Observe a recital at the Children’s Peace Monument.  This is also housed within the Peace Memorial Park across the river. This monument was built in remembrance of a child victim of the bombing, Sadako Sasaki, and thousands of children affected by the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. On the day of our visit, there was a solemn recital from a group of school children before the monument, making the visit even more poignant. *japan #architecture #free #statue #westjapan #hiroshima
