Nagasaki Memorial to Korean Victims of the Atomic Bomb

Historical landmark

👍👍 재일교포들과 일본 시민단체가 세운 조선인 원폭 희생자 위령비 입니다.원폭 자료관 맞은편(편의점 건너편 유료주차장 바로 옆 벤치 안쪽)에 한국정부와 민단이 2021년 세운 한국인 원폭 희생자 위령비가 있으니 함께 방문해주시면 좋겠습니다. (구글에 안떠서 같이 올려요 두번째 사진부터입니다) 피폭이 되면 굉장히 목이...

A-Bomb Ruins of Shiroyama Elementary School

Historical landmark

👍👍 館長さんがすごく良い方で、閉館時間を少し過ぎてしまったのに、とても丁寧に説明してくださった。今は、君が代を歌っても問題になってしまうような時代なのに、ここの子どもたちは原爆の話を観光客に説明できるくらいよく知っているそうです。伝えていかなければいけない真実を残していくためには、こういう施設は貴重で...

Former Asaka Palace House

Historical landmark

👍👍 とても好きな場所です。定期的に訪れ、わずかな時間でもここで過ごしたいと思える魅力的な空間です。庭園は、当日入場枠もありますが、混雑状況によっては入れない場合もあるようなので、公式のサイトから事前の日時指定をするのがオススメです！

A-bombed Phoenix Trees

Historical landmark

👍👍 Beautiful transplanted trees from 1300m away which survived the A-bombing of Hiroshima on August 6th 1945. The only A-bombed trees I've seen with a visitor sign-in book & peace song. The trees show damage on the trunk & thankfully produce seeds each year which are shared with schools that have peace...

Ikki no Gomon

Historical landmark

👍👍 It is said to be 3,000 years old, and is one of the oldest camphor trees in the area. There is a large hollow at the base of the tree. Since it is only this vintage, it seems to be familiar with the place where Totoro lives (* ^ _ ^ *) The road leading to this place is narrow and the slope is ste...

Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Cenotaph

Stone carving

👍👍 솔직히 민족의식에 관한 담론 별로 안좋아하는데 여긴 안갈 수가 없었다. 한국인말고는 굳이굳이 오지 않는 외진 구석, 공원의 중앙부와는 매우 비교된다. 원폭 피해자 중 10퍼센트가 한국인이었다는 걸 처음 알았다. 생수를 놓는 추모 방식을 몰랐어서 내일 다시 와서 생수 한병 놓고 가야겠다.

Okubo Mabu Mine Shaft

Historical landmark

😐 1日4回限定(定員10人迄)の大久保間歩ツアーに呼び込み(石見銀山世界遺産センターで)されていたので、参加さして頂きました。ツアー料は3700円で所要時間は約2時間です。バスに乗って(所要時間約５分)行き、そこからは徒歩で少しの山登りと間歩を徒歩で歩きます。間歩に入場する手前で、長靴とヘルメット(ヘッドライト付き )...

Former Tsushima Family Shin-zashiki

Historical landmark

👍👍 売店に太宰の文庫本が全て揃ってるのがいい。(私のお目当てはたまたま売り切れてましたが…) その他のグッズも良心的な価格。感じの良いお兄さんがあらゆる品を詳しく解説してくれます。

Shishinden (Ceremonial Palace)

Heritage building

👍👍 この場所を訪れると日本人で京都市出身で良かったと思えます。予算や警備の都合、そして観光客だらけの京都の状況では不可能だったと思うが、出来れば今上天皇皇后両陛下の即位礼正殿の儀は、こちらでして頂きたかったです。もしも敬宮愛子内親王殿下が天皇に御即位されるなら、ぜひこの地で即位礼正殿の儀をされ原点回帰...

Atomic Bomb Memorial Burial Mound

Historical landmark

👍 Bodies were scattered around this area, close to the hypocenter, and countless bodies, including those pulled from rivers, were carried and buried. In 1946 (Showa 21), a temporary memorial tower, temporary ossuary, and chapel were built with donations from citizens, and 10 years later, in 1955 (Show...

宇宿貝塚史跡公園

Museum

👍👍 It's a really interesting place where the ruins are displayed in an excavated state. Highly recommended as it gives you a glimpse into the roots of the Japanese people. Also, the curators here are wonderful. Of course you can get detailed explanations, but it's also fun to get information that only...

岩谷観音寺跡

Historical landmark

👍👍 ◯岩屋観音寺跡水分森林公園の駐車場に車を停めて水分神社登山口から岩屋観音へ登山道の途中には東屋など焼失した観音堂境内跡には石積の基礎や石碑等が残り古の賑わいを感じます。広島市から宮島など瀬戸内海の島々まで眼下に広がる眺望は最高です。尾根伝いに、高尾山(標高424.2m) その先は、呉娑々宇山(標高6...

Iwo Jima War Dead Monument (Tenzan Memorial Monument)

Memorial park

👍👍 戦争について、多くのことを考えさせられる、大切な場所。慰霊碑を直接写真に撮るのはいかがなものかと思ったので、周囲の供養塔を。

Nishinomaru gate

Historical landmark

👍 Entering the palace is quite rare. There are times when you can and should be updated on the website when you can and reserve tickets in advance. The gardens are nicely arranged and you can walk around the area and also admire the cute corners and the bridges that connect the parts of the park. Be c...

Monument of Prayer

Memorial

👍👍 偶々、目の前を横切ったら、この祈りの像がありました。建立日は昭和35年1960年8月15日終戦15周年にあたり、大東亜戦争を始めとする、幾多の困難に際して国に殉じた（じゅんじた）犠牲者の慰霊と平和への祈りを込めた記念碑です。

Yamashita Rinko Line Promenade
