Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Site: Scars of War and Prayers for Peace
The Nagasaki atomic bomb drop site (Nagasaki atomic bomb drop site) is located in Matsuyama-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is the center point where the US Air Force dropped the atomic bomb on August 9, 1945. After the atomic bomb exploded, buildings around the center were razed to the ground and about 70,000 people were killed.
Today, the site of the atomic bomb drop is a memorial park that houses the Atomic Bomb Drop Site Monument, the Atomic Bomb Museum, and the remains of the Urakami Catholic Church.
The monument to the center of the atomic bomb drop now consists of a black granite pillar about 15 meters high with the words "center of the atomic bomb drop" engraved on it. There is a small stone tower in front of the monument, which houses the list of the atomic bomb victims.
You will also see the remains of Urakami Cathedral, which are the only parts of the walls of Urakami Cathedral that remain after the atomic bomb explosion. The cathedral was razed to the ground in the atomic bomb blast, but this wall miraculously survived.
Visiting the site where the atomic bomb fell can help us better understand the history of World War II, feel the cruelty of war, and reflect on the importance of peace.
The center of the atomic bomb drop is the memorial park, please keep quiet. The site where the atomic bomb fell in Nagasaki is an important historical site for Japan and the world, and an important place to reflect on war and cherish peace.
