Rute

1. Step into a world of timeless tranquility at Shukkeien, a historic Japanese garden built in 1620 by the local samurai lord. Its name literally means "shrunken-scenery garden," as it skillfully reproduces miniature landscapes of mountains, valleys, and forests around a central scenic pond. Stroll along winding paths, cross traditional bridges, and enjoy seasonal beauty—from delicate cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant maple leaves in autumn. Having survived the 1945 atomic bombing, this serene oasis stands today as a powerful symbol of resilience and peace. Conveniently located near Hiroshima Station, it is the perfect cultural stop before or after exploring the Peace Memorial area.

2. The Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome) is one of the world’s most poignant reminders of the tragic consequences of nuclear warfare and a powerful symbol of everlasting peace. Originally built in 1915 as an industrial promotion hall, the structure unexpectedly survived the blast of the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, directly underneath the epicenter. Preserved in the exact state as it was immediately after the bombing, this UNESCO World Heritage Site stands today to convey the horrors of war while embodying humanity’s hope for a peaceful, nuclear-free world. Located in the heart of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, it is an essential, unforgettable stop for every traveler visiting Japan.

About Hiroshima

Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.

Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
