Hiroshima Days - Be a local

Would you like to send a message on a lantern with a prayer for peace? You can send your pray to Hiroshima from wherever in the world you are. On August 6, the day of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, lanterns are floated on the river to commemorate those who passed away in the bombing. Although it may take a little longer for you to float the lanterns directly on the river in Hiroshima like before, you can create your own lanterns on your PC or mobile and float them. Please type a message with pray for peace. You can create your digital floating lantern with message for free on the following website until August 15, 2021. https://message.tsuguten.com/en/ The messages you send will then be shown on 18 digital signages throughout the city of Hiroshima. Especially on August 6, more messages from more people will be posted.

It is a hard thing to ask about what the Atomic Bomb survivors experienced, even if it is between the families, since it is something that needs enough willpower to speak out. Some atomic bomb survivors started to disclose their personal stories in order not to blame anybody but to convey their mutual message to the world; "No more victims and sufferers of nuclear weapons". One tour guide, who is a second-generation of atomic bomb survivors, got that opportunity to hear directly from the survivors through her job of interpretation. The Online Experience is provided by this guide, who wants to share the messages from the survivors that she received in that valuable opportunity. The contents in these stories are approved by the survivors. 3 minutes preview "True Stories of Atomic Bomb Survivors" Click here to book or learn the program more. View On Airbnb
