Thank you to our volunteer guide, Akiko, who is the daughter of an A-bomb survivor, for her time and generosity in showing us around this beautiful and peaceful memorial park. Whether you also ask for a guide (which is a free service available from inside the museum building, just ask at the desk) or just wander round the park by yourself, it’s a fitting place to remember the many victims of the Hiroshima A-bomb, both those that died immediately and those who died even years afterwards from radiation exposure related conditions, and to contemplate the importance of peace. Do not miss this during your visit to Hiroshima.
