Atomic Bomb Dome Hiroshima

Na een relaxte vlucht ( ze hadden me naast een nooduitgang gezet dus ik had veel beenruimte) ben ik rond 14u hier aangekomen ,dan nog 45min op de bus en de hostel zoeken dus ik was eindelijk tegen 16u op mijn kamer. ( hostel was maar 3 min van de bushalte maar ik er toch 1 u15 over gedaan) Eerste indruk vanop de bus is dat het hier nogal groen is …

I went to Hiroshima for a weekend. Basically saw the entire city within the span of 2 days. We took a 3 hour train ride from Sasebo to Hiroshima. We utilized the bullet train (Shinkensen) which was very interesting -- just like a flight, really -- and visited so many shrines and things, it's hard to describe. Would definitely recommend Hiroshima to …

I went to the peace park on my first day there, and very much enjoyed it. But, it's a very sad situation and if you don't know about the story please google it. It was the first atomic bomb dropped on hiroshima, japan by america. I also saw the childrens peace monument. A lot of people talk about peace and no more war, but going to hiroshima REALLY …

Difficile de parler d'Hiroshima sans évoquer l'histoire du XXe siècle. Le 6 août 1945, Hiroshima est la première ville sur terre à connaître une attaque nucléaire. La bombe, lâchée par le bombardier américain Enola Gay, explose à environ 600m au dessus de la ville, détruisant la plupart des constructions dans …

Today started with pouring rain. As we left for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, it cleared up. Yesterday, we went to the Peace Memorial Museum where we saw many photos and artifacts from the dropping of the Atomic bomb. Today we started out by touring the park, seeing the Atomic Bomb Dome, which was originally an expo center and now, after the …

Our first stop in Hiroshima was the Peace Memorial Park, which, on 6th August 1945, was the place where the atomic bomb was dropped. The museum is an amazing lesson in history, and very moving. All around the park there are monuments commemorating those who passed away when the bomb exploded or as a consequence of the burns and radiations. Intense …

The city of Hiroshima is quite remarkable. In only sixty years it has completely rebuilt itself from destruction. It is a symbol of how many things can be right with the world in spite of so many things being so wrong.

We started the day by heading to the island of Miyajima. Getting off the ferry, there are all these signs about not …

Alweer een week in Japan: na de eerste dagen Tokyo ben ik met de Shinkansen (bullet train) richting Hiroshima gereisd, waar ik nu zit.

Capsule hotel Tokyo
Ondanks dat ik niet werk met een bucket list moet ik toegeven dat het slapen in een capsule hotel wel een wens was van mij. Het idee van een capsule hotel is dat het de kans biedt …

Friday 21^st
September 2012

We woke up to find a fantastic day – loads of sun, but not
too hot and with none of the humidity that afflicted us in Tokyo! We headed straight for Miyajima to see its
temple and famous floating torii gate – really we couldn't have asked for better
weather to make …

Hiroshima is definitely worth a visit if going to Japan. Met a couple from Coventry at the hostel so walked around the city with them on Sunday. The dome (near enough the only remains of the original city and at the epicentre) has been so well preserved, and the peace park and museum across the river shows exactly how Hiroshima have responded in …
