seing the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Atomic Bomb Dome) many times on TV, but it was a dream come true for me to be there in person.... On the ground where this historical event made history.... i have seen it in pictures, and movies. But I was touched when I am in front of it.... Being there, trying to visualize what the people who lived there 80 years ago on that day August 6, 1945 at 8:15am where their city was bombed... But 80 years later this monument stands in the middle of a beautiful revised city and I am glad I got to see it at least once in my life... I am deeply sorry for all the people who lose their lives that day. May their soul continues to rest in peace 🙏 🪦 😌
I saw the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Atomic Bomb Dome) many times on TV, in pictures, and in other media. But I still feel very sad when I am in front of it. The Atomic Bomb Dome showed me how insignificant human beings are! Why are we fighting with each other? How could anyone possibly start a war again? The Atomic Bomb Dome is kept up very well. It shows what’s happening when the atomic bomb destroys everything. It reminds us that we should not let it happen again!
A very good place to visit. It is very well maintained and preserved with fantastic surroundings. One does get emotional looking at the tomb, thinking of the time (August 1945) when the humanity discovered the destructive potential of its own powers.
