This park was created to express the need for everlasting peace. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park honors the victims of the world's first nuclear attack in August 1945. The park is located at the epicenter of the blast in what was once the heart of the city. The park incorporates a variety of significant monuments, memorials, and museums relating to the events of that destructive day and its aftereffects. It attracts more than a million visitors each year. The best way to explore this place is to go with a guide who can tell you the details of the tragedy and how wars are nothing but the destruction of humanity.
The purpose of the Peace Memorial Park is to not only to honor the victims but also to make us understand how important it is to maintain peace in this world.
