At 8:15 on the morning of 6 August 1945 the bomb exploded over the city centre, and almost everything a history walk here covers comes back to that moment. The better guides start earlier, with the castle town the Mori clan founded in 1589, so you understand what was lost.
Contemplating the ethical dilemmas and long-term ramifications behind the fateful decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, this walking tour provides a profound historical exploration.
