In this Japan Vlog, we visit Hiroshima, spending the day in the area around the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. We knew this would be a tough day, and we were right. However, we also didn’t know that Hiroshima’s grief would pave way for a new message to emerge – one of hope.

アメリカは戦争を終わらせる為に核を使ったのではない 日本で核実験を行った
Thank you so much for visiting Hiroshima and showing it to the world ❤
The history of Hiroshima was a really sad and awful.
So many people died but I hope they will be the last victims by nuclear weapons in the world.
泣いて下さってありがとう。
学んで下さってありがとう。
決して忘れてはなりません。
私達はアメリカ🇺🇸を恨みません。
私達は戦争を恨みます。
今や日本🇯🇵とアメリカ🇺🇸は友達です。仲良くなれるのです。
こんなにも世界中が災害で苦しんでいるのに戦争をしかけるなんて信じられません。
未だ学べ無いのかと悲しみでいっぱいです。💧💧💧
お互いを尊重しあえる世界を築いていかなければ。
あらためて、穏やかで平和な世界を祈ります！
素敵な動画をありがとうございます🍀
Have been following your channel only recently and enjoying the content. this video makes me love you guys even more. Keep travelling and sharing its great to see you make content like this 🙂
If am not mistaken, a fact I learned in Hiroshima is that since they lost all their trees in the blast, all the regions and other cities in Japan gifted Hiroshima new trees to plant so all the beautiful big trees around the city were gifts of solidarity which thought was beautiful.
Prob best to google that to fact check! Hopefully I remembered correctly 🙂
Your video was beautifully done. Thank you for sharing! The world has never been the same since that moment.
ありがとう。濃厚ですか？
How about Pearl Harbor
Next time do your report on the USS Arizona please
Beautiful video.
Growing up, we all learned about Little Boy & Fat Man. But this memorial hits home in a way that a textbook never could.
Again, really well-done video, you two ❤
素晴らしい動画を有難う。 アメリカによる原爆投下はとても非人道的だと思います。またそれと同時に今の価値観や道徳で判断できない部分も歴史には多々あります。
だからこそ歴史や他者の価値観、文化から学び本当の意味での多様性と多彩な文化を楽しむ許容性を得る必要が日本人も含めてあると思っています。そして未来に生きる。
広島市内は1発の爆弾により積み重ねてきた歴史と文化、人々の生活を一瞬にして消し去りました。しかし今では人が生活し、それらを復活させました。平和資料館で歴史を学び感傷的になる、祈りを捧げた後は是非、平和を愛し思い切り広島を楽しんで下さい。人生には学びと楽しみが必要です。
また広島には戦争を免れた宮島(厳島神社)や尾道など素晴らしい文化的地域があります。尾道は海外の方からするとまだマイナーだと思いますが興味を持った方は是非調べてみてくださいね。
Thank you for reporting on the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. I am very grateful as Being A=bombed Ⅱ.
Arigato. Thank you
その公園の下には大きな街がありました。
Thank you very much: I appreciate for your kindness: 平和と希望のメッセージが、美しい虹と共に、世界に届きますように。
I think it's a very noble video.😢
I strongly hope for world peace.🙏
I am Japanese
Born after the war and raised in Japan, where freedom, democracy and economic prosperity
In particular, I want Americans to know that this museum is not intended to be anti-America.
And what I want to hope now is that the third city in the world that uses atomic bombs will never be born.
Welcome to Japan🙌 and thank you for coming to Hiroshima and letting us know what happened. Few people hate Americans anymore. We love each other's cultures. I wish you peace 🤲🇯🇵🇺🇸
I’m glad you guys visited this place. I hope someday humans realize absurdity of killing each other. There are much more important things to do in this world than engaging in a war.
No buts and what abouts. War is not okay.
辛くても、苦しくても、悔しくても
それでも世界は続いていく
長崎の原爆資料館にも行っていただきたいです。被曝マリア、教会などを見ていただきたい。
Been following your channel, always enjoy your detailed research and informative narration, but this is the best , thanks for your honest and heartfelt comments. I visited Hiroshima once, and Nagasaki is the place I want to visit, okay dropped one in Hiroshima and Japan was ready to surrender, but why another one in Nagasaki? just to test a different kind of A-bomb?
Again, thanks for this great video.
👏👏👏ありがとう
Thank you for coming to this place in Hiroshima. I cried with you for the first time in a long time.
No more sad wars like this. We Japanese do not hold a grudge against Americans.
The relationship between the United States and Japan is very effective now.
Today's video really moved me. thank you.❤
「広島」を知ることで、戦争や原爆がいかに愚かであるかを知ることができます。
誰でも間違いや失敗をします。大事なのは、その経験から何を学ぶか、です。
絶望の後にも希望があります。今現在の希望とは、私たちのことです。過ちは繰り返してはいけません。
今後の旅も、どうか存分に日本を楽しんで下さい🌱🌱
your tender tears made beautiful rainbow
You shot this video beautifully
動画を見て泣きました。
国の争いに国民が巻き込まれるのは本当に心が痛いですね😢
戦争が無くなりますように🥺
まだ規制される前、その塔の下にいました。まだ入れた時です。
戦後生まれですが、自分の名の意味には、平和や祈りが込められており、さらに何かと核に関わるものと縁があります。
宇宙にとっても危険なものであり、消滅しかねないもの。
日本だからこそ、体験した、日本人だからこそ、使うしかなかった…と、親であり兄弟姉妹である神々は、日本人を使い、いかに危険なものか、考えてもらうために、世界に知らせたのだと。
日本人には、長男長女として世界にメッセージを送る役割があり、さらに、こうした重い役割があるからだそうです。
あの日、写真を撮ると、たくさんの人々が写っていました。亡くなっている人々でした。何かを訴えているようでした。
A touching video! Thank you for presenting this event 😢 ☔️ 🌈
泣いてくれてありがとうございます。
I have visited Pearl Harbor with my American friends who took their families to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki later on in.
I had a sense of healing when I saw our former prime minister Abe and President Obama together visited both Hiroshima and Pearl Harbor.
Thank you for visiting Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima. ありがとうございます。
The rainbow looks like a thank you from Hiroshima to Bill and Heather.
Please come to Japan again and again ! thank you so much.
I know this is a somber and dismal comment, but I also know it’s important and relevant to what’s happening in the world right now.
As has been said too many times, history repeats itself.
[Japan has just announced an unprecedented US$320b military build-up because of the increasing threats from Russia, China and North Korea.]
Russia and North Korea, yes and yes! But, China? Not really. Japan needs to differentiate China from Russia and North Korea (blatantly despotic rogue nations).
[Japan and the world need to know better : Don’t regard/treat China the same as Russia.]
Don’t push China closer to Russia by regarding it to be another threat let alone the same level of threat as Russia. Instead, JPN must fundamentally change its attitude towards China and try to be more of an ally than an enemy. Then, it would help hasten the collapse of PooTin’s RottenSia.
It must be recognized that China has not been aggressive and invasive like Russia has always been. As the world’s superpowers, there’s a stark contrast between Russia and China.
While Russia relies almost solely on its military power and natural resources, China has been trying to dominate the world mostly with its economic and technological power. In short, Russia is mostly about muscle power while China is all about brain power. There must be a huge difference in the IQ levels between these two nations.
For China, the rich nations in the West are important clients for its exports, and naturally it wants them to have enough money to buy its products and services (mainly tourism) with their economy staying in a good shape, while Russia is trying to destroy it. So, there’s a fundamentally conflicting interest between Russia and China in dealing with geopolitics.
Moreover, quite like the relationship between China and India in BRICS, China and Russia are not really allies. Their relationship mostly stands on a fragile “my enemy’s enemy is a friend” basis. Actually, China and Russia have historically been enemies and had territorial disputes.
So, just like companies care so much about their public (or brand) images, China can and should try not to appear to be in support of the brutal and ugly nation, PooTin’s RottenSia. China must try harder to differentiate itself from Russia, but alas, so far China doesn’t seem to be smart enough and hasn’t done much in this respect.
I am a Japanese man living in America. I am so glad that my parents did not teach me hatred toward the United States when I was a child. Once my father said to me, the war does not bring anything good to anybody but unhappiness.
Step 1 go to Hawaii Pearl Harbor Memorial. Step 2 go to South Korea WW.II Memorial. Step 3 Hiroshima and Nagasaki is WW.II Karma.
