Travelog Japan, Spring: Hiroshima

Travelog Japan, Spring 2018: Hiroshima (Day 4)// Trip Spring Japan ni kami combine dengan Jeju. Kami di Jeju 4 hari 3 malam, dan naik flight T’way Air ke Japan Kansai International Airport.

Hari ketiga, kami check-out hotel di Osaka dan ke Kobe pula, dan check-in Tokoyo Inn JR Kobe-Eki. Menarik Tokoyo Inn ni sebab dekat sangat dengan train station dan breakfast dia macam makan dalam dulang di asrama.

A-bomb Dome, Hiroshima

Bagus juga ada papan info di sini. Dapatlah kita baca sejarah A-bomb Dome Hiroshima Hiroshima ni.

Sedikit info saya dapat mengenai A-bomb Dome ini.

“The building now known as the A-bomb Dome was designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel. Completed in April 1915, the Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition Hall soon became a beloved Hiroshima landmark with its distinctive green dome.

While its business functions included commercial research and services and the display and sale of prefectural products, the hall was also used for art exhibitions, fairs, and cultural events.

Through the years, it took on new functions and was renamed the Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibitions Hall, the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. As the war intensified, however, the hall was taken over by the Chugoku-Shikoku Public Works Office of the Interior Ministry, the Hiroshima District Lumber Control Corporation, and other government agencies.

At 8.15am, August 6, 1945, an American B29 bomber carried out the world’s first atomic bombing. The bomb exploded approximately 600 meters above and 160 meters southeast of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, ripping through and igniting the building, instantly killing everyone in it.

Because the blast struck from almost directly above, some of the center walls remained standing, leaving enough of the building and iron frame to be recognizable as a dome.

After the war, these dramatic remains came to be known as the A-bomb Dome.”

“For many years, public opinions about the dome remained divided. Some felt it should be preserved as a memorial to the bombing, while others thought it should be destroyed as a dangerously dilapidated structure evoking painful memories.

As the city was rebuilt and other A-bombed buildings vanished, the voices calling for preservation gathered strength. In 1966, the Hiroshima City Counsel passed a resolution to preserve the A-bomb Dome, which led to a public fundraising campaign to finance the construction work. Donations poured in with wishes for peace from around Japan and overseas, making the first preservation project possible in 1967.

Several preservation projects have since been carried out to ensure that the dome will always look as it did immediately after the bombing".

Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome), World Heritage Site

“In December 1996, the A-bomb Dome was registered on the World Heritage List as a historical witness conveying the horror of the first use of a nuclear weapon, and as a world peace monument appealing continually for lasting peace and the abolition of such weapons.

To help protect the dome, the national government designated the area around it as a historical site under the Cultural Properties Protection Act, with a larger area in and around the Peace Memorial Park set aside as a buffer zone.”

Antara lain yang ada di Peace Memorial Park adalah A-bomb Dome, Children’s Peace Monument, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, International Conference Center Hiroshima, Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall dan banyak lagi monument.

Selain itu, Peace Memorial Park juga terkenal dengan pokok sakura yang cantik. Dalam perjalanan kami dari A-dome nak ke museum, nampak ramai yang berhanami di sini.
