Hiroshima, Japan, eight decades after The Bomb

Hiroshima, Japan, eight decades after The Bomb

As the first target of a nuclear bomb in history Hiroshima has become forever synonymous with what occurred here on August 6, 1945 near the end of World War II.

Eight decades later it’s still a main reason why many visitors come here.

At the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, the park-like UNESCO World Heritage Site near ground zero in the center of the city, it’s impossible not to feel the emotional weight of the estimated 144,000 souls who died here on that fateful day, many of them instantly.

Whatever you may expect if you’ve yet to visit, today’s Hiroshima is a young (of necessity), vibrant, forward-looking city that, if you’re like me, you’ll like a lot.
