About Hiroshima

Hiroshima is a modern city on Japan's Honshu Island, largely destroyed by an atomic bomb during World War II. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park commemorates the 1945 event. In the park, the ruins of Genbaku Dome are one of the few buildings that was left standing near ground zero. Other prominent sites include Shukkei-en, a formal Japanese garden, and Hiroshima Castle.
