Hiroshima is a city which became famous after it was destroyed by an atomic bomb in 1945. My lifelong dream of visiting this place was fulfilled this year when I was able to visit Japan. I made sure I kept some days for visiting this city. What is so amazing about the city was that the city which was completely destroyed and everything was in ashes has today been rebuilt into a modern city.

A tour of the city visiting the Peace Park and museum takes you back in years when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city and left the city in ruins. I was stunned seeing the historical photographs and artifacts of Hiroshima. The vivid exhibition appeals to the visitors of the abolition of nuclear weapons and the world peace. Hiroshima has become a Mecca for peace activists worldwide, so besides the Peace Park, Peace Memorial Museum, and the A-Bomb Dome are nice places to visit. Miyajima is a must when in Hiroshima. It’s an ancient world heritage site and very famous. The beautiful shrine is built above the water, when at low tide, one can walk around freely, picking up shells and crabs. Other places of interest include Hiroshima Museum of Art, Hiroshima City Manga Museum and the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum.
