If you take the time to visit the city of Hiroshima, Japan, we highly recommend that you take the time to pay a visit to the Hiroshima Peace Museum and Memorials in Hiroshima Peace Park. The entire area is dedicated to the destruction of the atomic bomb that caused incomprehensible destruction during World War II.
