Atomic Bomb survivors museum, Hiroshima castle and Visit to the Seibu Centre for Children in Hiroshima








Our time in Hiroshima was really interesting.. After our visit to Miyajima island Yoshi dropped us back at the Peace park for a couple of hours where we visited the Atomic Survivors museum. This was a salutory experience. The art work done by survivors was particularly poignant..and spoke volumes. For me (L) these were really meaningful. There is a pic also of elderly women who seem to be gardeners in the park. They were very old women. We understand that 20% of Japanese are over 65 and work well into their old age. Yoshi then picked us up to take us to Hiroshima castle where we played with some Samuri helmets!! as well as seeing early Hiroshima history.There are also some photos here of our visit to Seibu centre which I have written about previously. Colourful wheelchairs/pushchairs for kids! etc
