The hypocenter is easy to miss because the marker sits among everyday buildings rather than inside Peace Memorial Park. Finding it clarifies the geography of August 6, 1945: the explosion occurred above this point, while the nearby Dome is a separate preserved structure. Keep this a brief, thoughtful stop.
