Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum: The City Bears Witness

0:00 / 0:20

  • Hiroshima Rebuilt: Castle, Garden, and the Trees That Lived: A short walk north of the epicentre, where Hiroshima's story turns from destruction to return, told through a castle rebuilt in concrete, a four-hundred-year-old garden brought back to life, and the survivor trees that refused to die.
