Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims

Why go

This is the park’s principal place of public remembrance and the focus of the annual Peace Memorial Ceremony. The open arch creates a deliberate sightline through the memorial landscape. Pause here for the inscription and alignment; the museum, flame and river each add different context rather than replacing this moment.
