Hiroshima
I decided to visit Hiroshima during the day and stay in Kobe for the night. However, you could do Hiroshima as a day trip from Kyoto no problem if you start early enough.

Upon arrival I stored my backpack in a station locker and headed to the Peace Memorial Park.

This is the A-Bomb Dome. It stands just about under where the atomic bomb went off. The bomb actually exploded about 23 meters above ground. It has been kept exactly as it was found after the explosion. It used to be a bank with a landmark green dome.
You are here...
