Atomic Bomb DomeListening to what happened in 1945 and how the city has revitalized. The bomb dome was constructed in 1915 by construct from Czech Republic. So the building is little bit different from Japanese typical construction. Let's listen to the reason from the guide about why this bomb dome was survived from the atomic bomb, what this building is originally for, and the situation when the bomb attacked the city.
-
We visit the ground zero of the atomic bomb and discover more about the hospital and those people who used to work here.
-
Fukuromachi Elementary School Peace MuseumEnter a working elementary school that stood 460 metres from the hypocenter. In the days after August 6th, people searching for their families wrote messages to each other in chalk on its burnt walls. The walls were later plastered over — and in 1999, after 54 years, the messages reappeared. Your guide will show you where they were written and tell you what they say.
-
Former Bank of Japan HiroshimaStep inside a 1936 bank that stood 380 metres from the hypocenter and did not fall. Two days after the bombing it reopened, and lent its own counters to more than ten other banks whose buildings were gone. Customers came with no passbook and no seal, because everything they owned had burned — and were paid out anyway.
-
Hear from your guide the story of Sadako Sasaki, who experienced the atomic bombing at the age of two and inspired the tradition of folding a thousand paper cranes.
-
Rest House of Hiroshima Peace ParkThis building used to be the Taisho ya kimono shop where people sell the Japanese traditional clothes. There was only one person who have survived the explosion inside the building even though the place is within 200m from ground zero.
-
Visiting Peace Memorial Park where all the Japanese come to pray for the peace. The Peace memorial museum was constructed after the World war II in 1954 by the very famous Japanese architect Kenzo Tange. The park has many monument and statues that are related to the bomb event. Each of these has really deep stories, and the guide will explain especially about the places which you would want to know. G7 summit was held in Hiroshima on May in 2023, and presidents from each countries visited this place and pray for the peace. Let's visit this important place and take a look at those precious monuments.
-
Hiroshima Peace City Monument Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb VictimsVisit a deeply significant place where the registry of those who lost their lives in the atomic bombing is enshrined.
-
Chinese Parasol Tree That was Exposed to Hiroshima BombingStand under a tree that survived the atomic bomb 1.3 kilometres from the hypocenter. The heat stripped every leaf and branch, and burned away half its trunk — everyone assumed it was dead. The following spring, it put out buds. It still produces seeds every year, and saplings grown from them have been sent to schools across Japan and overseas. Your guide ends the tour here.
