A day in Hiroshima - Atomic bomb dome

1-10 Otemachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0051, Japan

We will only be at Hiroshima for short time and with our luggage in tow, thinking we can leave our luggage at the train station luggage storage. But alas, its full. Fortunately, there is another location in short walking distance we can keep luggage for the day. 


The atomic bomb dome is the only place we visited. The place is a very tranquil and is next to a river and forms part of the Hiroshima Peach Memorial park. This place was designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1996. This dome was previously the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall.


Its a easy trip from the main Hiroshima train station. There a few buses/tram that heads to the atomic bomb dome. We stayed for a short while before returning to the train station to head to our hotel for the day.
