Let all the souls here rest in peace
For we shall not repeat this evil.
Hiroshima is a story of survival and peace. This site of the
most devastating weapon of war is testament to both the repercussions of
imperialist war mongering and to a commitment to peace and eradication of
nuclear weapons. We visited the Peace Memorial Park, which was the ground zero
for the atomic blast. It’s amazing that several buildings survived the blast,
as well as some trees which stand today in the park.

We also visited beautiful Shukkeien Garden, which began in
1620 and was restored to its original design after 1945.
It incorporates all the features of a
traditional Japanese garden.
