Hiroshima was the first city to be hit with the atomic bomb; it happened on August 6, 1945. Every year Hiroshima has a huge event on that day, which I just missed! Hiroshima is an amazing city. The people are lovely.
I went to the Peace Memorial Museum, which was an incredible experience. I had no idea what impact the atomic bomb truly had on the city. In one second, the entire city was in rubble. Only a few buildings remained (one of which is now the "A-bomb Dome" which was the Industrial Promotion Hall before). 100,000 people were killed instantly. The museum had horrific pictures of the victims.
The A-bomb Dome hasn't been touched since the bombing. There is still rubble inside the building, nothing has been cleared out. Its an incredible reminder of what happened; its quite insane that the building still exists. The museum, children's memorial and dome are all in the same park; its beautiful.
