What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a riverside landscape of remembrance for the atomic bombing. Its paths connect the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims, the Children's Peace Monument and views toward the Atomic Bomb Dome. These memorials occupy the former Nakajima district, once a busy part of the city.

The outdoor park and the museums and memorial buildings within it are different visits. Allow time to read the monuments and move quietly around people paying their respects. Check each indoor facility separately for admission, operating hours and any reservation arrangements.

How do I visit?

Admission

Free

Outdoor park grounds only: free, open at all times and no regular closing day. Indoor museums and memorial buildings have separate hours, fees and entry rules. Ceremony or safety controls can temporarily restrict access.

Reservation

Not required

Know before you go

  • The outdoor park is free and ordinarily open at all times, but its museums have separate hours, tickets and entry rules. Plan indoor visits separately and use the official memorial map for the outdoor route. The August 6 Peace Memorial Ceremony can bring temporary park access controls; check that year's city notice rather than assuming unrestricted access.
