Hiroshima - day 2, part 2

We crossed the bridge to view the A bomb dome which remains preserved as it was after the bomb fell at 8.15am on 6th August 1945. The other sights included a couple more museums which described the story of individuals caught up in the events on that day.

We walked on and passed the spot, 600m above which the bomb was detonated.

Next up, after a further walk was Hiroshima castle, which was rebuilt following the bomb.
