A place made to preserve the voices of the atomic bomb victims.
Founded by the Japanese government to mourn the atomic bomb victims in 2002, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims was designed by Kenzo Tange. Listen to the painful accounts of the survivors and be transported back in time to the fateful day when the Atomic bomb was used for the first time on August 6, 1945. It is highly recommended to visit this significant site on August 6 every year where at exactly 8.15 am, the commemoration of the tragedy will take place, with a siren signalling the time when the bomb was dropped. Foreign dignitaries also attend this event where silence is observed and the solemn atmosphere will definitely leave a lasting impression. Overall, a very touching and informative experience that pays tribute to the lives lost; definitely a point of interest you shouldn’t miss.
