A Symbol Preserved
The skeletal remains of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall stand as one of the most powerful anti-war symbols in human history. Preserved exactly as it appeared after the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, the structure was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
Peace Memorial Park
Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, the dome sits within the meticulously maintained Peace Memorial Park. Visitors walk along paved pathways, reflecting on the devastating impact of nuclear warfare and the enduring hope for world peace.
