Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Hypocenter (Shima hospital)

Despite looking pretty simple, it’s one of the most significant highlights in Hiroshima. Hidden down a narrow side-street, it’s easy to forget its importance. This is the hypocenter, the exact point at which the fateful bomb detonated 180 meters above the city. People will often leave behind offerings such as paper cranes as a sign of peace and collections of flowers for the dead.
