This Is Why You MUST VISIT Hiroshima | Top Attractions In The City of Peace

Hiroshima is a very important place to visit in Japan. Most people know that it was here that the first atomic bomb was dropped in WWII creating unimaginable devastation. Decades later, Hiroshima has now rebuilt and become a beacon of hope and education towards abolishing nuclear weapons. While of course the main reason to visit this city is to pay your respects to the victims of this tragedy and visit all the exhibits of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, there is also many other things to see and do. Join me as I tour around the city seeing some of the other attractions on offer, tasting some amazing local food and seeing how Hiroshima has transformed since the last time I was here! xx

Great video on Hiroshima and you really make great points. It's a reminder of the horrors of not just war but what a person can cause. Another thing I did see here though was how even if we suffer, we are just as capable of enduring and rebuilding and that gives me hope for a brighter future. Besides the historical context, I found Hiroshima to be very relaxing and laid back. Okonomimura was a highlight for me but I did make the mistake of getting my okonomiyaki served on a plate.

[@MickAstoria]

[@nguyenthanh1149]

Hello Alina San, Thank you very much for your video on Hiroshima, and your emotional walk into the past. I am an architect and I belong to a family of doctors and surgeons, and I must say that I definitely agree with what you say, so simply, but truly about the price of life. And also, we have to recall that it is easy to destroy, but much more difficult to build patiently with comprehension and love. You said all this very well. Besides I’ve liked too the views on Japanese cuisine and cookies that are very beautiful too and interesting too. But the nostalgia at the end show that you are filled with compassion and sorrow in front of the horror of that bombing. Thank you for that. Did you know that the same psychopath politicians, like you call then, had the same project in Vietnam in 1954? But they did not do it. I’ve been in America and crossed the whole country, and I can say that the land is really beautiful and that the people are very kind and brave. Thank you again for this video on the price of life. Besides, I also feel that you seem to love Asia very much isn’t it? Maybe love is the solution after all? Thanks again and please follow your way. THANH

[@ralfmoll5727]

Hi Alina, Very good coverage of such an emotional location! For my video about Hiroshima, I also have piano music. Two things to add, which makes it even sadder. The US deliberately spared out Hiroshima from conventional bombing, because it was on the list as possible target for atomic bombing. The wanted to study the devastation which could be caused by only one atomic bomb. The second thing is, how the actual bomb dropping was done caused, that most people where not sheltered leading to even more deaths. And one additional sad fact is, the bomb was dropped right above the atomic dome, You covered in the video. They wanted to target the bridge, but missed it slightly. Again: Great video to show the world the consequences of violence, wrong leadership and war! 👍🏻 Best regards, Ralf

[@user-wb3wg3we8w]

Let me add a little more. At that time, there were some American captives in Hiroshima. They were also victims of the atomic bomb.

[@stoutland888]

Thank you for sharing this video and your thoughts, Alina! I really appreciate what America has offered me so far (as a "foreigner") but have to say that it's scary to see recently that about a half of the anonymous folks on Blind (so the votes are not all Americans) voted that these bombs are justified. Of course, not all the American people would agree, but I have a sense that this is quite a common prospective in America. Years ago I had two American then co-workers told me out of blue/context that the bombs are justified (what does that go to do with work!). There is sort of no rule when it comes to war, but the fact that they can think that random attacks on civilization are justified for whatever the reason is, I have to say those folks are brainwashed. We have long way to go, but there is a hope that so many people visit Hiroshima today:)

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yeah that is absolute insanity.

[@williamcarter361]

I have also been to Hiroshima & Nagasaki and paid my respects to those who perished. However the historian in me would like to ask what was the alternative to win against Japan. An allied invasion would have resulted in more casualties for both sides. Landing on Iwo Jima resulted in 6,200 U.S deaths and Okinawa led to over 13,000 U.S deaths. What would be the casualties of a mainland invasion? President Truman had no choice in the matter as Japan were a lot different to the wonderful Japan we know today.

[@stoutland888]

@@williamcarter361 We really don't know all the "truth" about what had happened and how all the decisions were made. If you want the answer to the common statements you mentioned, I think you should think harder than just buying into the common belief that the government wants you to believe, in order to look justified for their actions. How could the US side have done differently, etc.? Japan could have surrendered earlier if the US didn't demand unconditional surrender? Otherwise, you would do anything to win, and you want to feel justified? How could you expect other countries do better than the US then? By the way, I think the one attaches first is the evil is the Western way (or just US and Britain) of looking at things. That may be why it seems that the US and Britain use the tactics of inviting others to attach first or initiate, and declare that they are justified to do whatever. There is a sense of entitlement there. In the end, that kind of mindset is hurting the US more than Japan today. There is so much violence this country is still suffering today (from getting involved in unnecessary wars to mass shooting). I like American's openness and optimistic attitude though.

Can you tell about the radiation level at atom bomb dropping point and the surrounding areas? Looking at the greenery ( green grass, trees with green leaves ) and people roaming near the place it seems to me that the raditation level from the fall out has come to normal within 78 years or earlier which is very surprising given the time needed for a place to become radiation free after a n atomic bomb explosion.Some very important, practical and wise thought that I much apppreciate.

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

Very good video on a tough subject. The general in charge of the bombing of Japan actually said that if they didn't want to drop the A-bomb that he could force the Japanese to surrender by massive air raids and the dropping of Napalm bombs as they did to Toyko. ( more people died in the napalming of Toyko that in any of the battles in WW2 with the vast majority being Japanese) Many Japanese were burned to death. President Truman had a long hard debate on whether the A- bomb should be dropped or not. In the end he ordered the dropping of the A-bomb. My self, If I let myself think about it; I am on a teeter-toter and could very easily freeze in a position of indecision. Never-the-less, the decision was made and the results were devastating, but napalming the Japanese into submission would have been equally devastating and possibly worse. It was just one of those terrible moments in history of lose-lose and no chance of even a win-lose. Politically, the USA lost a lot of goodwill around the world over this decision.

[@cesarprod2561]

What do you mean whitewash?

[@jimross7648]

The song by Edwin Star said it best: War, huh, What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, This is true in the most general of terms, but unless one is involved, the thoughts and motives of the leaders of the combatants always find ways to justify their actions.The actual combatants just want it to end with their survival. The non combatants are just incidental to the conflict. Hiroshima and Nagasaki have served as beacons of what total destruction looks like. Neither side really understood the what the effects of such weapons would be until they had been used. Even now destruction by conventional weapons is horrific and some advocate limited use of nuclear weapons. Both sides always claim peace is their goal. Humans have the ability to self delude that they have the ability to control events that almost always unfold in unpredictable ways. Hiroshima is a contrast, terrible destruction and loss of life on one side. Human resilience and rebirth on the other side. My attendance to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a strong personal effect on me. The rebirth of these communities was and is outstanding. If one did not know the history of what had occurred it would be possible to believe it never happened. I didn't spend enough time seeing the sites and positives of Hiroshima, but I honestly don't know if I will visit again. You video has at least moved it the must consider list. As always nicely done Alina.

It is a great source of inspiration and motivation for us, as we strive to create a more harmonious world. Your words remind us that even in the face of great tragedy, we can still come together in unity and work towards creating something beautiful.

Safe travels, Alina.

[@whirltraveller1350]

Thanks for this. I share your sentiments about this. Unfortunately, the majority of people do not count to the power brokers, politicians, and the military industrial complex in many "civilized" countries. People are expendable pawns, and the leaders keep doing it over and over again. For example, is anyone seriously talking about peace in Ukraine? Absolutely not. Just more and more weapons pouring in while the jaded taxpayers sit idly by, largely oblivious of the human catastrophe that will only get worse over time. There are no winners, and only a legacy of human suffering will be left because nobody is interested in the other person's point of view or interest, in the first place. I recommend visiting Auschwitz and Berkenau to understand why the Jewish people rightly will never let us forget. My visit there was life changing. Keep on being the caring person that you are.

Chapter 2 92 Flames, golden colors visible from heaven to earth Falling from an unbeatable height, an astonishing catastrophe occurs Massacre of humans attacked by a big bomb "Little Boy" A horrific death, a proud man lets loose Nostradamus is great. Too awesome. Is this what you mean when you say proud people go wild? ↓ The Truman Memoirs writes: "Japanese are beast. So are treated as" Former U.S. President Truman appeared on the CBS TV program "Let's Talk Now" on the 2nd, and said, "After ordering the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I didn't feel any guilt. In case of emergency, it is certain that the hydrogen bomb will be used." 　 (He snapped his fingers this time like Paul Maki.)
