Next, visit the Atomic Bomb Dome located within the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. As you walk to this next location, your guide will provide historical context about World War II and the events leading up to the bombing.
Take a brief stroll around the park to visit and explain some of its most relevant monuments. Stop at the Children’s Peace Monument and learn about the story of Sadako Sasaki and the other children who perished as a result of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima.

Next, visit the Cenotaph for the Victims of the Atomic Bomb, in which lies a registry of the names of all of those who perished as a consequence of the bombing.
Stand in front of this monument and observe the “Flame of Peace,” and Atomic Bomb Dome in perfect alignment. Reflect on the impact of such a tragic event. End your tour at the Peace Memorial Museum. Observe the personal belongings left behind by the victims of the atomic bombing.
