Visiting HIROSHIMA Today: IS IT SAFE from RADIATION?!
Hiroshima today is a city transformed, but it's known for harrowing history. The Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum are very important for everybody to experience… but I didn’t expect to find so much fun on my city tour.
From tasty Okonomiyaki to craft breweries and rooftop bars. Hiroshima in 2019 is a really vibrant, modern place. But it also owns it’s history, presented best by the story of Sadako Sasaki.
This is my Hiroshima travel video, that I hope captures my thoughts and feelings of the place.
PLACES AND SIGHTS FEATURES IN THIS FILM:
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum - 0:40
Somewhere that everyone should visit in their lifetime. A poignant reflection on the bomb blast through interactive exits and artefacts.
Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome) - 1:00
The former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall is one of the few ruins left standing from the blast. It is now a centrepiece of the peace park and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site
Peace Memorial Park - 1:19
A beautiful place to visit, dedicated to the victims of the bomb. Very peaceful with several museums, memorials and art installations.
Hiroshima Trams - 1:37
The vintage trams have been a feature of the city since long before the bombing. They are still the best way to get around the city.
Orizuru Tower Hiroshima - 1:43
The best rooftop bar and viewpoint I visited in Japan, located right next to the Atomic Bomb Dome. A beautiful and modern design with several floors and interactive exhibits. It’s a great place to come with kids to learn about the history and a great spot to drink and unwind. You can also get down the building through a series of slides - lots of fun! There is a ¥1000 JPY entrance fee for tourists.
Okonomoyaki - 1:47
A savoury Japanese pancake and a native speciality dish of Hiroshima. Nagataya is a great restaurant to try it for the first time, but get there early - there’s always a queue!
Miyajima Ferry - 2:07
¥180 JPY for a one way trip, there is also a dedicated JR Line Ferry for anybody with a rail pass.
Itsukushima Shrine - 2:15
One of the most famous Torii gates/shrines in Japan. Partially submerged by water at high tide. You can view it from the land or take a boat through it.
Miyajima Brewery - 2:33
A great little stop for craft beer lovers on the Main Street on Miyajima island.
Hiroshima Carps - 2:35
The loudest and proudest baseball fans in the country! They play at the Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium. You can buy tickets at the stadium box office or from 711, Family Mart and Lawson.
Hiroshima Arcades - 2:48
There are a couple of Taito Stations in the city, which are good fun as always!
Paper Crane Memorial - 4:12
At the Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, you can make your own paper cranes to drop into the memorial on the 10th floor.

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.

JAPAN VLOG 7
Hello guys!
I hope you are all doing good :)
On this day in Japan I stayed over night in the city of Hiroshima. I was able to visit the site known as the Atomic bomb dome. I really love learning the history of places I visit. I was able to visit the peace memorial park, although the museum was closed I had an interesting day exploring. I would definitely recommend hiring a bike! Watch my below video on Japan capsule hotels. This has details of where I stayed in Hiroshima.

How far is the 'A-bomb dome' from ground zero in Hiroshima?
The 'A-bomb dome' is one of the only buildings to have survived the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of the Second World War. It is only a few dozen metres from the exact spot where the bomb detonated, about half-way down the street in the video. The spot is marked by a small plaque.
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome Tour - 原爆ドーム - 4K Ultra HD
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome - 原爆ドーム : Japan is the only country in the world that had to suffer the horror of one of the most destructive forces ever created by mankind : an atomic bomb.
Preserved as a witness of such horror, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, also known as the Atomic Bomb Dome or Genbaku Dome, was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945.
It is honestly difficult to describe the chilling effect that such a sight gives you in real life and once in front of this structure, one can only hope that we will soon evolve into more compassionate and peaceful beings, strong enough to put an end to worldwide suffering.

Before/After the Hiroshima atomic bombings
During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the first on August 6, 1945 and the second on August 9, 1945. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.
For six months before the atomic bombings, the United States intensely fire-bombed 67 Japanese cities. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum. By executive order of President Harry S. Truman, the U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of Fat Man over Nagasaki on August 9.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000--166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000--80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefectural health department estimates that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15--20% died from radiation sickness, 20--30% from flash burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians.

Hiroshima - Atomic Bomb Dome - Peace Memorial Museum
On August 6, 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in human history.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is museum located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, in central Hiroshima, Japan dedicated to documenting the atomic bombing that occurred with the additional aim of world peace. The museum was established in August 1955 with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall (now the International Conference Center Hiroshima). It is the most popular of Hiroshima's destinations for school field-trips from all over Japan and for international visitors. 53 million people had visited the museum from its opening in 1955 through 2005. The number of visitors is over one million per year. The architect of the main building was Kenzo Tange. Source: wiwipdia
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.

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

Took my family to Hiroshima for a visit, and it was amazing. Some history: Hiroshima, a modern city on Japan’s Honshu Island, was largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during World War II. Today, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorates the 1945 event. In the park are the ruins of Genbaku Dome, one of the few buildings that was left standing near ground zero. Other prominent sites include Shukkei-en, a formal Japanese garden, and Hiroshima Castle, a fortress surrounded by a moat and a park.
The centuries-old Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushima Jinja) on Miyajima is the source of both the island's fame and its name. Formally named Itsukushima, the island is more popularly known as Miyajima, literally shrine island in Japanese, thanks to its star attraction. The shrine is known worldwide for its iconic floating torii gate.
The shrine and its torii gate are unique for being built over water, seemingly floating in the sea during high tide. The shrine complex consists of multiple buildings, including a prayer hall, a main hall and a noh theater stage, which are connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea.

Hiroshima War sites
Today I walked around Hiroshima. I saw all the sites and memorials from the bombing of Hiroshima on October 6th 1945. I found it hard not to get emotional at the sad past of Hiroshima; there are so many sad stories, so many ruined lives and so much suffering that I can't do it justice in writing. Watch the video, and I hope that it conveys the story well enough. I have tried not to include too many things, but just the ones that really touched me.
Hiroshima, Japan (Hypocentre)
Step on the land where A-bomb was dropped. This video is an account of my visit to Hiroshima on 23 June 2018. Please LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to this channel. Thanks You!
On 6 August 1945, America dropped atomic bomb in the city of Hiroshima. See in this video the very spot where the bomb probably dropped. The level of destruction can be imagined by visiting the Museum situated very close to the site.
