Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Admission

The Audio guide is a MUST! It was an unforgettable experience when I visited the museum. During the visit, there was this poignant feeling while listening to the audio guide from every exhibit inside.

It is an impressive and very powerful museum, it has many uncensored photos, real clothing, objects, walls and even drawings made by the victims where you can see what it was like for them, they have recorded interviews with the survivors and there are also talks with their descendants, there is only one in English and I think it is at 1:00 pm so go with time if you want to see it, we arrived a little late and they still let us in hehehe and I think there are free audio guides at the entrance. I recommend it 1000/100, you come out very reflective and impressed by how quickly the city recovered and the resilience of the people, having spent 3 days in Hiroshima and on the last day going to the museum was very impressive because it doesn't seem like an unparalleled tragedy happened there.

The museum is well laid out Black and white are grouped together with colorful artwork, depicting the horrific events of August 1945 and the month after. The free tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, although quite soft spoken at times is hard to hear as we walked through the grounds visiting different monuments throughout the park the message here is that way the world never let this happen again

This is worth the trip. We took the morning train from Osaka and spent the day here. The history, the exhibits and the park are worth the visit. Note that there are lots of school children that are accompanied by teachers to discuss this very difficult topic so it can get a little crowded. If you’re bringing children be prepared for explicit and heartbreaking imagery and very serious conversations.

I booked my ticket to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial on the spot, right outside the entrance. It has dark rooms with bright corridoors, creating a dramatic contrast. Seeing the Dome right after walking through exhibition space gave me chills. The whole park is thoughtfully laid out. Every monument there felt meaningful. It really made me stop and think. If you’re in Hiroshima, you’ve got to see this place.

A place for reflection, atrocities and Hiroshima's reconstruction. The stories are poignant and very violent. Shortly after the entrance there is a dark room showing a short video of August 6, 1945 at 0815 how it all went down.

Very special place to visit, especially seeing people in pain and items afterward atomic blast. Will never forget faces in pain, ruins and people tragedy

Amazing tribute to those who suffered from the bomb attack! Very emotional......took very few pictures....origami cranes have taken on a new meaning for me!

the experience of the bombing of Hiroshima (and Nagasaki) strikes for its indiscriminate brutality and for the lasting effects that reverberated on the population even during the years following that morning in August 1945. Walking through the rooms of the exhibition is a terrible experience: seeing the city of Hiroshima before and after the devastating shock caused by the atomic bomb is chilling and cannot leave you indifferent. Some might say that visiting a concentration camp is more difficult, but that is not the point: here we are faced with one of the most cruel and grim expressions of what human beings can do to their fellow men.

it's a very educational experience inspiring deep conversations about long lasting peace and international relations
