The ONLY thing you need to do in Hiroshima [emotional]

In this Japan Vlog, we visit Hiroshima, spending the day in the area around the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. We knew this would be a tough day, and we were right. However, we also didn't know that Hiroshima's grief would pave way for a new message to emerge - one of hope.

祖父母が被爆者です。何度行っても私も泣いてしまう場所です。

とても良い動画でした。


是非、広島にも足を運んで博物館に行ってほしいですね。

I travel to Hiroshima every year, and past the people taking selfies and the hordes of groups, I go and pray. Thank you for making a video on this place and treating it with the respect that it deserves.

I visited in 2019, and am not ashamed to say I teared up too. The Children's Peace memorial really got to me. But it was so beautiful to see how the city has rebuilt itself to be a wonderful destination. Truly one of my favourite locations in Japan 🥰

Your emotional feeling after seeing the boys in the museum made me almost cry because I understand you so much. I was born and raised in the prefecture right next to Hiroshima so we have learned a lot and visited the place twice for peace study.
It is really delightful to see a bunch of visitors from oversea voluntarily visit to the museum and places to see what was exactly happened after the bombing.

Thank you for visiting Hiroshima and sharing the moment of your life.

I was very emotional the day I went to visit this city and this memorial in Nov 2024. Roses were blooming, a dedication from countries around the world. The overwhelming message of peace was touching and beautiful. My friends and I were fortunate enough to be present when an elementary class was presenting their paper cranes to the Children's monument and they began to sing. I don't know what the words were, but I felt them and I began to sob, I was so incredibly emotional. It was incredibly impactful being there, I believe I am changed for the better - for forever. Thank you for making this video. Thank you to the residents of Hiroshima and the citizens of Japan for showing the rest of us that war is not the answer, only peace and love of humanity can prevail!

I went there in I think 2015 and Oh my god the museum, one of the most memorable infact the most memorable place ive ever visited. Walking around the museum tears in my eyes, made me think how can anyone go to war after with a sane mind after viewing here. World leaders should come here and if they then cause war then we know they are insane.

私たち日本人は、アメリカの人を憎んだり、恨んだりしません。

他の外国人の方にも、広島へわさわさ来てくれた事に感謝です。
泣きながら感動しました。
ありがとうございました

[ikedashinsuke]

お互いを尊重しあえる世界を築いていかなければ。
あらためて、穏やかで平和な世界を祈ります！
素敵な動画をありがとうございます🍀

多くの日本人は、アメリカを恨んではいないと思う。
でも、忘れることは決してない。

[union_]

日本語で改めてコメントします。









私たちは、戦争を憎みます。核爆弾を憎みます。
でも、アメリカの方を憎んではいません。
その行為を憎み、人を憎みません。


彼らも被害者です。

もうこのような悲劇を、二度と繰り返してはいけません。

I love to see vlogs in Japan taken by travelers from all over the world but this one is extraordinary. I feel like I watched a documentary program on TV. The video and editing are excellent, of course, but your comments were heartbreaking. I watched this video at a cafe and found myself crying. Thank you for sharing.

[emilaubry]

Your sensitivity and respect for the history is very appreciated.

[michimichannel]

Welcome to Hiroshima ! Hi 😊 Thank you Bill & Heather💕💕. I was so impressed by your video. Thank you so much for your kindness. I will continue to support your channel🥰💞💖💝

[つきつき-co]

私も高校生の時広島をおとずれました。
日本へ広島へ来てくれて
ありがとう。
どこかの国を憎むのでなく
誰かを憎むのではなく
戦争を起こした人々は間違って
おり、もう2度と同じあやまちを
犯さないことが重要です。

I lived in Hiroshima in 1982-3. I wondered when I arrived if being an American would be a problem. Not once did anyone treat us any way but kind. I was pretty young so WW2 seemed like ancient history. Now I look back on it from a 2024 perspective and it wasn’t as long ago as I had thought.40 years seemed like forever, but as nostalgia of us know, the years fly by. I always felt like walking around Hiroshima, especially the park was sacred ground.

[EmielvandenBoomen]

I watched all your Japan vlogs but saved this one about Hiroshima for last. You made me cry. Even when I visited Hiroshima way back in 1996, your message, the rainbow, your powerful storytelling made me (re) live it with even more impact. Thank you and all the best from the Netherlands.

My father is now 86 years old. He was nine years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I repeatedly heard stories that time from my grandparents and mother who were survivors of the atomic bombing. But it wasn't until my father was over 80 that he began to tell us what happened. We can tell without him saying how much it hurt him. My grandfather, who was 31, lost his sight to the light, my mother, who was 6, lost her hair to radiation, and my pregnant grandmother died six months later with her newborn. Yet I have never heard any hatred of Americans from my family.
Currently, I live in America. I go to my children's schools, who are also American, and when I give presentations on Japan, I always tell the class about the atomic bomb at the end. This is because I believe it is my duty to tell as many people as possible that the world is at peace so that no one feels the same as my family. The number of A-bomb survivors is decreasing yearly, but I hope we will pass it on and my children will inherit it.
Thank you for the wonderful video!

動画を見て泣きました。
国の争いに国民が巻き込まれるのは本当に心が痛いですね😢
戦争が無くなりますように🥺
