1Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
This is a unique historical walking tour that delves beyond the typical narrative. We contrast the Dome's public symbol with the site's untold reality, focusing on the human stories of sacrifice and survival. At the Fountain of Prayer, we listen to the profound stories of the thirst victims and the deep, life-long regret of the survivors who could not offer water. It represents not just thirst, but the tears of the living who endured the impossible choice.
