Everyone should try to visit this space at least once in their life. The first exhibition space is appropriately sobering, affecting and shocking, and is the highlight of the museum. I do have some comments about where I think things could be improved. The most important regards the use of euphemism in many of the descriptions, like describing Manchuria as “an independent state” or referring to the forced mobilization (what was essentially slavery) of many Koreans, Chinese, POWs, etc. without the use of the word “forced.” Another issue is more technical; some basic questions are never addressed, such as when and how the Hiroshima area became less radioactive. I think more context at the outset would help with a general understanding of the history. For example, it’s unclear why the youth of Hiroshima were pressed into tearing down homes (I can’t recall the name given to these units), unless you happen to read a very small panel at the very end of the museum that mentions that the purpose of this was to create firebreaks. Finally, the rationale offered for the use of the A-bomb could be discussed with more context. The notion that the expense of the project to develop the bomb was a major justification in its use is never really substantiated. Also, there’s no discussion of the moral dimensions of the emperor’s decision not to surrender after the first A-bomb was used. All that being said, it’s really something that must be seen and experienced. I commend the museum for dispensing with impartiality and taking clear positions against the use of WMDs and in favour of disarmament and arms control.

This is an absolute must-see when you are in Hiroshima. Be prepared for a moving and emotional experience. It's one of the best museums I've visited in my life. The only downside is that it was rather crowded. If you have an option, choose a weekday for a visit instead. I was in Hiroshima for a full weekend only and I couldn't miss it. Highly recommended

I've come here several times over the past few years. Every time is just as tough, sad, emotional, but also heart-warming about perseverance of the people and community. Although allowed, I don't ever take pictures inside as it's better to be present in the moment. This is an automatic must do on any trip to Japan.

This museum is documenting the complete history about impact and situation during atomic bomb in world war II. It was a devastating moment that i couldn’t even imagine. And the museum successfully capture all the moment. With lots of remains evidence/goods/clothes/ruins building being a showcase to remind us of how important peace needed in this world. It surely gave us a chill and bit a goosebumps as well. We can only feel silence in all the museum area. Somehow i felt that the time is stop in there. Memorable but sad at the same time. It’s a must historical site visit in Hiroshima.

A moment in history that everyone should see...such a overwhelming feeling coming into Hiroshima knowing the history of what happened and to see it in person words cannot describe it. I took no pictures inside the museum because once you walk thru there it is just silent as your just overwhelmed with emotions from the experience and the artifacts and stories that you see and read. The Park and Hiroshima do an amazing job of showing the reasons that this should never happen again...not about why it happened just that it should never happen again.

I stopped by to visit this place during my group tour through the country. This is one of those extraordinary places that can't be forgotten. The photos and video's you see in the museum have made huge impact. This should be mandatory for everyone to see. I saw visitors walking out in tears because of the fact they couldn't cope with the imagery shown.

Overall a very good experience 👍 highly recommended. The audio tour is pretty much a audio version of what is written on the plaques on the main tour exhibition. So if there is not that many people I think you can skip the audio tour. But if you are there on a weekend and it is busy I actually recommend the audio tour. You can just stand slightly back and you still get all the information. Overall if you read everything on the main tour it can easily take between 1 or 2 hours. Definitely drink something before you enter. Inside the main exhibition it is also pretty dark.

The museum was amazing! I enjoyed almost every minute. There were a lot of school kids roaming and running around doing their homework, stopping and pushing to look at all of the exhibitions, that it was hard to enjoy everything. At one point the room got so crowded, that people were looking around to see if there was a security guard anywhere to control the kids. I didn't even finish the particular section, I just left to the next room. I understand kids need to do their homework, but that many kids laughing, yelling, pushing, going in between people, and stopping to do their work, while people who had been waiting in line for a while had to move to the side. That was absolutely frustrating. Other than that, there were plenty of things to learn, see, buy, and appreciate about the Hiroshima tragedy. I like that there were security guards all around, although some can be in the main rooms to direct some of the traffic and possibly control the school kids. Overall, I would love to bring the rest of my family to this museum.

Clearly a place of great significance. This museum tells the story of the Bomb, its effects, and the aftermath for Hiroshima. A very somber experience. As well as exhibitions, maps, photography there are conference rooms and performance spaces. A visit will take one hour or so.

It’s one of those museums that will ‘get’ to you! Quite thought-provoking, and well-built storytelling (provides significant historical context on the before,during and after of the A-bomb). That lets you soak in the experience as much as possible and deeply understand. Dedicate a couple of hours to the museum, definitely - it’s really worth it! A disclaimer: there are some strong and graphic images, so keep that in mind, especially if bringing younger children alongside you.

What a powerful experience and well worth the trip. Don’t miss the movie downstairs before you enter the main exhibition hall (past the rental lockers). A truly incredible museum that honestly does not have any significant political or historical leanings. To get the full picture I highly recommend reading through the interactive digital exhibits and not just the narratives on the walls. It can get busy and crowded in the museum so make sure you have plenty of time to walk through (2-3 hours).

Haunting. Powerful and something you simply must see if you can. A beacon of peace formed from one of the most horrific instances in our collective history. Don't pose for insta like some sort of animal.... Read, absorb, and cultivate the experience for what it should be.

(Translated by Google) Kenzo Tange of the world who laid the foundation of modern architecture bet his life and built it as a proof of postwar reconstruction, imitating the appearance of people standing up in the devastated land, and the atomic bomb dome can be seen at the point where it stood up. One of the best buildings where Tange himself spent his soul on spending money on bureaucrats while the budget was insufficient. I would like you to see and experience the thoughts of the people at that time on the reconstruction and the requiescats of those who died. At the memorial museum, a handwritten drawing of the Kenzo Tange office at that time was exhibited in commemoration. I would like to pay tribute to the young architects of the Kenzo Tange office when I look at the drawing and expression methods that are the same as they are now.

This place will bring you back to the historical time of Hiroshima. Memories of the incident and even the real evidences and remains are goosebumps, yet peace will make you feel proud of how Hiroshima overcome that scenario. The tour in this place will make you appreciate the importance of PEACE in your life.

The focus on this museum is more on the victims and the impact on the city. There is not a lot of historical context (which would have been good), however as someone who loves museums (>100 visited in over a dozen countries, including over a dozen in Japan), and a lover of documentaries (I'm such a nerd), i was intrigued by the impact on the victims however felt the story telling was missing historical context and the omissions of certain events which led up to the horrific decision to destroy cities would have been more powerful. The pricing is sharp, but capacity control was poor (it was hard to move and people were crushed next to each other) - this would have been shameful for a first world museum prior to the pandemic, and is atrocious now, we switched from surgical masks to n95 masks shortly after entering the museum. I think you have to visit this museum, however in order to fully understand the impact of the destruction of the city, you need to understand the events prior to the bombing, this combined with the issue around crowding, I could only give this museum a 3* rating.

Hiroshima Peace Park Memorial is a great place to visit if you’re having a day trip to Hiroshima during your Japan travels. It is a really valuable and emotion evoking experience. The museums offer a great amount of resources and information to educate yourself. The Memorial is incredibly beautiful and the vibe around park really helps you feel the gravity of what happened all those years ago on that unfortunate day and years to come. Definitely recommend experiencing this.

Very moving, impactful exhibits. The museum has three main sections, the biggest of which shows the impact of the atomic bomb. It tells personal stories of tragedy from the perspectives of the people on the ground impacted by the bomb. It's quite emotional, and some of the images are very graphic. It may not be suitable for young children. There are also two smaller sections, one dedicated to the technology and politics surrounding nuclear weapons, and one to the history of Hiroshima. We spent about 2 hours, and you could probably spend 3 hours easy if you want to go through all the material. Entry is 200 yen per adult. You can purchase an audio tour for an additional 400, which is very worth it in my opinion. There are a total of 55 entries in this audio tour, and much of it is not included in written form in the museum. There may be a bit of a wait to get in. We waited around 20 minutes.

Significant and meaningful museum, very strong message that needs to be delivered. The entrance was only 200 yen and the audio guide in many languages (including Portuguese) for only 400 yen. The only drawback is that it gets very crowded, it was very hard to focus and explore all the texts since it was impossible to get near all the exhibitions, especially the victims exhibition. Also there were lot of school kids so it can get unbearable to enjoy the experience... Minding that I came in a Weekday, Tuesday in November, can't even imagine how full it would be at Weekends...

I visited 24 years ago. Again today. Just as emotional and very factual. Impactful and important to visit. No photos out of respect of those in past.

(Translated by Google) It was a museum that made me want to cover my eyes, but I thought that I shouldn't turn my eyes away and just think transiently. (Original) 目を覆いたくなるような資料館でしたが、目を背けず、一過性の思いだけにしてはいけないなと思いました。

The way the memories are saved there is really appreciated! The whole ambiance gave me a time travel. The video of the incident, the materials with stories and letters everything! I was literally crying, not only me I saw all the visitors were being so emotional. I highly recommend people visiting Hiroshima to visit this museum at least once!

A very somber museum, yet remains informative throughout and without malice. A place to visit to help deepen your understanding.

Definitely worth the visit. But at the moment because of the COVID cases you will have to wait in line for a reservation time slot.

(Translated by Google) I visited when the whole building was open 5 to 6 years ago. I wanted people who experienced war and those who did not to know that war is a bad thing and only causes sadness. The amount of leftovers and memorandums on display is so huge that it cannot be seen in a few hours a day, and I remember going to see it in two days at that time. However, I feel that there were more exhibits before the renewal. (Original) 5〜6年前に全館開放されていた時に訪れました。 戦争を体験した人も、そうでない人も、戦争はいけない事だと、悲しみしか生まない事を知って欲しいと思いました。 展示物の遺留品や手記内容は、とても1日数時間では見きれないほどの膨大な量で、その時は2日に分けて観に行った記憶があります。 ただ、リニューアルする前の方が展示物が多かった気がします。

Heartfelt condolences to those who lost their lives. A must see place if you are visiting Hiroshima. Entrance fee is only 200 yen. It is one of the best museums.

One of the most eye-opening museums I have ever visited. The museum only cost ¥200 which was worth the price considering it has over 10 main exhibitions. There are areas that showcase the devastation of the bomb, damages from radiation, cries of the soul, living after the bomb, a 3D model of the blast, the dangers of nuclear weapons, survivor testimonies, recover and support and the prospect for creating a peaceful future for all.

The peace museum is an important destination and a place of remembrance. School kids will offer you some paper folded crane in exchange for a short conversation to practice their English. The museum is very well made and will keep anyone interested. The dome outside the museum is the icon that can be seen by day and by night with the same emotion.

Didn’t want to go here thinking I’ll be just sad—so glad we did. Even my boyfriend cried and he’s a stoic and definitely not a crier. I highly recommend going. NO to wars and nuclear weapons

Do recommend going for a day trip and combined it with Miyajima. The museum was absolutely worth a visit, its educational, a story telling, and bring tissue with you as you will get emotional just like I did. It's unforgettable, one to remember and will visit again if I do return to Japan. The fair was only 200¥ for adults and less for children. Go around before 9am, as tourists will come in batches. If you like, go with a tour and they will tell you a lot of the history.

This was a moving emotional experience. Here you get a glimpse into the stories of a few from the tens of thousands who were killed on August 6, 1945 at 8:15 am. The carefully chosen artifacts helped illuminate the collective human impact of this day. From those who were in the womb to the elderly, you get to see their story unfold. It is truly heartbreaking to see how many children were killed or impacted by this bomb. Get the audio guide! It helped contextualize and provide more insights than what is written. I am so thankful I got it since I was about to forgo it. It was helpful to listen to the information as I waited to get near the artifacts when there were crowds.

A must see if you are in Hiroshima. It’s very impressive and very moving. I would go during midday to get out if the hot summer sun. The surrounding park and area is also really beautiful and well maintained.

War is Hell and this is coming from a man who fought in the Gulf War and Iraq Freedom. The use of nuclear weapons is the worst Hell that anyone could endure and I honestly hope that we will never see use of these types of weapons again. From my perspective. While visiting you are humbled by the destruction of what has occurred. I have visited the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Museum and Park. Today, I was able to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. There is a differences between both of them. I fill that is their approach and message they are attempting to present or their approach as one could say. The aftermath of the bomb being dropped and exploded over these two cities. Nagasaki showed more of the perspective of the victims of the explosion and the carnage of it all. When leaving the museum I was in tears. While the Hiroshima showed the carnage, and the victims. It did not go into the brutality as far as Nagasaki has. I walked out sad, but it did not bring me to tears. I did go to the eternal flame and said a prayer for all of the victims. Before you make a decision to either go or not to based on this review, I highly recommended that you do go and visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It is still an experience to have and a better understanding of this historic event. We need to have this experience to ensure that we make the most educated decisions in life.

Amazing. Beautiful structure and museum. Lovely area to visit overall. Hard to view the memorabilia, witness accounts and to read about the events of that day and thereafter. I did cry a little and had to step outside eventually. Although hard to see, it's a must if you are in the area. We cannot ignore the devastating effects of war and an atomic bomb. I pray this will NEVER happen again!

A thoughtful memorial park, consisting of several sculptures, and thought provoking visuals. Adjacent to the needed atomic bomb museum - a must for anyone who is ready to face the truth from an honest and Japanese perspective. The museum ends with a historical review of how the victims of the atomic bomb were abandoned for about a decade, and how efforts (e.g., treaty's) to reduce nuclear proliferation were somewhere between a dismal failure to marginally effective. For those of us that were educated in the USA, the museum provides an alternate narrative.

They have vast collection of photos or any memorials from the Hiroshima's nuclear bomb disaster in 1945, alongside with the explanations in English and Japanese. Many of them are really gruesome, reminding the visitor about the horror during those days. I can't hold my tears during this visit, really can't imagine the cruelty happened back then. In this museum, you are not only learning about what happened back then, but it also make you feel all the emotions felt by the victims of the tragedy.

This is a nice museum and we didn’t have to wait long until we went to the 2nd Floor where it showed where the A bomb was dropped and the devastation that came after. For the admission fee it costs 200 yen per person and 400 yen for the headset should you wish to hear the language commentary of your choice. It does have many graphic pictures as well as items donated by the victims families which left me humbled and sadden. The ground level has souvenirs and around the corner outside the museum is a little visitors seating area. Overall, a nice place to reflect and to remember those who passed away. Pro tip: There are 3 tour buses (Lemon, orange and green) you can use your JR pass for free just outside Hiroshima station and they stop at all the site locations.

こうして文章にするのが難しいです。 リニューアル前に何度も行きました。静かです。涙を流す外国のお祖母様、写真、言葉… 語り部としていらっしゃった被爆者のKさんとお話しした時「子供たちが怖がるから この像は撤去されてしまう」と皮膚の垂れ下がった像を記憶に残しています。その姿を覚えようと連日入館しました。残酷でも事実と向き合わなければならないです。

Mixed emotion

It was chilling and sad

From December 14th, you will need to make a reservation on the website. Reservations must be made at least 3 days in advance. I've always wanted to go and visited for the first time. Many children and young people with a future will die from the atomic bomb, and I couldn't stop crying when I saw the pictures of those who died. The people around me were crying too. There were also many young people.

- reasonable ticket price - need at least one hour to see everything -Near Hiroshima castle ( around 10 minutes by walk) - In my personal opinion, it is the most important Hiroshima landmark that must be visited - describe the tragedy with all details .

It’s nice:-) Heartfelt condolences to those who lost their lives.

One of the best museums I have ever been to. It really hammers home the horrors of atomic war with some amazing artefacts and accounts. A must visit.

Similar to seeing a Holocaust museum, so fortify yourself emotionally. Densely packed information and good layout. I went twice in two days and still didn't see everything.

It is heartbreaking, but it is real. You can learn about the whole story through your visit. The tour is very well organized, and I would advice you get an audio commentary to help telling you all the stories while touring around.

A sobering experience to be sure. A somber walk through an awful time in modern history. Went reasonably early in the morning and was still quite full, but nothing compared to a little later when the tour buses started turning up. Definately something everything should visit and take the time to walk though.

Wow what a museum! You can easily spend 2-3 hours there. Entrance is 200 Yen and Audio Guide 400 Yen on top. They also have lockers for bags for free. It is emotional, interesting and you are overwhelmed afterwards. You can get audio guide but also without you can read and read for hours. Personal stories are share, pics available, videos, historic information, and and …

Must stay more than half day!!! Unfortunately I don’t have too much time to spend. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is one of the quietest museums I have ever been. The museum aims to convey the reality of the damage incurred by an atomic bomb to people around the world. The museum itself is not huge but it is very cozy and well-laid out. It has many informative exhibits. Very emotional !!!! Recommended to visit here

Extraordinary. I would like to come back as I did not have enough time before closing to read everything I wanted to read. For me, this was the educational experience of a lifetime. I am glad I came and am thankful to the museum and contributors for the vast collection of knowledge, testimonies, photos, etc, that made the museum what it is

This museum is very sad The history of the bombing is presented to everyone, showing the atrocity of the after effects of the detonation. Go and visit this museum, it is very important to remember this part of the Japanese history. Tickets are only 200 Yens per adult

A deeply saddening museum. Stories told by victims and families - memories left behind. A genocide that keeps taking years, decades later. Incredibly heartbreaking.

It's a must visit park. It's sort of sad but it's a history that we should not repeat and we should learn from it. Washrooms are very limited. Expect to have so much sun exposure so be prepared to bring a hat, sunblock and a full water bottle. There's a museum close by that tells you a lot about the history and the recent actions that are being taken to reduce or eliminate the chance of such an event happening again.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is located in the Peace Memorial Park and is a place that shows the details of the events leading up to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath. The museum has a huge collection of artifacts from the bombing including personal belongings of victims, photos and videos documenting the devastation caused by the bomb. However, some of the exhibits can be quite graphic and may not be suitable for everyone. It is highly recommended to do some preparation to learn about this museum before entering it. Nevertheless, I believe it is a thought-provoking and sobering experience that provides important historical context for understanding the dangers of nuclear weapons and the importance of maintaining a peaceful world. The museum is not small and for those who like to go through the details, you could spend 2 hours for the visit. From this well-maintained and promoted museum, you can see how important this history of the city means to the people in Hiroshima. They also have a peace watch which counts the number of days since the first dropping of the A-bomb and number of days since the Latest Nuclear Test as a reminder for visitors. Another example is thatthere is also a display showing a letter to USA president in 2022 as a protest on having nuclear test which goes against peace and the goal for a world free of nuclear weapons. Overall, I learned a lot from this museum and it is a must-visit location if you are in Hiroshima.

Super moving and emotional moment. Probably the best museum I had to visit. It’s a carefully curated museum displaying a very difficult moment in human history. Learnt a lot more than I expected to. It was busy when we visited which I suspect is often the case. Although the queue was very long we were kept moving along and were inside quicker than you might expect. Definitely worth the visit.

I almost didn’t make it to this museum, but I am happy I eventually managed to visit it before leaving Hiroshima. I will say, this was a very powerful experience that is hard to describe using mere words. It is definitely something everyone should make time for when in Hiroshima, in my opinion. The museum has a large collection of photos, drawings, personal belongings retrieved from the destroyed buildings or donated by survivors or their families, testimonies from the affected families about their loved ones - it is quite difficult to even look at some of these. The scale and horror of the disaster is unthinkable. There is also a section about the history surrounding the event, and one about the future of humanity in connection with nuclear weapons. I spent around 1h30 there, but I would say 2 hours would be better to have time to leisurely visit the entire museum. There’s also a small shop selling books and souvenirs, and a few temporary exhibitions. The entrance fee is ¥200 for adults.

Amazing museum and memorial for the many lives that were lost. The audio tour is worth the extra $. Also, when you think you’re at the end of the tour when you get to the long hallway full of windows where you can see Peace Park, keep going. It’s not over. A lot more to see after this spot.

I visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park today and I was deeply moved by the experience. The park is a very solemn place, where you can reflect on the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit. The most striking sight is the Atomic Bomb Dome, the only building that survived the blast on 6 August 1945. It is very surreal to see it up close, as it stands as a silent witness to the devastation and suffering that occurred here. I felt a mix of sadness, anger, and hope as I walked around the park and learned more about the history and the message of peace that it conveys.

Wonderful display of artifacts and photographs. Was very busy but people were respectful and the atmosphere was sombre. Well worth the visit and with such a large amount to view and read, a few hours is needed to do it justice. Lovely Memorial close by.

A must see memorial dedicated to enlighten people of what we must not do to one another.

Highly recommend seeing this if you are in the area. Very well done and speaks truth.

Very good museum, maybe the best museum. Scheduled to stay 3 hours , museum is quite big and very interesting.

What a very humble experience, tearful at times, especially at the film showing of a young man and his brothers diary. Definitely worth a visit! 200 yen each entry

It is so emotionally here, it contains debris, news and effect from the occasion, explaining how hard people survived the bomb. The war is not what we want but peace. The entrance fee is 200 yen. There are many dangerous and inappropriate images for children. It is a really important place to visit in Hiroshima.

Perhaps it's not the greatest museum I have ever been to, but easily the most moving and important. Thank you for telling these stories Hiroshima. I will never forget my time here. Your strength, endurance and quest for peace are noble and I applaud you.

This museum is incredible. So touching learning and seeing the painting and them explaining exactly what happened on that day. Also all the exhibits they have for us to see was very touching. It had people very emotional and even crying . Highly recommend this memorial museum.

The museum is located in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The museum documents everything that is related to the dropping of the "Little Boy" atomic fission bomb on the 6th August 1945. The museum stands as a solemn statement of the resulting tragedy from nuclear warfare. A similar museum is located in Nagasaki, which was the second Japanese city to be bomb.

I enjoyed the museum and the importance of preserving the history of what happened to this city. You can tell even to this day Hiroshima is greatly effected by the horrific past and the museum does a great job of telling the story. Unfortunately it is incredibly crowded and difficult to move in some parts and takes a very long time to try and see every exhibition. Google even said I was there at a time with very low crowd numbers so I can't imagine what it is like with high numbers. I don't kno what the museum can do to solve this but it definitely made me uncomfortable and the only thing I could fault for the museum.

怒りの広島の意味が良くわかった❗

日本人なら、いや人である以上訪れるべし。 何も感じんなんて、ありえない。 みなさん、心に刻んで下さい。

原爆がいかに悲惨な状況となるのか、 テレビやドラマ等で知っていたつもりでも、 初めて知った残酷な事象も学べました。 アメリカが行った残酷な行為を伝えていく べきです。

色々な方の最後を目の当たりにし、胸が苦しく切なくなりました。しかし、目をそらしてはいけないと感じました。

改装され、更に良くなったと思います。

コロナで入るのが大変ですが、中でもちゃんところな対策ほしいですねぇ。

日本に生まれた人、住む人、関わりの有る人、興味の有る人、もれなく訪れてほしい場所です。

Мемориальный музей мира в Хиросиме расположен в Мемориальном парке Мира. Здания построены знаменитым японским мастером Кэндзо Тангэ. Музей представляет собой комплекс из двух корпусов — Главного и Восточного. В Главном корпусе находится экспозиции, связанные с атомной бомбардировкой Японии. Очень тяжело обходить залы. Страшная трагедия. Великие люди, которые смогли все восстановить. Возвращаясь к экспозициям необходимо сказать, что вместе с реальными экспонатами, очень много мультимедийных интерактивных материалов. Все это гармонично связано в единую композицию. Обязательно остановитесь в виртуальной реконструкции сброса ядерной бомбы и последовавшего удара взрывной волны. Экспозиция Восточного зала посвящена предпосылкам атомной бомбардировки, участию Японии во Второй мировой войне, общей информации о Ядерном веке — изображения, модели, фотографии. По данным с сайтов - посещение Мемориального парка Мира и музея в Хиросиме входит в школьную программу Японии. 5 июля 2006 года здание Главного корпуса Мемориального музея Мира мира было внесено в список Культурных ценностей Японии.

ようやくここの場所に行くことが出来ました。広島は以前にも訪れたことがありますがこのドームへは、初めてで大変に感動しました。全館は予約無しでは観覧できませんでしたがこのような様を無にする事が無いように心底思いました。娘家族に感謝しなければいけないような素敵な旅でした。ありがとうございます。

この地を訪れたなら、訪問せずには居られない。秋晴れの穏やかな陽気の中訪れたが、中の展示物に触れたら、凄惨さにおし黙ってしまう。時々訪れ、平和の有難さ、意味を再確認する必要がある。

已经是第2次去广岛了，很喜欢那个温暖平和的小城。

Great museum about Hiroshima a-bomb. Very cheap and worth the visit.

日本人なら一度は行くべき。平和とは何か考えさせられた。

広島の人びとの犠牲上に今の日本の平和があること、忘れてはならない‼️

子供が8月6日生まれでずっと来てみたかったのですか、やっとこれました。被爆75周年とのことで、事前に原爆や広島に関する本も読んできて良かったです。平和の祈りも捧げられました。

生存者の方かだの絵 写真より真実を伝える力がある。

2.5 工事中なので本来の姿ではない

広島駅南口から広電(路面電車)に乗り、約15分程です。原爆ドーム前で降ります(190円)。降りたら原爆ドーム(現在、外壁のメンテナンス中)の横を通り、川沿いに南に5分ほど歩けば平和記念資料館です。 資料館の入場料は200円です。

悲しく辛い現実でした。 とても勉強になります。

忘れては、ならない。

事前予約制で館内混んでなくて原爆の悲劇がよみがえるところ 後世も平和な世の中で

(Translated by Google) Sad but interesting (Original) Triste, porém interessante

色々と考えさせられました。 資料としては当時の衣類が多かったイメージです。

二回目ですが、毎回、胸が傷みます‼️(/ー￣;)

(Translated by Google) This is a place to visit once (Original) ここは一度は訪れるべきところ

(Translated by Google) A museum displaying valuable materials that convey the misery of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. If you are Japanese, you should watch it once. I think the role of this museum is very important as the A-bomb survivors are aging and there are no more opportunities to come into contact with live voices. We must pass on the negative legacy of humankind without weathering it. The design of the museum is Kenzo Tange, which has been designated as a national important cultural property as one of the representative buildings of modern Japanese architecture. (Original) 広島に投下された原子爆弾の悲惨さを今に伝える貴重な資料が展示されている資料館。日本人なら一度は直に観るべき内容です。被爆者の方々の高齢化がますます進み、生の声に触れる機会がなくなっていく中、この資料館の役割は非常に重要だと思います。人類の負の遺産を風化させることなく語り継いでいかなければなりません。 なお資料館の設計は丹下健三、日本近代建築を代表する建物の１つとして国の重要文化財にも指定されています。

原爆ドームは足場を組んで工事中

(Translated by Google) it's the best! (Original) 最高です！

i visited during golden week and it was so crowded it was impossible to really get anything out of the visit. we waited an hour and a half to get in, and once inside we were crammed in so tight i could not move side to side to see all of the exhibits. it was also blisteringly hot inside and when we finally managed to get out, there were ambulances outside. that said, the museum is newly renovated and i do want to come back when its less busy so i can get the full experience of the history presented there. its a very important place with very important lessons and deserves a second chance.

Unfortunately because of covid, entrance was not allowed. It is quite a place to learn the horrors of atomic bomb / nuclear attack.

don't forget the museum stamp :)

アメリカの非人道な戦争犯罪を後世に残す資料館です。

(Translated by Google) Sad, but "beautiful" museum to understand the horror of Hiroshima (Original) Triste, mais "beau" musée pour comprendre l'horreur d'Hiroshima

(Translated by Google) Visited October 2, 2020 Atomic bomb. In spending a busy daily life I felt like it was a world different from my own.

(Translated by Google) Japanese people should visit here at least once every 10 years. I'm neither right nor left. However I have a right-wing way of thinking, and I also have a left-wing way of thinking. In other words, this is normal. If the kamikaze corps reads a letter addressed to their family and lover, they can cry regardless of whether they are right or left. (Original) 日本人なら最低でも10年に一度はここを訪れるべきだ。 俺は右翼でもなければ左翼でもない。 しかし 右翼的な考え方も持ち合わせているし、左翼的な考え方も持ち合わせている。 つまりこれが普通なんだろう。 特攻隊が家族や恋人に宛てた手紙を読めば右翼も左翼も関係なく泣ける。

(Translated by Google) The suffering, sorrow, and voiceless voices of many people who were victims of the atomic bomb seemed to be transmitted through the photographs and relics of the time, which made my heart ache. I would like everyone to come and feel the misery of the war. (Original) 原爆で犠牲になった多くの人々の苦しみや哀しみ、声なき声が、当時の写真や遺品等を通して伝わって来るようで、とても胸が痛みました。皆さんにも是非訪れて、戦争の悲惨さを感じて欲しいです。

If you could visit only one place in Hiroshima - it absolutely has to be the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I recommend observing the park outside with its varied statues and memorials early in the morning prior to the opening of the museum. When you do visit the museum - try to procure an audio guide device (costs a few hundred yen) - it enriches the whole experience. I'd recommend allotting 2.5-3 hours to exploring the museum. It was an incredibly memorable and moving experience - a part of world history unfolds before you.

It's am experience that will be personal to each person. I loved it but it hits as hard and deep as you can take. Leave at least an hour and a half to walk around. I seriously recommend renting the audio guide at the front desk, but it will make the experience hit even harder.

I appreciate the Hiroshima peace memorial museum. Institute of performing art and mind power development admires the documentation of WWII atomic-bomb blast in Hiroshima. The exhibits are awesome. The artifacts are breathtaking. The talks are truly inspiring.

Great work inside the museum to display what needs to be. Instrucful information as well

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in 7 years. I learned something. Peace is number one (Original) 7年ぶりに訪れた。 勉強になった。 平和が1番

(Translated by Google) A place you want to see with a margin of about 2 hours. We recommend that you go around while listening to the optional voice guidance. I would like to continue to talk about the misery of the war and the horror of the atomic bomb. (Original) 2時間位の余裕を持って観たい所。 オプションの音声案内を聞きながら廻ることをお勧めします。 これからも戦争の悲惨さ、原爆の恐ろしさは語り継いでいきたいですね。

(Translated by Google) Every time I walked through the hall, sadness spilled from my eyes.

(Translated by Google) As of 2/14, numbered tickets will be distributed, but you can enter on the day. The facility is clean, but the content is quite heavy. (Original) 2/14現在は整理券が配られるけど当日入館可。施設はキレイになったが、内容はけっこう重いです。

(Translated by Google) A museum about the atomic bomb, built in the Peace Park adjacent to the Atomic Bomb Dome. The admission fee was 200 yen. However, it is far more than 200 yen. By lowering the price, I can feel the desire to be seen by many people. Many of the exhibits are focused on specific individuals, and the symptoms and when they died after the bombing are vividly explained with photographs. Of course, I know how many people died, but I didn't have much chance to know "how" they died, so if you have only vague knowledge about the damage caused by the atomic bomb, please come visit us. I felt that I wanted it. Perhaps most of the people who come here will walk in the Peace Park after seeing the Atomic Bomb Dome, but the exhibits in the hall are explained vividly, and it is mentally reading while standing. I'm pretty tired when I come. And I was so tight that I couldn't feel like going sightseeing and having fun. If you want to go sightseeing in Hiroshima city for a day, it may be better to visit the end of the afternoon rather than the morning. I couldn't find any indication of shooting NG in the hall, so it seems that it is not prohibited, but I didn't feel like shooting from one end, though not very much. So I will shoot only the minimum distant view and keep it in my memory. (Original) 原爆ドームに隣接する平和公園内に建てられた、原爆に関する資料館です。 入館料は200円でした。しかし200円の内容をはるかに超えています。値段を安くすることで、多くの人の目に触れてほしい、という思いがひしひしと伝わってきます。 展示は特定の個人に焦点を当てられたものが結構多くて、被爆した後どのような症状が出て、いついつ亡くなったということが、写真も交えながら生々しく説明されています。 どれくらいの方が亡くなったとかいうことは当然知識としてありますが、「どのように」亡くなったというのはあまり知る機会がなかったので、原爆の被害について漠然とした知識しかないような方は是非訪れてみてほしいと感じました。 おそらくここへ来る人の多くは、原爆ドームを見た後に平和公園内を歩いてくると思われますが、館内の展示は生々しく説明されていて、立ったまま読んでいると精神的にも参ってきてかなり疲れます。 そして胸を締めつけられて、その後観光して楽しもうという気分には到底なれませんでした。 広島市内で一日観光しよう・・・という場合は、朝イチに来るよりは午後からにして最後の方に訪れる方がいいかもしれません。 なお館内には撮影ＮＧの表示は見当たらなかったので、禁止されてはいないっぽいのですが、とてもじゃないが片っ端から撮影するような気分になれなかったです。 なので最低限の遠景のみ撮影して記憶に残しておくことにします。

(Translated by Google) You can feel the sacred place of peace. I just wish for world peace. (Original) 平和の聖地、実感できます。 世界平和、願うばかりです。

(Translated by Google) Although I left the site very hurt, it is a site where the before and after of August 6, 1945 are recounted. I think it is a must for any visitor to or from the city of Hiroshima. (Original) Si bien salí del predio muy dolido, es un predio donde se relata el antes y el después del 6 de Agosto de 1945. Creo es visita obligada para cualquier visitante de oa ciudad de Hiroshima.

(Translated by Google) It is difficult to imagine the enormous destructive potential of an atomic bomb ... Terrible to think that two atomic bombs were dropped on two cities whose inhabitants were preparing to carry out the daily activities of hot August days. The museum of peace, through the remains of the objects it holds, with tears held back with difficulty, transmits a deep sense of sadness and at the same time gives, at least in part, a real perception of what happened. (Original) Difficile immaginare l'enorme potenziale distruttivo di una bomba atomica... Terribile pensare che due bombe atomiche siano state sganciate su due città i cui abitanti si accingevano a svolgere le quotidiane attività di calde giornate d'agosto. Il museo della pace, attraverso i resti degli oggetti che custodisce, con lacrime trattenute a fatica, trasmette un profondo senso di tristezza e al tempo stesso da', almeno in parte, una reale percezione di quanto accaduto.

小学校の修学旅行で見学。その次に大学生の頃にサークル仲間と訪れて、今回で3回目です。 展示内容がガラッと変わっていました。以前あった蝋人形は無くなったのですね。 過去2回は、あまり時間が無くゆっくり見学できませんでしたが、今回は全ての展示物を時間をかけて見ることができました。涙無しには見られません。 核兵器はこの世に必要ない。改めてそう思いました。 世界中の方にこの施設を見学していただきたいです。

Landmarks of Hiroshima prefecture that everyone must visit while traveling here. The Dioramas of happened tragedy of nuclear bomb when world war 2 was perfectly explained. The tragic n humanity situation was very touching our deep condolences.

Full of heartbreaking stories, imagery and stuffs from the rubble. There’s a warning about graphic content as well.

Beautiful park. Spent a good couple hours checking all the different spots around the park. Very nice flow and easy to walk around. The weather was great and we had a great experience while visiting.

Very important to keep in mind how good decisions need to be made in life, how many people lost their lifes because somebody wanted to try the effects of the bomb More than 140.000 ppl by the end of 1945

Wish I could take more photos for memories but that would be disrespectful. This is one of the most powerful and moving museums I have been to, I highly suggest when you get to the dark room that you take your time with each piece. This museum makes you connect with those who were lost, those who survived and those who continued on. I've never felt so close to tears from a museum, but here we are.

My visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum made me realize how severe is the after-effects of an atomic bomb. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is one of the quietest museums I have ever been. The museum aims to convey the reality of the damage incurred by an atomic bomb to people around the world. The museum itself is not huge but it is very cozy and well-laid out. It has many informative exhibits and they are very well presented with a description of each exhibit. The exhibits include photographs of the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, materials that were recovered after the bombing, items that were exposed to the bomb, and stories of survivors of Hiroshima.

A truly remarkable testament to the strength and perseverance of the people of Hiroshima. This museum will pull at heart-strings but it's also a great reminder that we as a human race are capable of anything both good and bad. World leaders should visit here often so that they will never allow history to repeat such pain and suffering.

This place is such an incredible experience. The amount of story and retained artifacts from the tragedy is overwhelming. It's honestly really hard to walk through it while looking at everything individually. You can rent an audio set where you punch in the number of the exhibit you're in and it tells you the context of the exhibit. It's also interesting to see the historical narrative built up around the blast. Its clear that the narrative is Japanese. Definitely an experience I won't forget.

You can see belongings left by the victims, photos, and other materials that convey the horror of atomic bomb. There are several impact of atomic bomb to human and environment due to radiation, fire, and explotion that affect directly and years after. What a catastrophic effect.

I am grateful that the G7 summit was held and ended successfully. I believe that the visit of the leaders of each country to the Peace Memorial Museum is a step towards peace.

It is nice place to visit to get a closer and deeper understanding of the Hiroshima bombing. The park is beautiful and you can see lots more.

Sobering place to visit. Well designed museum that brings home the horrors of the bomb. Extremely busy. A place for reflection and shock

The museum has collected and displayed belongings left by the victims. Also photos and other materials that convey the horror of the event. It’s also supplemented by exhibits that describe Hiroshima before and after the bombing.

A very good memorial, worth the time to visit. It depicts the horrors of war that you normally don't see at memorials. I think it is important to note that it is viewed through the Japanese lens. I had a conversation with my Japanese tour guide about justification of the bomb. I told him I would not try to justify the vaporization of the local population. An important point he needed to remember, that if the Pearl Habor attack had not happened, Hiroshima bombing would not had happened. Actions have consequences.

The Hiroshima Memorial is a profoundly moving and thought-provoking tribute to the tragic events that unfolded during World War II. The somber atmosphere and well-maintained grounds create a respectful space for visitors to reflect on the devastating impact of the atomic bomb on this city and its people. The museum's exhibits provide a detailed and emotionally charged account of the bombing, chronicling the human suffering and the lasting effects on survivors and their families. The artifacts on display, including personal belongings and testimonies, offer a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of striving for peace. The Memorial's design, with its solemn cenotaph and the Peace Flame that will burn until nuclear weapons are abolished, is a powerful symbol of hope and a plea for a world free from such catastrophic devastation. Visitors are encouraged to contemplate the consequences of violence and the importance of promoting global peace and understanding. Overall, the Hiroshima Memorial is an essential destination for those seeking a deeper understanding of history and a profound experience that urges us all to work towards a future of harmony and cooperation among nations.

Definitely an emotional experience. Give yourself plenty of time to walk through & view each exhibit. Very memorable experience during our trip to Japan at this memorial museum.

Hiroshima was the highlight of a two weeks Japan exploration. Beside the other landmarks related to the August 6th 1945 Atomic Bomb, the museum shows you closer the horrific repercussions of an atomic bomb. It is a warning for all humanity, something to never happen again. Don't get discouraged by the long line at the entrance, it is very well organized and moves pretty fast. The access fee is 200 yen, a small token to pay for such a strong and unique experience. If you get to Hiroshima, you must visit this museum.

for everyone who likes to keep in touch with history especially those involved i. world war 2, this is one of the recommended places to visit in japan. esp when you have elementary/high school children who needs to have an on hand/real exposure. this is also a way of “hearing 2 sides of a coin.”

Just visit. So good and informative. From the bomb being dropped, victims and their injuries to info about how the bomb was made and why it was used. How the US planned it by picking cities and also some about Nagasaki bomb. Learned a lot of things visiting this museum. Spent about 2 hours here because it's so interesting to read everything. Great pictures and illustrations and everything is in English.

Ok. There is the original museum pavilion that's above ground with an open air breezeway beneath. They added additional museum space to the right, connecting the the earlier space. In essence, you enter right before August 6th, 1945. You immediately are shown a view of Hiroshima and dropping of the bomb. You then spend the next few hours snaking your way through darkened rooms that track the moment, days, weeks, months, and years after the attack and how it affected the people involved. You see artifacts donates by families of the victims or direct witnesses. No one speaks, everyone moves slowly, in a somber mood. Then you break into the return hallway that's white stone and large windows overlooking the park. Upon returning to the newer addition, you see exhibits on nuclear weapons and disarmament. You also go past exhibits about the growth of Hiroshima and history. Lastly, you return to the 1st floor and the rotating exhibit space that highlights one aspect of the attack.

If you come to Hiroshima, you can't miss this sightseeing spot. You can see the truth of the sad history. This is a place that makes you realize that this is not a movie, but a fact that actually happened. It is a little regrettable that compared to the past, the displays are now mainly photographs and the wax figures of the hibakusha are gone. Small children should be careful as they may be traumatized.

Without a doubt THE must see and visit place in Hiroshima. This beautiful museum shows what happened on August 6 1945 in detail and it shows the aftermath of the atom bomb drop over Hiroshima. It tells the story of the people who died and survived the bombing and what happened to Hiroshima after 1945. Best tip: try to go early in the morning at opening time to avoid the big crowds and then stroll through the park after the museum visit.

Next to the ticket counter, there are volunteer guides in green jackets ready to take you on private tours through Peace Memorial Park. I did the Japanese language tour and was left deeply impressed by the stories she told me. At the end, she refused to take my tip, but instead encouraged me to take actions against the current global situations to end the war and developments of atomic bombs. Made my trip to Hiroshima all worthwhile.

Found the museum incredibly moving. Afterwards we took a free tour of the Peace Boulevard and Kay our English speaking tour guide was absolutely amazing. Learnt so much about the event and Japanese culture. 5 Star experience.
