Hiroshima

Another day, another Shinkansen! Today we continued our journey to the south of Honshu, taking the Shinkansen to Hiroshima. 


When we arrived, we walked to the peace park.




Firstly, we arrived at the dome - the building left standing after the bombing.


Then we visited the memorial 


and the museum (which was very crowded - you’re not allowed to take photographs inside)


I visited the children’s memorial, which has booths of paper cranes that people from all over the world have made and sent by their hundreds.



The mound contains the ashes of the people who died from the bombing.


I saw the peace bell.


The whole park was peaceful, and its message is important.


We took the tram back to our hotel.
