Trip Summary
One main goal for the visit of Nagasaki, obviously, was to visit the Atom Bomb Museum, along with the surrounding areas. To get there, we walked northwards from the main railway station, passing by the large and modern Stadium City of Nagasaki. Continuing along Sanno Street, the first strong impression came with the one-legged Torii Gate and a plate, explaining its brutal history. Continuing further northwards, we then first visited the Hypocenter Park, which now marks the place, where -- right above -- the atom bomb exploded. After spending time in this park, we then walked up to the Atom Bomb Museum. Also there, we could take substantial time to carefully visit the museum as well as the peace hall. When were all through it, we then walked over to the Peace Park, after crossing over Matsuyama Bridge and walking by the place of former air-raid shelters. All of these sites, exhibitions, and commemorations left the expected strong impression on us.
