Hiroshima Peace Park and Memorial Museum|Remembering history is to cherish peace

Arriving at Hiroshima Peace Park was a moment of heavy emotion, yet a profound sense of significance. Japan is the only country in the world to have suffered an atomic bomb attack, and this memorial serves to remind future generations of the cruelty of war. The exhibition hall details the events and aftermath of the atomic bombing. Each photograph and authentic artifact is moving, deeply evoking the suffering caused by war. The fact that most of the victims were innocent civilians further evokes sadness and reflection. The park itself is a tranquil and solemn place, with the Atomic Bomb Dome standing quietly by the river, a testament to history. After visiting, one cannot help but silently pray: May world peace prevail, and may such tragedies never be repeated.
