, their relatives and other participants marked the blast with a minute of silence. Hiroshima is now a beautiful city, resurrected from the ruins of the post war period, and giving a message to the world to become 'free of nuclear weapons'..
Tour at the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park 6/24/2014
Hiroshima, Japan
24 June 2014
Before ending his one-day working visit in Japan, President Benigno S. Aquino III toured the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park where he offered a flower of wreath at the Memorial Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims and visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
The President together with the members of his Cabinet and delegation were given a personal tour where he was shown never before seen pictures, documents, and artefacts that depicted the unspeakable horror of the August 6, 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Upon leaving the museum, the President wrote on the guestbook:
After seven decades, Hiroshima stands as reminder to all of us the grave consequences when the path of conflict is pursued, and the lives of the many innocent are sacrificed on the altar of vicious ambition. Seven decades later, we still mourn those who have lost their lives, and with it commit ourselves to protect peace and stability not only for ourselves but for the generations to come.
-Noy Aquino
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.
★ Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour can be reserved here:
Note: The tour takes about 4.5 hours. Child tour guide assistant may not always be present during tours.
▶︎WHERE is Hiroshima and the Peace Park?
Thank you to Magical Trip for helping me with this story to connect the past with the present and get a better understanding of where Hiroshima came from and where it is gong in the future.

ATOMIC BOMB DOME and PEACE MEMORIAL MUSEUM HIROSHIMA JAPAN
At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today. The residents of Hiroshima decided to keep this tragic reminder of war intact. The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1996. Visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Memorial Cenotaph and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the suffering caused by war and nuclear weapons and the true value of peace.

Japan Trip (2018) - Chapter 3: Hiroshima (4K 60FPS)
(As usual, you can follow my trip's progress on my blog ➡️
I have finally reached Hiroshima. I've waited a whole year for this! This was the most emotional moment of my whole trip. Years of history were showered at me at every moment, it was really hard to take it all in at once! I'm glad I got to see all of it with my own eyes!
The first area I visit is the Hiroshima Peace Park area. Many structures from the atomic bomb were destroyed, but the Atomic Bomb Dome still remains. It was an incredible sight to see, with rubbles still lying on the ground.
After that, I make my way to the Children's Peace Monument. This statue acts as a symbol for a peaceful future. Next to it is the Flame of Peace. This flame will continue to burn until all nuclear bombs have disappeared from the earth. People pray and drop flowers at the cenotaph for the A-bomb victims every day. The Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims is also close to this structure.
From the park, I decide to take a boat to Miyajima through the world heritage route. You can see many old roads that are still up even after the A-bomb dropped.
When I got to Miyajima, I went straight to the Itsukushima Shrine's torii gate. Usually, during low tide, you can walk to the gate. I was lucky and catched it during the medium-to-low tide. I got to walk close to the gate itself. There was water up to my knees and then it seemed as if it all just disappeared at one point! Words cannot describe the feeling, if you get the chance it is truly an experience to do at least once in a lifetime!
Another great activity to do at Miyajima is climbing Mt. Misen. Let me tell you, the climb up was a lot rougher compared to Mt. Wakakusa! The reward is that you get an incredible view of Miyajima and Hiroshima from the top!
Hiroshima was probably the most emotional place I've visited in Japan. Just watching the video again made me shed a few tears, not going to lie! Let me know what you think!
Enjoy the video!
Final stop: Osaka, the water city!

The heart of Hiroshima ????????❤️ Peace Memorial Park
The heart of Hiroshima is something we can all learn from. The heart of Hiroshima is the understanding the tragedy of our past. Being able to admit our short coming and learning from it. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a shining example of why our world is better when we have peace instead of war. The life lost in World war 2 was a terrible thing, from the innocent lives that were in Japan and all over the world. That’s what makes the Hiroshima peace memorial park, the A-bomb dome, the peace flame and every part of Hiroshima so amazing to visit. They were able to take something like that war and turn it unto something that stand for peace.
The flame has burned continuously
since it was lit in 1964,
and will remain lit until
all nuclear bombs on the
planet are destroyed and the planet
is free from the threat of nuclear annihilation
The cenotaph is inscribed with the phrase: “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.”

Cenotaph for A-bomb Victims (Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace)
The central stone chest holds more than 290,000 names of those who lost their lives to the bomb:
Officially named the 'Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace', it is more commonly known as the Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims. The names of all those who lost their lives are inscribed inside the central stone vault regardless of nationality. Every year, new names are discovered and added to the list. The cenotaph was designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Kenzo Tange.
�Every year, the City of Hiroshima holds the Peace Memorial Ceremony to console the souls of those who were lost due to the atomic bombing, as well as pray for the realization of everlasting world peace. This ceremony, which is attended by many citizens, including those who lost family members in the bombing, is held in front of the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims (Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace). The Peace Declaration, which is delivered by the Mayor of Hiroshima during the ceremony, is sent to every country in the world, thus conveying Hiroshima's wish for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the realization of eternal world peace.
At exactly 8:15 a.m., the time the atomic bomb was dropped, the Peace Bell is rung, sirens sound all over the city and for one minute people at the ceremony grounds, in households and in workplaces pay silent tribute to the victims of the atomic bombing and pray for the realization of everlasting world peace.#Ref91029050
