    Hiroshima Pref. Hiroshimashinakaku Otemachi 1-10
    An atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Just about 160 meters northwest of the bomb’s hypocenter was the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, which was built in 1915. The building was destroyed by the explosion’s blast and heat rays, and while the ceiling was burned, miraculously the center portion of the main building escaped destruction, and the round steel frame of the dome on the top that remained came to be called the “A-Bomb Dome.” It is a building to tell future generations about the tragedy of war and destruction, and is registered as a world heritage site as a symbol to appeal to the world for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the importance of enduring peace.

    Hiroshima Pref. Hiroshimashinakaku Nakajimachou 1-1
    This building was constructed in 1929 by Osaka’s Taishoya Gofukuten (a kimono shop), and features a ferro-concrete construction, which was unusual at that time. Sales areas with show windows occupied the space from the first floor up to the third floor, customers were allowed to enter with their shoes on, and the rooftop offered a view of the city. The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in August of 1945, and as this building was only 170 meters from the bomb’s hypocenter, the roof was flattened, the interior was also destroyed and the entire structured burned down except for the basement. Somehow a prototype of the building was restored after the war and from 1982 it has been used as a rest house for the Peace Memorial Park.

    Located right in the Peace Park there are washrooms as well as a tourist Info site. Upstairs there are also a couple of displays upstairs that was worthwhile visiting for free.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
