When I left the Museum I felt really drained, almost depressed by the horrors of the exhibits you see last. This tribute to the people of Yokohama is an uplifting tribute to the human spirit, so it's a must-see, just about 500m away in front of you to your right, almost hidden below the ground after you leave the museum....

A must see in Hiroshima, it complements the Memorial Museum. Listen to, and reflect upon the experiences of those who survived the blast, as human testimony to the history contained within the close-by museum.

This museum is a bit more tucked away than the main memorial museum. We went along and really found it quite moving. If you are Japanese (or one of the nationalities who had citizens here at the time of the A-Bomb) you can look up their name and see their photo. It also had a 360 degree view, from ground... More

I can´t describe it, really. How would you imagine a peace memorial hall for the atomic bomb victims looks and feels like?

Not to belittle the significance of this Memorial Hall, but most if not all the information with regards to the history is already told at the museum. However there are some interesting stories of survivors and if you have local connection you can find who was impacted in a missing persons gallery.

The construction of this hall is very well done, taking one underground. Fortunately the display is small as most people will not want to spend too much time reading about the horrors of nuclear war. The presentation is excellent. There is no charge so you don't have to worry about leaving quickly if it is too much of a downer... More

A very startling place to think about the individuals who died in Hiroshima. The relatives of those who died must find it of comfort and it is thght provoking for those from other countries visiting to think of the numers who died.
