Hiroshima Peace Park & Peace Museum - Japan Vlog

Visiting Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum - a day trip from Kyoto on the bullet train to Hiroshima and Miyajima.

Japan vlog about visiting Hiroshima. We saw the A-Bomb Dome, which is where the world's first atomic bomb was dropped, and the Peace Park and Peace Museum. See what it's like on the shinkansen bullet train between Kyoto and Miyajima.

The Peace Museum isn't an easy place to look round, but I'm glad we went. I didn't film too much inside the museum because it didn't seem appropriate, and it feels strange being there as a tourist destination. The Peace Park is lovely, with the paper cranes, sculptures and memorials. After visiting Hiroshima we went on to Miyajima, which was one of the most beautiful places we visited. It's a good day trip from Kyoto with your Japan Rail Pass - you can see more in my next video!

Full details of how to get there are in my blog post:

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Japan ????????

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park (平和記念公園, Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is one of the most prominent features of the city. Even visitors not looking for it will likely stumble upon the large park of over 120,000 square meters. Its trees, lawns, and walking paths are in stark contrast to the surrounding downtown area.

Before the bomb, the area of what is now the Peace Park was the political and commercial heart of the city. For this reason, it was chosen as the pilot's target. Four years to the day after the bomb was dropped, it was decided that the area would not be redeveloped but instead devoted to peace memorial facilities. ????????

Atomic bomb dome 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 Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims 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.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome, Japan (Hiroshima Peace Memorial) 原爆ドーム

The famous Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima (Hiroshima Peace Memorial), Japan (Gembaku Domu in Japanese). This famous building is located next to the Aioi River in Hiroshima city. It was formerly the Industrial Promotion Hall. It is located near the Peace Museum. At night, the Atomic Bomb Dome building is illuminated in a green light.

Hiroshima's Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The building serves as a solemn memorial to the people who were tragically killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly due to the bombing, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. US president Harry Truman, made the difficult decision to authorise the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II. The Allied forces agreed to put an end to the Pacific War which was not ending - but rather costing many lives - civilian and military. At 8:15 am on 6 August 1945, Little Boy (the first atomic bomb to be used in any war) detonated almost directly above the dome (approximately 600 m above the dome). The Japanese city of Nagasaki was bombed three days later.

Apparently when the atomic bomb exploded, many people threw themselves into the nearby river to ease the pain - many did not survive.

原爆ドーム

Hiroshima will soon commemorate the 70th anniversary of the tragic Atomic devastation.

00:00- INTRO

00:23- The Memorial Tower completed in 1967 and dedicated to the mobilized or deployed Students used for the labor shortage in Japan. In 1944 the Japanese government enacted the Student Labor Service Act requiring all middle school and high school students to participate in the labor service such as at the factories. By the end of that year, students were participating in the buildings demolition program and during the war, approximately 10,000 students died from which over 6,000 died from the A-bomb. After the Second World War, the survived families of these students donated funds to build the Memorial Tower.

02:24- School girls interview.

09:11- The Motoyasu Bridge spans over the Motoyasu River. The original bridge was built over 400 years ago and then rebuilt in 1926. Surprisingly, this bridge and the girders, that is the steel beams, survived the atomic blast from the Little Boy in 1945. The railings however, were blasted into the river. This bridge was used for the next 40 years afterwards. It was then rebuilt in 1989 and completed in 1992.

09:43- In the distance, you can see the A-Bomb Memorial or the Genbaku Dome.

10:08- The Children’s Peace Monument. Many Japanese including kids were exposed to the radiation from the A-Blast. In this tragic story, Sasaki Sadako who was just two years old was one of them. Due to the exposure and the side effects, Sadako was diagnosed with leukemia 10 years after the blast. During her long 8 months battle with leukemia, based on the traditional belief, Sadako folded 1,000 origami cranes in hopes of recovering. She ended up folding over 1,300 origami cranes frequently from the paper wrappings of her medicine. After her 8 months long battle she passed away shocking her elementary school classmates. As a result, many different schools around Japan raised money and built the Children’s Peace Monument completing it on the Children’s Day on May 5th of 1958 in the memory of all the kids who died from the Atomic Bomb. Today, the visiting school kids often bring origami cranes to this monument.

11:42- The A-Bomb Memorial Burial Mound build in the memory of the unknown people who died from the blast. Vault laying underneath the Mound holds ashes of 70,000 unclaimed victims whose entire families either perished or are unknown. Every year, the city of Hiroshima publishes a list of newly identified unclaimed victims in hopes that a family member would recognize the name and claim the ashes.

12:13- The Atomic Bomb tower dedicated to folding cranes.

12:49- The Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Cenotaph was erected in 1970 by the local Koreans of Hiroshima at the western end of the Honkawa Bridge. The Korean victims known as the hibakusha account for ~10% of all of the A-Bomb victims and this monument was dedicated to those victims and survivors. You can see that the monument stands on the turtle’s back and is engraved with the – “souls of the dead ride to heaven on the backs of turtles. At the top, there are two dragons. Later a controversy sparked to move this monument inside the Peace Memorial Park when eventually in 1999 it was finally moved.

14:37- The Heiwano Kannon statue or the Kannon statue of peace, it was constructed in the year of 1956 for the lost town and its victims.

17:03- The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. More about it later.

17:38- The Hiroshima Victims Memorial Cenotaph standing in the Hiroshima Pond of Peace was designed in 1952. The roof that resembles an ancient Japanese clay house to shelter all the victims’ souls from the rain. On the memorial it says “let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.” A stone chamber inside the monument with the names registry of all of the victims that died.

19:04- The Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall. Through this opening, you can see the ruins, roof tiles, and other objects from the A-bomb. The monument in the distance is the clock with the time frozen at exactly 8:15 am depicting the time the Atomic bomb went off on August 6th of 1945.

20:32- The admission to the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall is free. You cannot film inside. Nevertheless, inside you will find the victims’ information area and the Hall of Remembrance which is a 360 degrees panoramic view of the obliterated city of Hiroshima depicted using 140,000 tiles representing an estimated # of the Japanese that died by the end of 1945.

21:27- The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park’s main facility is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum which is made up of the 2 connected buildings. Inside you will find a detailed history of the Hiroshima A-bomb events and the personal stories on the day of the blast. You will also see preserved clothing and personal items from the day of the Atomic bomb explosion. Some things that you will find inside are in fact graphic.

Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Full Tour (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.

For our final field trip, the study abroad class visited Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum. The scope of the trip is far too large to see in these condensed videos, but some points include the eternal flame that burns until all nuclear weapons are gone form the earth, copies of the protest letters that are sent each time a nuclear test is conducted, models and photos of the aftermath, and images and examples of the human tragedy that continues to impact survivors to this day.
