Hiroshima - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

We continued walking through the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (which I did not take pictures in). I would recommend paying the museum a visit and reading through the exhibits as well as using the audio guide. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem are two of the most sobering testaments of what humans are capable of doing to one another that I have visited.

Hiroshima - Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome), World Heritage Site

First we visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome), World Heritage Site. The Genbaku Dome "survived" the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It is an extremely sobering building. The building has supports built into it to keep it standing and to preserve it as a memorial.

Hiroshima - JR Hiroshima Station

We arrived in JR Hiroshima Station and then road the Hiroshima Electric Railway to get to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. The JR Hiroshima Station was under construction.
