Hiroshima Travel Blogs

I should actually be on my way north but I decided to go to the park this morning instead. I want to go and hear the clock sound its bell this morning. It is 8.10 it is raining. A few people are walking by or cycling by on their way to work or school. I search for a place to get out of the rain…

Seeing as Osaka's trains run on a Manhattan schedule (as opposed to a Tokyo schedule), I got a much later start in Hiroshima than I had intended.  Much later.  (It also had something to do with the post office not being where it was marked on my map, and literally wandering around for nea…

On our second day in Hiroshima, we started with breakfast in our hotel again.  By now, I was wholly addicted to that miso vinaigrette salad dressing, and had my mom and sister addicted too.After breakfast, we hopped a cab to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Peace Park.  It was only…

It's beautiful in a haunting way. The trees next to the A-bomb dome (the building which survived the nuclear bomb) were bare, adding to the somber mood for this place where 140,000 people (not all Japanese!) have died on August 6 and until the end of 1945. I have not felt particularly sorry for the…

I have visited Hiroshima numerous amounts of times in my time being stationed here in Japan.  These are all of the pictures I have taken in Hiro.  I'll keep adding pictures later when I go there again.

This morning we left Hiroshima to go to Kumamoto. Along the way we made a stop in Beppu where we had some free time to explore the city or enjoy one of the many hot springs this city is famous for.

Jumping back on the Skinkansen heading to Kyoto from Fukuoka you have to pass through Hiroshima so it made sense to stop off and visit the Peace Museum and Atom Bomb Dome. We got to the station around 9 and knew we only had a few hours, so decided to focus on the Museum etc., and pass over the city…

Andrea and I got on a Bullet Train and took a one hour ride to Hiroshima to see the Atomic Bomb Memorial area. We were told we would need two hours in the area and we found that we wish we had had more time. I have no idea how to describe what I saw but I can try.   The first thing that you…

*rough draft - unedited* The trip from Himeji to Hiroshima was short and uneventful.  I soaked in the passing Japanese landscape as it rushed passed me at 250 mph as I enjoyed my window seat, and Zach enjoyed a Nintendo DS game as he lacked a window seat (which really is very Japanese in and …

Hiroshima will always be associated with the tragic event of 6th August 1945. At the centre of the city lies Aioi bridge, which due to its distinctive T-shape served as the bomb's target. The area around the hypocentre is now known as the Peace Memorial Park, a triangular green area that host…
