More than 60 years later, I still felt a real tiny part of the tragedy just by standing next to the dome. I musy i had a few tears on just by thinking about it while beeing there. It's a must see in Japan. Really..i'm out of words..

Everyone should visit here and see the horrors of mass destruction atomic weapons. It is a very emotional place and I shed quite a few tears. It is sobering to stand at ground zero and visit the peace park and musuem across the river. I did not really have the heart ot take many pictures in the Musuem, just a... More

The dome was once a fairly minor building but it has become not only the focus of Hiroshima but the entire anti-atomic movement. This imposing and resilient structure hauntingly hangs over the river like the skeleton of a by-gone age. Its modern day purpose is contemplation and reflection. To view it is to be compelled down this thought path. As... More

A very graphic picture of what happened many years ago. Like a beacon for peace amid the new, improved Hiroshima!

This empty shell of a building left at the point of impact is a shocking reminder of what happened.

The A Dome is decorated in Peace candles during the memorial services in August! It is absolutely beautiful... More

The Atomic Bomb Dome was an incredible site to see in Hiroshima. You don't fully realise the impact until you've been there and see it. Such a horrible piece of history surrounded by an absolutely gorgeous park and a river next to it. Most definitely recommend to all.

It is amazing that this building could withstand an atomic bomb. This was my first impression of the memorial and it was inspiring. Also a beautiful crane likes to sit on the top of the dome.

This is probably the most prominent symbol of Hiroshima. A must see. Walk around it. Sit and think. Take a walk across the nearby T shaped bridge. The downside is that the surroundings are not so nice.

This building was nearly the only thing standing for some distance around. There were physical reasons for that but the emotional reaction when pondering the site is sobering. One can imagine (and almost re-live through photos) this building standing by itself with only rubble around. The specter of the destruction and terrible loss of life is almost too real.
