The Atomic Bomb Dome Hiroshima 原爆ドーム
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) stands as the sole survivor near the hypocenter of the first atomic bomb explosion on August 6, 1945. Preserved in its pre-explosion state, it serves as a powerful symbol of humanity’s destructive capabilities and a hopeful expression of world peace and the elimination of nuclear weapons. The inscribed property covers 0.40 ha in Hiroshima’s urban center, including the Genbaku Dome within the ruins of the building. Beyond its aesthetic and architectural values, the Genbaku Dome symbolizes the balance between humanity’s destructive potential and its hope for permanent peace.
