  ️ Gates of Peace – A Silent Monument to Global Unity At the Gates of Peace, travelers will encounter ten towering glass panels lined up like open doors, each etched with the word "peace" in 49 different languages. Located just steps from the Atomic Bomb Dome, this modern monument is a symbolic gateway welcoming people from around the world into Hiroshima’s message of peace and remembrance. During the tour, I’ll guide you through the deeper meaning behind this artwork—why it was created, what it represents, and how it connects to Hiroshima’s mission as a global peace city. We’ll take time to walk between the gates, reflect quietly, and take photos if you wish. It's a powerful moment of pause during the tour, reminding us that peace is a universal language.
