Hiroshima aka: 広島

I went to the Hiroshima Peace Museum when I was twelve, and the sight of the wax models of bomb victims, and the stories of the atomic bomb, made me realize how big the world was, and how horrible things could be sometimes. On the other hand, the experiences I had in the rest of Japan had shown me a happy, successful country, so that contrasted with the horrors of war. A startling experience for a young girl, and I highly recommend an open-minded visit.

Lived here for a year. Loved it. Good people, good times. Deeply painful and necessary things to consider and discuss. Hiroshima – I love you. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT EATING OKONOMIYAKI – it is delicious and a fun experience. Go to Okonomiyaki-mura.

We visited the peace park and the museum. The museum is much better organized and thought-out than it was 23 years ago.

I hope that is the closest i ever come to experiencing war…what a horrible time…chilling and lifechanging experience…set aside the day and your time will be well spent.

So far this is the best city I`ve been to in Japan not to big it also has the beautiful Peace Park it also has a sense of hope of growing out of the ashes.
