The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) is a World Heritage site in Japan defined by the UNESCO in 1996 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 526 (825, 814) in our monthly survey..

"The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind; it also expresses the hope for world peace and the ultimate elimination of all nuclear weapons."
