どの国のどんな人にも見て知って貰いたい。 何処でどんな争いでも必ず誰かが犠牲となって、多くの不幸が生まれる事実を、 誰が良いとか悪いとか言い合うのではなく、絶対に戦争は不幸を生み出し、誰にも勝者を生まないと言う事実を、 此の不幸な歴史の事実を絶対に忘れてはならない。況してや放射能の起こす多大な被害と、途方もない苦しみは長く長く消えない事も、 一分の人間の名声とか権力とか間違った思想とかで、何百、何千万の人の命が無駄に奪われる事実も、そして何処のだれでもが同じ大切な命だと この事を忘れてしまったら其れは人間では無くなるのだと、にんげんとは本来人を敬い感謝出来る生き物だから

日本語で改めてコメントします。 広島で生まれて、広島で生活している一人の市民として、あなたに感謝を申し上げます。 この公園は、広島の市民にとって、どこにでもある普通の綺麗な公園です。 でも、この公園が何を意味して、何を後世に残すことになるのかを、全ての広島の市民は知っています。 広島の子供たちは、小学校に行く前から、親や周りの人から原子爆弾で広島がどうなったのかを教えられます。 また、全国から多くの子どもたちが資料館や公園を訪れて、惨劇の跡を学びます。 私たちは、戦争を憎みます。核爆弾を憎みます。 でも、アメリカの方を憎んではいません。 その行為を憎み、人を憎みません。 原子爆弾を投下したエノラゲイの乗員も、その後に放射能の影響で亡くなられたことを私たちは知っています。 彼らも被害者です。 もうこのような悲劇を、二度と繰り返してはいけません。 広島そして長崎を訪れて、その思いを共有する人が多くなれば、少なくともこのような惨劇はなくなると思います。 一人でも多くの方がお越しいただき、同じ思いになってくれることを祈念します。

[@マックス-l9w]

残念ながら殆どのアメリカ人は、原子爆弾で何十万人もの民間人を街ごと吹き飛ばした行為を、平和の為の正義の行為だと思っています。 歴史を教える時に「当時の日本人は野蛮人だから大量にやっつけないと戦いを辞めないから、仕方がなく原子爆弾を落としたのだ」と教えるからです。 そして、日本を支配し、文化を塗り替え、日本人の誇りをへし折ってやったと声高々に後世に伝えるのです。 一部の人間が再生数の為に綺麗な事を言うかも知れませんが、そんな言葉に感傷的になる事を「平和を共に望んでいるのだ」と解釈するのは危険な錯覚だと思います。 確かに、人を憎む必要はありませんが、虐殺行為を美化する事は、平和の祈願とはかけ離れた行為です。

@@XXXtraSize 理想論はそうだと思います。 でも、核を使ってはならないという当たり前のような認識は、戦前のアメリカにも勿論あったはずです。 破壊兵器を自ら作っておいて分からないわけがない。 分かっていながら、非戦闘民を何十万人も虐殺したのはなぜなのか。 ただ平和を語るのは、被害者の美談として聞き心地は良いかもしれませんが、加害者には届かない。 現にアメリカには、原爆は正しかったと思っている輩が少なからずいる。ではなぜそう思うのか？ 軍国主義の核実験のためか、植民地の歴史観からか、白人至上主義か、プロパガンダか？ 一つ覚えに戦争はダメだと唱えるだけじゃ、ウクライナ戦争も北朝鮮のミサイル攻撃も台湾有事の可能性もなくならないと思います。 もっとよく加害者を知ること、知って事前に防ぐことも理想論と同じくらい大事なはずです。

[@tooruirie1378]

核兵器は使ったらいけませんが（核兵器に限らず戦争はしてはいけませんが、古来から時々起こってしまうのも事実です。）、独裁的な核保有国に対抗するには、自らも核兵器をもたないと抑止にはならないと思います。そのことを感じたのがウクライナ侵攻です。ウクライナ国内はさんざん攻撃されても、ロシア国内には核の脅しで大々的に攻撃ができません。

My father is now 86 years old. He was nine years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I repeatedly heard stories that time from my grandparents and mother who were survivors of the atomic bombing. But it wasn't until my father was over 80 that he began to tell us what happened. We can tell without him saying how much it hurt him. My grandfather, who was 31, lost his sight to the light, my mother, who was 6, lost her hair to radiation, and my pregnant grandmother died six months later with her newborn. Yet I have never heard any hatred of Americans from my family. Currently, I live in America. I go to my children's schools, who are also American, and when I give presentations on Japan, I always tell the class about the atomic bomb at the end. This is because I believe it is my duty to tell as many people as possible that the world is at peace so that no one feels the same as my family. The number of A-bomb survivors is decreasing yearly, but I hope we will pass it on and my children will inherit it. Thank you for the wonderful video!

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you very much for sharing your personal history with us, but also for continuing to talk to schools about what happened!

@@TalesFromOurPocketThe Japanese need to stop playing the victim. Japan was a member of the Axis powers along with Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy during World War II. Japan committed many atrocious war crimes in Asia and the Pacific, killing between 12 million and up to 20 million innocent Asians. Japan was just as brutal as Nazi Germany. It occupied many countries in Asia and the Pacific, and now it wanted to take over the Pacific, so it attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, killing many Americans. The U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, to avenge Japan's aggression, I don't defend the atomic bomb, but without the two atomic bombs, Japan's war crimes would have continued and many more Asians and Pacific Islanders would have been slaughtered, raped, and pillaged. I'll say it again: if the Japanese are sincere about apologizing to the victims of WWII, they should stop playing the victim. And Japan should teach people a proper history lesson.

I appreciate that you were able to understand the gravity of the events of the atomic bombing, but I take issue with the idea that the only reason or need to come to Hiroshima is for the peace tourism. I am an American living in Hiroshima, and this city is much, much, much more than the bombing, and there are many more reasons why people all around the world should visit here. It upsets me that Hiroshima is only known to Americans as the city we first bombed. To anyone interested in visiting Hiroshima, I absolutely do think everyone should go and experience the peace tourism AND explore the current life and culture of the city. It has its own unique food and dialect, and the people love to have a good time and are so so friendly. Hiroshima is a combination of its ancient and post-modern past with its present, which makes it so unique and worth coming to.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

I understand your perspective. We just were a little dismayed by how many videos put it in a quick list of 5 or 10 things to do, rather than devote the time we felt was appropriate to the sight.

Thanks for this. Everyone should try to come here, and yes, this really should be the main reason you come. But in case someone is on the fence because of the tragedy of it all, yes you will also find a thriving city, with lots of things to do. We had a guide with us at the peace memorial, and after the gut wrenching tour of the inside, we were outside and some young girls in their school uniforms were gathered, with several of them stepping up to say some words in Japanese. We had earpieces so that the guide could interpret what the little girls said (I can't even type this without crying and it was 3.5 years ago), I completely lost control and had to turn around and walk a few steps away by myself. When I gathered myself, a local man smiled at me. His smile said "thank you for coming and thank you for your tears." It was and is life changing. And then. we had such an enjoyable evening eating okonomiyaki (a MUST) and going to a really great little jazz club (amazingly good, as I'm from the Chicago where we have a lot of great jazz.) The next day we did a day trip to Miyajima with the iconic photo of the Tori gate in the water, and some great scenery after taking a lift up to the top of the mountain. It's just beautiful. My point is - if you don't think you want to experience the sadness, take my word for it that it's important that you do, and yes there are really fun things to do while you're there. Peace.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Yes, you state it perfectly. It is HARD to experience, but important to let yourself feel the history of what happened there. And to do so without bias, if possible. It's so nice someone thanked you for your tears that day. Thank you for sharing your story with us. 😊🌈

I am a Japanese man living in America. I am so glad that my parents did not teach me hatred toward the United States when I was a child. Once my father said to me, the war does not bring anything good to anybody but unhappiness.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Your father sounds like a wise man! 😊

Hello, I came across your channel by coincidence. I'm Japanese living in Dallas TX. I wanted to say "thank you" for sharing this beautiful story and your video. Just thank you!!! Hontoni Arigatoo ❤

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Oh wow, thanks for watching and commenting! I do wish our US curriculums showed more perspectives on wars throughout history. ♥️

[@Andy-gr3ee]

Thank you so much for visiting Hiroshima and showing it to the world ❤ The history of Hiroshima was a really sad and awful. So many people died but I hope they will be the last victims by nuclear weapons in the world.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

We really hope so, too. 🙏🌈

[@somebodythatiusetoknow2027]

It is a very heartbreaking to see the little childrens memorial section, may all those who perished rest in peace ❤

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

It was heartbreaking, indeed. 😔

The rainbow looked like a small appreciation from Hiroshima that you tried to report the sadness of the past war to the world. Hope people will come to Hiroshima by watching this video. Thank you.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

We agree! It was a message. 🌈😊

Thanks for coming to Hiroshima! My own maternal grandmother also experienced the atomic bombing. I was told that it was very tragic. I wonder what happened in this land at that time, and what kind of life there was. Thank you for learning so much from us.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

I think it probably took a long time for trees and grass to grow there again. But nature eventually finds a way! 😊

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you both for beautifully and honestly sharing this story (and for being so open in your experience of it.) Hiroshima is such a wonderful city in so, so many ways, but its people and its story of rebuilding and hope are what make it beautiful beyond compare.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you so much! This was a tough one on many levels, but there's beauty to be found there now - especially if a rainbow decides to come out and play. 😊

Thank you for coming to Hiroshima. Hiroshima is a prayer for peace, a symbol of peace and a lesson that mankind must never again make mistakes caused by nuclear weapons. Thank you for walking together in hope of peace.

My mom was 14 years old when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She never spoke very much about it. My dad was in the Navy and we lived in Japan. I went to the Atomic Bomb Museum in 1978 or 1979. My mom went through the Museum with us and we never talked about it. I often thought about what she experienced as a 14 year old child. Such an innocent child to be burden so much. She passed away in 2009. I wish I would have asked more questions.

Thanks for the great video. As a Japanese, I’m very grateful to you for sharing your experiences in Hiroshima. The tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should never happen again to people of any country. This video is a baton for peace that transcends countries and generations🌈 I wish you all the best of luck on your journey✨

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you! 🌈🌈

[@seeksustainablejapan]

Thanks for doing this wonderful video about peace park in Hiroshima - it's one of many stunning reasons to come for a visit to Hiroshima but certainly not the only reason, I'd love to share more insights with you about other places to go & see if you return again - I've made Hiroshima my home now for more than half my life & there's always new interesting things to discover

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you! We might take you up on that when we pass through again in the future. 😊😊

[@seeksustainablejapan]

Absolutely - look forward to it!

[@world_traveller61]

Thank you for visiting Hiroshima and making this video to share your thoughts. thanks again.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you for watching. 😊

[@longago-igo]

I’m a 25 year resident of Hiroshima (lived two blocks from the museum for 12 years) and agree with a previous comment about ‘only’. Hiroshima is a wonderful city to live and work in and for tourists the pace is more relaxed than other big cities here.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

We agree that Hiroshima is lovely! We don't agree with other travel videos we've seen that list Hiroshima as 1 of 5-10 things to do, as a tourist. We feel that understates the importance the Peace Memorial Park has. We might have to return to make a "happy" video about Hiroshima. 😉❤️

I am a Japanese living in Hiroshima! I am a high school student now. I am very happy that you came to Hiroshima. Thanks for thinking about the devastation that happened in Hiroshima! I hope that as many foreigners as possible will come to Hiroshima and think about the devastation in Hiroshima. I am using the translation function, so the words may sound funny, but please forgive me.

[@mikye8876]

Thank you for visiting the Hiroshima Museum. humans make mistakes，The important thing is that humans should learn from the past and take lessons. But first we have to start by knowing what happened the truth.

[@sandhyapapineau4008]

Your videos typically are very pleasant and soothing for me to watch. I chose to watch this despite knowing the heavy subject matter to bear witness to what I am capable of bearing witness to at this time. I so appreciate that you said "we will cry our way through it" - after the movie Oppenheimer (which I was pleased to see chose to show the nuance of this bombing rather than a rah-rah-rah-we-won vibe), I also feel more compelled to include the difficult chapters of human history in my travels. I have a very young son and to hear your description of the little school boys absolutely broke my heart. I am hopeful that the impact of these museums will compel our kids to do better than we have done.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you so much for watching, despite knowing it was more serious than our other videos. May our children do better, indeed. 🙏

[@OniZombies]

You shot this video beautifully

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thanks!! 😊

[@carlosa7598]

great content. Ive been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and both are different in comparisons and reactions. I pass by the peace park in Nagasaki every time I go there for tea delivery or Western Union to send money back home. love History and Geography and me living in Saga Prefecture i can experience both. Pray for peace to all. Hello from Saga, Japan. originally from Texas(US)

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Hello, American expat! We haven't been to Nagasaki yet, but it's definitely on our list for a future visit. Were curious about how they compare (and will hopefully be a little more prepared, emotionally). 😊 Thanks for watching our video and saying hi!!

[@amandabaker104]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. Your video has a big meaning to me because I know many people in the world think this awful history as a thing which needed to be happened. This fact always makes me sad and disappointed. I don’t know how to describe my feelings, but I feel so grateful for you. And your tears has a very big meaning to me as well. Thank you again…. Thank you for coming.

Really beautiful video! I am adding Hiroshima to the itinerary now. In a few weeks, it will be my first time visiting Japan and I realise that it would be incomplete without Hiroshima. Sure there are a lot of fun stuff to do in Japan, but I am certain this city has a lot to teach us and make us much well-rounded humans.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Your comment is truly why we made this video. Thank you. ❤️ (and enjoy your trip!!)

[@prototypekev1347]

I agree it gave me a very eery feelings when I went to Hiroshima and the museum. So sad the destruction that happened 😢

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

So very sad. 😔

[@marusora._.b]

日本の教育では、広島のように被害にあった事だけではなく、自分の国がした事も教えられます。しっかり反省し戦争を起こさない大切さを学んできました。 自分の国は大事ですが、それと同じように他国の平和も願っています。 アメリカの方が観光するにはお辛い場所であったと思います。私もあなたの涙につられてしまいました。お気持ち感謝いたします。これからも日本を沢山楽しんで下さい✨
