Atomic Bomb Dome
The Atomic Bomb Dome is a symbol of peace for the city of Hiroshima. Used originally as a prefectural hall, the dome was blown up during the blast, killing everyone inside.

Your guide will offer you history and explanations, while allowing you to reflect on the tragedy that occurred.
