An Instantaneous Emotional Connection with Hiroshima, Japan: The Atomic Bomb Dome and Bombing Hypocenter
You must personally make a trip to present-day Hiroshima in order to see the bustling and vibrant city, which at one point in history was utterly destroyed and left in complete ruins by the first ever atomic bombing.
When visiting the now, 'City of Peace' there is an instant internal sentiment that is indescribable, and simply walking through the city's streets will give you chills up and down the spine. Just knowing the past occurrences which caused tragic turmoil will allow for you to make an instantaneous connection with the city and everything that it has to offer.
The famous atomic bomb dome sits valiantly in the heart of Hiroshima's well renowned cityscape which highlights the past, but fails to define its future. This iconic and poignant monument is a historical World Heritage Site, and it deserves to be recognized as it triumphantly stands for the everlasting peace of the now prosperous and ever-lively city. Remembrance of the memories from this historical travesty shall never be forgotten and will always resemble the beating pulse that has never ceased to exist.
A short walk from the A bomb dome lies the very hypocenter of where the atomic bomb struck the earth on August 6, of 1945. Seeing this landmark up close and personal was an extraordinarily surreal moment, and imagining myself standing there on the day of the bombing makes it all the more appreciable. My stomach, nonetheless, filled with wing-fluttering butterflies, as I was standing exactly where 'Little Boy' had landed.
I hope you all enjoyed... happy globe gallivanting my traveling friends!!
