Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park This video, titled "Peace Memorial Park," created by "Hiroshima Regional Sightseeing Information Website Hirotabi: Make a Trip to Hiroshima!," introduces "Peace Memorial Park" (平和記念公園) in Nakajima Town (中島町, Nakajimacho), Naka Ward (中区, Nakaku), Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture (広島県, Hiroshimaken) in the Chugoku Region (中国地方, Chugokuchiho) of Japan. Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima Prefecture was made near the hypocenter of the atomic bomb explosion to console the spirits of those who died in the bombing and to pray for eternal world peace. Many visitors, not just from Japan, but from all over the world, come to visit Peace Memorial Park, whose construction finished in 1955 (Showa 30), 10 years after the atomic bomb was dropped. It has become a place to remind ourselves of the terror of the atomic bomb and the importance of peace. This article will introduce information about recommended spots to visit within Peace Memorial Park, as well as famous sites near Peace Memorial Park, tourist information about those nearby sites, and how to best enjoy your trip. The video shows the entire view of Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome (原爆ドーム, Genbakudomu), and the monument. Seeing people silently praying, is enough to compel you to grieve for those lost in the tragedy and pray for world peace. A Look at Peace Memorial Park Photo:Peace Memorial Park Peace Memorial Park is a city park located on the delta where the two rivers of Hiroshima city diverge. It is 122,100 square meters in size and was completed in August 1955. It has no entrance fee, is open year round, and is truly a park that represents Japan. You can see the entire view of the Peace Memorial Park from 0:06 in the video. The park is home to 35 cenotaphs and memorials, as well as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (広島平和記念資料館, Hiroshimakinenshiryokan), the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims (国立広島原爆死没者追悼平和祈念館, Kokuritsuhiroshimagenbakushibotsushatsuitoheiwakinenkan) and the International Conference Center Hiroshima (広島国際会議場, Hiroshimakokusaikaigijo). You can access the Peace Memorial Park by taking a 20-minute train ride from JR Hiroshima Station (JR広島駅, JR Hiroshimaeki) to Atomic Bomb Dome Station (原爆ドーム前駅,Genbakudomumaeeki) on the Hiroshima Electric Railway (Streetcar). There is no parking lot at the park, so we recommend using public transport such as a train or bus when you visit. The Peace Memorial Photo:Atomic Bomb Dome Peace Memorial Park is one of Japan’s most famous tourist destinations, chosen as one of the "Top 100 City Parks in Japan" and the "Top 100 Historical Parks in Japan." The Atomic Bomb Dome, which conveys the terror of the atomic bomb, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The Atomic Bomb Dome used to be the Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall (広島県物産陳列館, Hiroshimakenbussanchinretukan) built in 1915, but was destroyed by the atomic bomb in World War 2. The blast came from right above the building, and so the walls were left standing, and still remain to this day. The Atomic Bomb Dome that can be viewed from the cenotaph for the atomic bomb victims, is a sight that you won't forget. You can view the Atomic Bomb Dome at 0:15 in the video. The Children’s Peace Monument (原爆の子の像,Genbakunokonozo), a bronze statue of a little girl lifting up an origami crane, consoles the spirits of those who lost their lives in the atomic bomb, and calls for peace. There are origami crane booths around the statue, where strings of a thousand origami cranes from all over Japan are laid. You can observe the Statue of Prayer (祈りの像, Inorinozo), a monument built on the 15th anniversary of the end of the war, and the Phoenix Trees Exposed to the Atomic Bomb (被ばくしたアオギリ,Hibakushitaaogiri), which sprouted the following year despite half of its trunk being burned by the atomic bomb from 0:47 in the video. The sound of the Peace Bell (平和の鐘,Heiwanokane), which is rung as a prayer for peace, has been chosen as one of the "100 Soundscapes of Japan." Also, if you can have the tourism volunteer guide show you around the model course inside the park, you can learn in depth about the history and famous areas of the park, making it a popular choice for tourists. You can also take part in the Lantern Float (とうろう流し, Toronagashi) held on the river next to the Atomic Bomb Dome on August 6th. You can feel the emotions of countless people come together as one, as the prayers for peace are reflected on the river. The Lantern Float can be observed from 2:17 in the video. Tourist Spots and Delicious Food Around Peace Memorial Park ©Michio_Matsuoka Modifying A recommended tourist spot near Peace Memorial Park is Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社, Itsukushimajinja), a World Heritage Site and also one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Hiroshima and Japan. The shinden-zukuri style building (a style of architecture used for nobles’ residences during the Heian period) on the sea is popular as a beautiful, instagrammable tourist attraction. After visiting some tourist attractions, enjoy some local Hiroshima dishes! There are many Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurants near Peace Memorial Park.

Hiraizumi, a World Heritage Site in Iwate Prefecture This video, titled "World Heritage Site|Hiraizumi|nippon.com" (世界遺産 平泉 | nippon.com), was released by "nippon.com." It's a video showing the beautiful scenery of Hiraizumi in Iwate Prefecture, which became a World Heritage Site on June 26, 2011. The area including Chuson-ji Temple, where Konjikido, also a World Heritage Site, is located, is a popular spot for tourists. Hiraizumi prospered at the end of the Heian period (794-1185) thanks to the Fujiwara Clan, and many temples and ruins still remain today. The video shares the charms of Hiraizumi, a place where even the renowned Edo period (1603 to 1868) poet Matsuo Basho visited when writing The Narrow Road to the Deep North and wrote a haiku. A Closer Look at Hiraizumi, a World Heritage Site in Iwate Prefecture Photo:The main hall of Chuson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi, Iwate. Hiraizumi is located in the southwestern part of Iwate Prefecture, in the town of Hiraizumi, Nishiwani. In the center of the town, there is the JR Tohoku Main Line Hiraizumi Station, which you can see from 1:51 in the video. In 2011 it became the first world cultural heritage in the Tohoku region under the title "Temples, Gardens and Archaeological Sites Representing the Buddhist Pure Land." Kinkeizan, seen from 1:47 in the video, and Kanjizaio-in Garden from 2:10, have been designated as World Heritage Sites. Motsuji Temple at 0:52 in the video, as well as Amida-do, Fuku-do, and Konjiki-do at Chuson-ji Temple are tourist spots that represent Iwate Prefecture and are visited by many tourists every year. On March 11, 2011 the area faced the Great East Japan Earthquake. As you can see from 3:05 in the video, there was a great deal of damage throughout the Tohoku region, and a tsunami also occurred centered around the Sanriku Coast in the Tohoku region. In June of the same year, Hiraizumi was registered as a World Heritage Site, and it became a beacon of hope for the Tohoku region, encouraging many people and supporting reconstruction efforts. After overcoming many disasters, many temples still stand today, and the sight of them gives people a feeling of hope. Enjoy Sightseeing in Hiraizumi Photo:Takkoku no Iwaya in Hiraizumi, Iwate There are many sightseeing spots in the center of Hiraizumi besides Motsuji and Chuson-ji. The ruins of Muryokoin, the Shirotoridate Ruins, and the Chojagahara Temple Ruins are important spots related to Buddhism, so we definitely recommend checking them out. There are many temples, gardens, and archaeological sites where you can feel the influence and ideals of Pure Land Buddhism. Takkoku no Iwaya is a temple in a rocky area about 10 minutes from Hiraizumi Station, which can be seen from 1:23 in the video. There are many buildings and gardens great for taking Instagram photos, and if you're planning on taking a leisurely tour of the area you'll need reserve an entire day for sightseeing. We also recommend using the Hiraizumi "Runrun" Loop Bus for sightseeing, as it's incredibly convenient. From the station, the bus will go around Motsuji Temple, Chuson-ji Temple, Muryokoin, Hiraizumi Cultural Heritage Center, the roadside station, and more. A single use is ¥150, but if you buy a day pass for ¥450 you can use it for the entire day as much as you want. Summary of Hiraizumi, a World Heritage Site in Iwate Prefecture Photo:Chuson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi, Iwate This article introduced Hiraizumi, a place in Iwate Prefecture designated a World Heritage Site in 2011. Hiraizumi is a place in Iwate where you can feel the history of Japan's Tohoku region. There are also many restaurants around the station where you can enjoy delicious gourmet food. There's also "Yukyu-no-Yu" (悠久の湯平泉温泉) a hot spring in Hiraizumi about 10 minutes from the station, so consider stopping by to relax before heading home after a long day of sightseeing in the area. Watching this video before visiting Hiraizumi will help you to understand the history of not only Hiraizumi, but the history of Iwate Prefecture as a whole, and you'll be able to appreciate your trip even more. 【Official Website】World Heritage Hiraizumi|HiraizumiNavi – Hiraizumi Tourism Association https://hiraizumi.or.jp/en/index.html 【Tripadvisor】Hiraizumi-cho https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g1120431-Hiraizumi_cho_Nishiiwai_gun_Iwate_Prefecture_Tohoku-Vacations.html -
