Every year thousands of people flock to Hiroshima, Japan, to remember the victims of the first atomic bomb. On August 6th, paper lanterns are lit and released into the night with the names of loved ones and wishes of world peace and nuclear disarmament.
If you visit Japan during this time, you should plan on attending this ceremony. Even if you are not a history buff, there is a lot to learn about Japanese culture during this event.
