Hiroshima's Monuments

In Hiroshima I've visited a lot of peace monuments, and it was super cool!
I will tell you about all of the Hiroshima's Peace monument.
Enjoy!

1. The Hypocenter Monument (the exact place the bomb falls)

As you can see in the picture in the left, the monument looks really pretty huh?
But, it's actually where the bomb dropped.
The round thing in the middle, is actually the exact place the bomb dropped.
On the top of the round thingy, there's some "shapes" that if you see from the sky making a clockwise 8.15

2. Children's Peace Monument

Yup, this place is for children!
Remembering the tragedy of Sadako Sasaki (定子佐々木) a girl that survive the bombing without one scratch when she was 2 years old.
But, when she's 10 years old she got Leukemia from the bomb radiation.
She died when she was 11 years old when she was desperately making 1,000 paper cranes so she can survive.
Her friends searched donations from worldwide to make this monument!
Since then, people from worldwide starting to put lots of paper cranes there!

3. Hiroshima's Peace Arch Dome
The last but never the least, Hiroshima's Peace Arch Dome!
This monument is to remember the tragedy in 1945.
Some of the people bring flower cranes here!

That's all for now, keep in touch to my blog to see more posts about Hiroshima!
