Sight Seeing

After Breakfast at hotel, we proceed by coach for sight seeing of Hiroshima . Hiroshima, a modern city on Japan’s Honshu Island,
was largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during World War II. Visit Hiroshima Peace Park and Atomic Bomb Dome and feel
emotionally stirred by the Museum, in which intriguing exhibitions speak eloquently of the atomic bomb dropped on the city 6
August 1945. This building, which was once an exhibition hall, is the only structure near the explosion’s center that survived in
any capacity.

The surviving skeleton has been maintained as it was left by the bombing and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in
1996. Close to ground zero, it is miraculous that anything survived a blast that was equivalent to dropping 15,000 tons of TNT.
The blast disintegrated everything withinone mile radius of its center, and caused destruction in a five mile area – essentially 2/3
of the city. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation and we will see
Genbaku Dome, one of the few buildings that was left standing near ground zero..
Before the war, this area was described as the lively shopping and entertainment center of Hiroshima. The park has many
memorials, monuments and sculptures, but the centerpiece is the monument that covers a cenotaph inscribed with the names of
all those that died from the nuclear bombing. Behind the cenotaph memorial is the Peace Flame which has burned continuously
since 1964 and will not be extinguished until all threat of nuclear bombing has been eliminated.

Ch i l d r e n ’ s P e a c e M o n u m e n t

Later we visit the Children’s Peace Monument. It was built with the contributions from 3200 Japanese schools and nine
countries. At its base is a plaque that reads:“This is our cry, this is our prayer: for building peace in this world”. The monument is
dedicated to all the children that died as a result of the bombing. The story behind the design of the Children’s Peace Monument
is even more touching.

The artwork depicts a young girl holding a crane and is inspired by the true story of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was merely two
years old when the atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima, living just over a mile away from ground zero. Although she and
her parents survived the blast,Sadako developed leukemia at the age of twelve due to the radiation from the atomic bomb.In the hospital Sadako learned of the Japanese legend that promised that a wish would be granted to anyone that folded 1000
paper origami cranes. Her wish was for a world without nuclear weapons. One version of the story says that she only managed to
make 644 paper cranes before she died on Oct. 12, 1955. The story goes on to say that her classmates went on to make 1000
paper cranes which were buried with her. Today, many come to this monument to donate paper cranes as a continuing symbol
for the desire for peace.
