I needed to start from this city. Hiroshima is famous as the city that had the first atomic bomb's sacrifice. And, the heart to pray the peace of the world is still living in people in Hiroshima. Hiroshima will continue in it's mission to abolish nuclear weapons, and achieve everlasting world peace. My wife, and I were born in Hiroshima. We don't know the miserable experiences of the world war 2 of both countries that are USA and Japan though , we will tell the importance of the peace, and the necessity to avoid the meaningless wars towards our son's generation. Hiroshima is located in Southwest of Honsho Island. Population is around 1 million. It is a mid size city in Japan. Down town area is crowded, and has a lot of shopping centers, restaurants. In down town area, you can visit Peace Memorial Park and The Atomic Bomb Dome that registered as World Heritage Site in 1996. You can also visit Hiroshima Castle that locates in down town Hiroshima.
