Peace Memorial Park

Peace Memorial Park

 

This park was established at this location for reasons given below:

1.     1. This area is close to the hypocenter where a large number of people perished around here.

2.     2. Located between two rivers, this area was deemed suitable for a water front park.

With the A-bomb Dome on the northern top of this triangular-shaped park, the Flame of Peace, the Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace (the A-bomb Memorial Cenotaph), the Peace Memorial Museum, and the Fountain of Prayer are symmetrically laid out in a line from north to south.
