Hiroshima Traveling 1

I have been to Japan many times, but there are some places I wanted to visit the most. Hiroshima is the first place in the world where atomic bombs were dropped.

I wondered what kind of figure he was shot at by the most terrible weapon he had created, and now he wondered what the Japanese are thinking.

I went there. It is Hiroshima trip.

The way to Hiroshima

Yes, Hiroshima is now one of the largest cities in western Japan, but visiting Hiroshima in Korea is quite difficult. There is only one non-stop flight at Incheon International Airport, which also departs in the morning time. I got on this plane, so I had to get up at 3 am to get to the airport and get ready to go to the airport so the schedule is bad.

I have not seen many Korean tourists in Hiroshima throughout my travels like this. On the contrary, I saw a lot of foreign tourists, especially Western tourists. In the past, it seemed like some time ago that Western tourists would visit Hiroshima with Tokyo and Kyoto when they visited Japan, but there are so many Western-style foreigners who would not want to say it is empty.

So what I liked was that the store staff is pretty good at English. When traveling in small towns in Japan (Hiroshima is not a small city), I often encounter employees who are embarrassed to speak English, but Hiroshima rarely did. Convenience store staff also have 'Have a nice trip!' I have heard that Hiroshima is the city with the largest number of English speakers per average population in Japan.

Streetcars Hiroden

When I traveled in Hiroshima City, I used a lot of streetcars called "Hiroden". Although the price is not as good as the Osaka Flying Pass because the price has risen from this year, the Hiroshima Pass, which is still convenient for tourists, can be purchased for 1,500 yen on a two-day ticket basis, and the Hiroden Tram that goes to Miyajima, Unlimited free.

It was quite a fun experience to ride Hiroden than I thought. It was also fun to sit on the bumpy streetcar and watch the street scene, and besides the driver, the 'dean' who feels like an assistant was refreshing to announce or help the passengers while walking around the train.

In fact, if you have a pass, city buses are free, but are not you more fun than a bus you can ride in my country?

Hiroshima A-Bomb Dome

When I travel, I use 'attendance check' here and there whenever possible, but Hiroshima only thinks about this one from the beginning, and I used all the schedule for the first day of arrival. It is Hiroshima bombing land.

The building in the picture, 5 minutes walk from the ground zero explosive atomic bomb, could be paradoxically survived because it was so close, but most of the buildings and people near the city were not so lucky. Many buildings and people were literally 'extinct' with atomic bombs, and 70,000 people died instantly.

Details of the situation after the atomic bombing are shown in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. At first, I started watching the idea of ​​'self-reliance of Japanese imperialism', but I could not erase all the compassion as a human being. I can not even find out who the skin is melting down. I hold the belt I bought for the school entrance ceremony. The story of the boy who found the trail with it. Looking for a child in the mountain-like bones. I found strange thoughts. The story that there was a lunch box that was wrapped in underneath the ash ...

Korean counterpart in Hiroshima Peace Park

The sadder fact is that the Koreans, who had suffered more than anyone else because of the atrocities of Japan, became victims of the atomic bombing. At that time, about 140,000 Koreans lived in Hiroshima, of which about 50,000 were exposed and about 30,000 were killed.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall also mentions Korean victims. In the commentary on Japanese and English, I was honestly using the expression "Koreans who were treated as disgruntled Koreans," and besides there was a description of Koreans who had been exposed as Koreans in separate exhibits and who naturally tried to regain their right to be bombed by the Japanese government. When I saw these things, I heard that there was at least a conscience remaining.

I was sitting near Hiroshima Peace Park for about 30 minutes near the monument of the Korean victims, and I have seen many Japanese mothers find memorials here, but unfortunately I have never seen any Korean mothers. If you have any plans to find Hiroshima, stop by here for a memorial and remember your sad fate in this country.

Anyway, to sum up the memory of the trip on the first day of Hiroshima,

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a peaceful animal, a Japanese herbivorous animal. It is Japan that blows bread without declaring propaganda. I think that the atomic bomb is not lacking even if it thinks that the atom bomb is karma in consideration of the half-human crime of Kamikaze and 731 units.

But mankind has created atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs that are 10 times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima, where a total of 400,000 bomb survivors have been found in only one place after World War II. What would happen to mankind's fate if a few atomic bombs were dropped by human or machine mistakes and spread to a nuclear war? Sadly, mankind is still making weapons with the power to exterminate mankind itself.

Though we can not completely erase the idea of ​​a victim cosplay, Hiroshima still speaks of the most important and precious value of peace as "the first shooter of the atomic bomb" that mankind should no longer go to the path of destruction. I never thought that this lesson would be better for the Japanese than for anyone else, and that it would be a lesson for humans who still can not abandon their fantasies about nuclear weapons.

Humans are animals of forgetfulness, but the lessons of losing precious value of peace must be remembered. Hiroshima was an on-the-spot witness who devastated the value of peace on its own and was punished for its terrible consequences.
