Hiroshima

Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum serve as an essential global emblem of peace and nuclear disarmament, commemorating the atomic bombing of August 6, 1945. The park, a 12-hectare green space, attracts over one million visitors annually, significantly more than many other historical parks in Japan. Central to the site is the A-Bomb Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserved in its almost-destroyed state. The Peace Memorial Museum alone welcomed a record 2,580,926 visitors in fiscal year 2025, with foreign visitors accounting for over 30% of the total, reflecting its profound international resonance.
