A cute motorboat circulating the vast historical area.The bridge that leads to the A-Bomb Dome.The city, the waters, and the dome.This is the Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students.The fountain behind the A-Bomb Dome.The A-Bomb Dome is a tangible link to Hiroshima’s unique past.
The A-Bomb Dome has undergone two minor preservation projects to stabilize the ruin.The A-Bomb Dome stands almost exactly as it did after the bombing on August 6, 1945.
There were just few minor changes made to the ruins but they try hard to retain the original form after the bombing. Behind the dome were some supporting structures to help the walls stand in case of earthquakes.
When the bomb exploded, it was one of the few buildings to remain standing.
The original building before the bomb explosion.
Changes to the ruins, meant to ensure the stability of the structure, have been minimal.In December 1996, the A-Bomb Dome was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List based on the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.Because the atomic bomb exploded almost directly overhead, the building was able to retain its shape.The trees looked so fluffy I would want to hug them so tightly.
That was really a harsh, heart-breaking experience they had in 1945. I pray it won’t happen again anywhere in the future.
