Discover Hiroshima’s tragic past as you explore the poignant Peace Memorial Park. As one of Japan’s most infamous cities, Hiroshima balances its dark past with a thriving present to honour the memory of the catastrophic events of August 1945. Now restored into a lively, culturally rich city, it pays homage to its past in the Peace Memorial Park, a large green space of over 120,000 square metres that includes a museum and the poignant A-Bomb Dome. As one of the few buildings left standing in the aftermath, it’s a moving symbol of remembrance.
