How this place changed my life
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.

A review of this place: Peace and Okonomiyaki
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.

The last time I went to this place
We visited the peace park and the museum. The museum is much better organized and thought-out than it was 23 years ago.
