Exploring the Streets of Hiroshima City

[@Scriptor13]

I love these walking tours, Shinichi--they're always fun, beautiful, and informative. The Peace Park segment was very moving.❤️ Thank you.

[@gardengalsu]

You're right, Shinichi, if we don't acknowledge the hard, unpleasant things, we are bound to repeat them. Thank you.

[@SloganMotion]

I was in Hiroshima nearly two years ago... It seems like just yesterday. I loved Hiroshima more than Osaka and Tokyo combined... something honest and humble about the city. People sharing in cultural suffering, and the city stands defiant among the tragedy that occurred there. Proving that life will continue in the face of horror. I had a great time there. I visited the birthplace of the Kendama!

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Shinichi, thank you taking this walk through Hiroshima. It's nice to know that Hiroshima still has those trams. Don't apologize for where you take us. If you should back to Nagasaki, take us to the Peace Park there as well. I've been to the one in Hiroshima twice, so I always wondered about the one in Nagasaki. Before anyone asks. Yes, I have been to Arizona Memorial. I live in Hawaii. Lives lost are lives lost no matter what country you are from. It will always be somber. For every life lost, there are family and friends who miss them. For some, family we will never meet.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha Shinichi! Thank you! Loved walking along with you!

[@ucdchris]

I lived in Hiroshima 18 years ago and haven’t been back to visit in a long time. Thank you so much for all the Hiroshima area videos! I’ve enjoyed watching them so much.

[@aeykansinee--2924]

I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

[@franklai2]

My wife & I were fortunate to visit Hiroshima just before covid-19 outbreak. We really enjoyed our visit to Peace Park, the Atomic Dome etc. For me it was a very moving experience, somewhat sad. Unfortunately we never had the chance to explore the streets & shopping arcades, although we did manage to spend some time on Mayajima Island., the Torri gate was covered up for restoration.. An unforgettable exoerience. A great video!

[@shannondore]

Lovely walk through a lovely city. Thanks!😊

[@acorrin8039]

本通り！Hiroshima is one of my favorite cities. もみじ饅頭 、広島の牡蠣 and 広島のお好み焼きbrings back memories. Let’s Go Carp!

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

The only building still standing that survived the atomic bomb in this area.. I started crying when you got to the bridge. My emotions of our trip to Hiroshima in Sept 2018 are still strong. I didn't have dry eyes in theis area, and when the school kids were singing.. And, the peace bell.. When we got outside of this area, where the shopping archades are and in the city.. It really hit me... It's a very intense feeling, for sure. Hiroshima was a wonderful place to visit.

[@stormblaz82]

Cutest shirt ever, love the positive attitude and the cheerful love! Great vlogs, keep them coming 👍🏻

[@victoriamyung7029]

I really love these videos. It really does feel like I’m right there, walking along side you.

[@NinaMaru49]

I looovvee your walking tours.. Thanks for taking us along!

[@lynnkihara2323]

Glad you took the time to show the city. I blew through the city on the way to Miyagima island and didn't get a chance to explore. Also, you don't have to look for something "interesting" just exploring is fun!

[@marivicbalayo1791]

This is great work. Showing around us in Hiroshima place is very interesting. Keep it up and stay safe ❤️

[@JeanieHan]

Great video. Love your walking tours.

[@laurawalker4675]

I always enjoy your chill walking videos!! Thank you!

[@debracantrell1058]

Hi Shinichi how you doing good to see yes l ready for this walk through City 🏙️ awesome view thanks for sharing this video and Walk

[@alphakub]

Loved our brief visit to Hiroshima. Very authentic Mexican food at Graffity restaurant near Fukuromachi Park near Peace Blvd.

[@micheles5431]

Thankyou shinichi. loved this walk

[@skeletorama1916]

I love watching your older videos while I work, like you are keeping me company while I am stuck doing boring things. I am an American that was born in Tokyo (Tachikawa), grew up in Japan (left at 9 yrs old), and I visited Hiroshima in the late 70's. 40 yrs later and it still makes my soul hurt to see that dome, and the museum will change you forever... I can still see the diorama at the beginning where ppl are fleeing the blast, permanently etched in my memory. Glad the cranes are still there, but I remember a tree full of them as well. (Maybe it was for an event, or I was much shorter and saw the children's memorial differently, but I remember a huge dead tree on the site near the dome with thousands of cranes that made it look like a willow tree....folding them for the memorial is how I remember how to do it flawlessly, even at 51 yrs o!d.) And don't feel bad about crying, I am too as I type this, but it is important to remember how horrible the reality of nuclear war is. Definitely don't miss if you go to Hiroshima, it will hurt, but it should. Thank you for this. Love to you and Satoshi

[@perdomot]

Man, I love this video and hope you do more like them Shinichi. Shotengai and other shopping areas don't get enough love on KZbin. Most KZbinrs want to show mostly temples, parks and empty back alleys. I think the stores in Japan are some of the most interesting and creative places where you can see stuff found no where else. Got really excited when you mentioned Andersen because one of the first places I go to get some food when I arrive in Tokyo is the Andersen inside Ueno station. Never miss going there.

[@hutch0828]

Love the videos Shinichi. Thanks for giving us a virtual tour. It’s been very therapeutic to watch your travels and forget about the current state of the world. Looking forward to visiting Japan again very soon and enjoying everything it has to offer. Stay safe!

[@randolph5401]

It's great watching the walking tours as it feels like we are on holiday too which is great since we can't actually travel anywhere right now!

[@geefull]

Thank you Shinichi.

[@SM-tw5vp]

I miss Hiroshima. Thanks for taking us around . Will visit the city back when we can travel again.

[@karmesindryade]

That's not a stain on your camera lens. It is a small ghost sitting there - a protective spirit which is accompanying you throughout this video to show you that life is never perfect but still full of joy and happiness. Embrace the unexpected whenever it comes to you... 💖 Thank you so much for these walking videos - they mean so much to me during these time when I can not make these walks myself. Please continue with them. Especially those backside and sideways views are so interesting - unlike the often boring videos which show only the touristic sites your videos make me feel like I am really there. And also thank you for sharing the historical monuments of Hiroshima which remind us to never forget what happened and to hopefully learn for the future.

[@thrranger1983]

Yup..I'm tearing up... Ohh I love roses..so beautiful. Such a lovely monument. And now I'm crying... Thank you for sharing.

[@elsieoh]

I so enjoyed watching this and the other Hiroshima/Miyajima videos, Shinichi-san. My family and I were in Hiroshima in Dec 2019 and it was the last time we went any place, haha. Hiroshima holds a special place in my heart, especially after our visit to the Peace Memorial Museum. We walked around Hondori a few times but as it was quite a long "alley", we never really got to explore everything there was to see. Thank you for bringing me back there. Hopefully, when all this is over, we will go back to Hiroshima again.

[@Shinichisworld]

I do hope things start to get back to normal soon, although I can't see that happening this year......we will see. I look forward to welcoming you back to Japan.

[@marlakicksass]

You really didn't have to go back and spend more money, we really appreciate that you went and did that for us and re take all the footage. Not many youtubers would do that. Thank you Shinichi, I hope you're having a great time. Safe travels 🤗❤

[@Shayla_MOON]

Omg I love this! I’m moving to Hiroshima from Tokyo this weekend ✨

[@Shinichisworld]

Enjoy!

[@StargazerApril]

Thank you for showing us the memorials. I’m crying right now. So many lost lives. It’s important for us to remember the past so that we may never repeat

[@londonpelen9157]

Hi Shinichi how you doing good to see you awesome video thanks stay safe God BLESS to all

[@wengrm6204]

Always looking forward to all your vlogs sinichi… hello from the Philippines😊

[@mochan1357]

I love Hiroshima. I think it is my favorite city in Japan. I enjoyed revisiting places I have walked.

[@flibblesan]

I visited Hiroshima in 2019 and spent a good hour or so sitting on the other side of the river facing the dome, just thinking and taking it all in. Even though there were so many people around it was weirdly quiet and peaceful. I found the whole experience there to be incredibly moving and emotional.

[@roldansalalila6544]

VISITED HIROSHIMA LAST 2018...THE DOME AND THE PEACE PARK...SO WILL TRY TO VISIT AGAIN THIS 2023 TO EXPLORE THE CITY...YOUR VIDEO IS A BIG HELP...WILL VISIT ALSO MIYAJIMA...

[@Shinichisworld]

Enjoy!!!

[@NikkiM93]

This has been bittersweet, thank you for taking us on their tour

[@ross1972]

I love Hiroshima and really miss Japan and so enjoyed your walking tour so much.

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

I like your walking tour videos. It's one way to see the city in these times, safely too. Thank you.

[@Pappadumful]

Hiroshima is a lovely city! Highly recommended

[@ladymurasaki370]

Nice to see the history of Hiroshima. So sad. 💜

[@leestoughton2312]

your walking tour of the Peace Park and the Bomb Dome were amazing and much needed reminder, hoping that never again occurs

[@tomithot261]

Love it when you point the camera in front ... I actually recognized Hon Dori, good memories. Met a homeless guy in the park, and actually think I saw his bench! That was 40 years ago. Thanks, I love walking with you and trying to see places I have been. Keep talking and pointing out places.

[@leinacomeau]

Thank you for this video Shinichi! ☺️❤️ I remember going to the museum and I can relate to the crying all day as well! Even during this video it was hard not to feel heavy-hearted, but you’re sooo right about educating to not repeat history. Really enjoyed it!

[@elangomattab]

Thanks Shinichi for taking the walk to the Peace Memorial Park. I have visited it in virtual reality before but not yet in person. I was wondering if you would show anything from the end of WWII when I heard you were visiting Hiroshima. I would have understood if you didn't film it but I'm glad you did. I'm glad the building is being preserved in it's current state.

[@Aiken47]

I really like walking around videos, I haven’t been to Hiroshima yet so really like to get a feel for a future destination. Do tour coffee is pretty good especially if you really want a coffee

[@robyn_roamz]

I have only managed to visit Japan once before the world shut down. I made sure that I visited Hiroshima and spent the day exploring the area around the A-bomb site. The moment when I wanted to cry the most was at the Children's Memorial where some school children stood singing.

[@SnoogyWoogy]

Hiroshima is such a gorgeous city!

[@gainiq2002]

Visiting Hiroshima is definitely going into my bucket list. Thanks for showing us around, really enjoyed your street walk videos...appreciated ❤️

[@squinugie2091]

Great video. During our trip we were only in Hiroshima 2 nights and got to see Itsukushima Shrine and the Peace Park and museum. Will have to hit the shops next time!

[@peterjake9621]

Hi Shinichi, Liked the Hondori shopping arcades lots to see and do. Thanks for showing us the Peace park and Memorial Museum . If we get the chance to visit Japan 🇯🇵 we will definitely visit Hiroshima a beautiful city.🙏😀👍

[@dianerajkowski1291]

I imagined being there thru the good times and the oh so sad times. The Rose Garden for all to enjoy.. remembering the past learning from it facing and respecting today and hoping towards the future.

[@tuxedoneko9837]

Ty for taking us to the Hiroshima peace park. It is on my bucket list.

[@lust4life555]

Absolutely enjoy this beautiful walk and learning so much about Hiroshima's history and discovering as well the commercial side of Hondori Street. Great video ❤

[@Selloutsatirist]

Shinichi, are you doing a 23-hour intermittent fast with just one meal a day? That's intense. The most intense IF I've ever heard of is 18 hours with 2 meals. I hope you stay healthy.

[@MawzGT]

Shotengai are amazing I wish in canada we had covered streets so we can shop when it's raining

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Great tour! Thank you 😊

[@skadet4476]

I visited Hiroshima in March 2018, and even though only half of the museum was open then, it was an intensely sad and disturbing experience that I feel should be mandatory for everyone, especially those in power (and _especially_ those in power in countries with nuclear weapons). You shouldn't be ashamed for crying, Shinichi, I think we all do when visiting the Peace Memorial Museum - as we should. You're supposed to be sad, it just shows that you realize how horrible it was. I'd say it means you've gotten the message of Hiroshima (and the Peace Park especially): That this should never ever happen again.

[@cvodb]

Watching this I realise I have not seen much of Hiroshima despite having visited twice. Both times I went straight to Miyajima! **puts Hiroshima back on the bucket list**

[@NSW2040]

7:44 Bought an excellent pair of Vans from this 2nd Street store.

[@silindale8011]

Oh my you are at the crepe store that my husband and I tried when we went to Horishima! So glad to see it in your video. It was so tasty, we caught them just before closing!

[@fish_n_chips]

A very thoughtful tour.

[@fresnobear63]

Wow! My family is from there. I had never been to Japan. I would like to go someday. Great video.

[@cantsay]

Love this format!!!☆☆

[@ElSnattlerake]

Thank you Shinichi. I was four years old in 1945 living in New Mexico about 100 miles from Los Alamos where the A-bomb was developed and about 225 miles from White Sands Proving Grounds where it was tested. I have flown model airplanes at Los Alamos and hiked the dunes at White Sands, but I have never been to Japan and am not likely to go at my age. For me, this video spans "living memory" and provided a personal touch from someone I "know" (through watching many of your videos) to round things out from the other end. Hopefully your coverage will help carry that memory forward to younger generations so that lessons from the past will not be forgotten in the future. Perhaps you will take momona Kokeshi's suggestion and also cover Nagasaki?

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job bro

[@Kurenai1819]

It’s always a treat when you are touring a city and taking us with you. As I stated in your prior vlogs, it helps to plan our trip back to some of these cities (when we can return to Japan). I don’t know why Japan being an advance country is so slow with vaccinating the population. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are now providing the vaccine to young people, e.g., students in elementary to high school. I also want to “thank you” for replying to my occasional questions especially since you must receive a lot of comments. BTW, we don’t have the “Ugly Burger” in. Northern California.

[@paulabarton9493]

Hi there thanks for showing this video. It is sad but I feel it is well worth it. I loved the shopping area as well.

[@melodyebogachoff236]

i have been ti but would love to go, i don,t know if ieill get there but i appreciate you showingnit.

[@karenwolf5266]

Bless you, bless you, bless, you.

[@LatinaChef1986]

Is the statue of Sadoku (did I misspell her name) near the Peace Park? I remember reading about her story in fifth grade (1996-1997). We were going to make some paper cranes but for some reason we did not make enough in time to send them to Hiroshima. It was a heartbreaking story about her. War is such an ugly thing. I love your sensitivity, Sinichi. That makes you beautiful. 💖

[@housekat6163]

Im a fan of Dasio. My friend turned me on to that store here in the U.S.

[@DougDennis]

Awesome. I’ve been here several times back in the day. Are you still feeling burn out? Try burdock, sarsaparilla, dandelion teas and those sea grapes

[@angelamapa2529]

Didn't get to visit Hiroshima because back in 2017, the syper typhoon affected the train service. But now thanks to you my list of places to visit has gotten longer so I'll have a lot to do when I finally go :) I rarely drink coffee but I like the hot kinako soy milk at Dotour

[@TheEmpan85]

I find these videos very intresting!! i cried my eyes out when i learnt of the A-Bomb Dome i had no idea such thing existed ! i wanna travel so badly ♥

[@JoshuaTreeGarden]

Nice video 👏👏👍

[@ThatsJeanette]

I have rarely felt such a deep sadness as at the A Bomb Dome. It was a profound experience for me and reminds me every day that something like this must never be allowed to happen again. 😔 But the flair of this city also cast a very special spell on me. I enjoyed there every day and will definitely come back again!🤩

[@peachesto6643]

Bless you

[@allywui4227]

Huge fan of lush skincare here but the soaps not so much. Great video Shinichi!

[@Sakana_Ren]

I am in awe of Japan to keep reminders of the past. I live in the United States of America, where there is a movement called "cancel culture" where people are trying to erase relics of past racism. I feel that we need to take the example of Japan and retain these relics, so that we don't forget. Thank you, Shinichi'san for sharing your trip to Hiroshima with us. Peace. *hearts*

[@lucie442]

Shinichi, where do you live in Japan? I love the walking tours. Will you do more, like in oita, beppu?

[@Craftyfor]

💗

[@scare-d-cat9353]

Many tragedies around many corners. I don't know what to do with. I do know I wish for peace and love.

[@WTN808]

Comment: Part "3" Shinchan no problem with the smudge on the lens...this is a common and simply overlooked...had it happen to me too. Hence, your narrative enhances the video footage and made for a enjoyable walking tour. Note: Maybe you could make a video on "pinning" locations on Apple Maps and then sending to friends. I'm trying to have relative "pin" our Family Haka in Hiroshima so I can find it on my next trip. Regarding you question on the format of our walking tours...I don't mind the length at all as long as you are narrating. It would be another matter if you recorded for just 15 minutes and not said anything. I've some vloggers who say nothing and may embed some text...in my opinion not enjoyable. Keep your current format of walking tours with narration. By the way, you must enjoy walking gauging by the what you cover on your walks...that's the way I like to cover ground. Walk between short station stops...you get to see a lot more interesting sites and probably end up at the next stop at the same time. Thanks! 😻

[@christianhansen3292]

no ugly burger here but looks yummy cheese is good idea for a bun!

[@shampoovta]

"War, huh, good god What is it good for Absolutely nothing, listen to me"

[@MishMashTravels]

I love lush but mainly buy face items and shower gel in a bottle. I agree some of the soaps too melt quickly except the "Honey I Washed the Kids" soap. We also do not have that ugly burger from BK here in America.

[@jessiekline8264]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@pbyguy7059]

No ugly burgers in the US. Somebody please mail me one

[@senyarizui9146]

I know you'd rather have it be a clear video, but it feels oddly like watching a Japanese news show. Where some stuff is blurred and then for some reason other stuff isn't. Enjoyed the video nevertheless.

[@julia-ov4tl]

yippee I made it

[@cathedraldarkness]

Sadly no BK Ugly Burger in my neck of the woods. We have the “hand battered” chicken sandwich. Having tried McD, KFC and BK - BK had the better chicken sandwich imo.

[@perdomot]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are two cities I don't think I could ever visit because of what happened during WWII. I am a proud American but I also love Japan very much and going to the places where blood was spilled between the two countries is too painful. I live on Oahu and have no intention of ever visiting Pearl Harbor.
