Not much that must be said about this day. We visit the Peace Park located below ground zero of the blast. The famous bomb ruin along with the rebuilt three road target bridge lie next to one another.
These are peace cranes. A small girl who survived the blast developed leukemia before she was ten. She passed away from it but not before making thousands of peace cranes hoping it would bring her a cure. Today people bring peace cranes by the thousands.
This is the statue raised in her honor. Before it a school class paying homage. Every school class in Japan must visit this place once a year.
The infamous surviving building of ground zero.
Hiroshima is now a huge thriving city.
