US President Obama visiting Hiroshima
Barak Obama, the current US president visited Hiroshima, the very place that the first atomic bomb exploded in human history on May 27th during the period of the G7 Summit held in Ise-Shima as I write in the previous post here. He now has become the very first incumbent US president that visited the historic damaged area in the history after 71 years have passed since the end of WW2.
Obama visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park where Peace Memorial Museum and the “Genbaku Dome”, the only remainig building that was damaged by the atomic bomb and is disgnated as a World Cultural Heritage Site of Unesco as a “negative asset of the human kind”.(http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/index_e2.html) (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/775) At historic site, Obama gave a quite historic remark referring to his utmost condolences to all the victims of the WW2 and the importance of realizing and sustaining world peace giving up nuclear thoroughly. He also donated bouquet for the souls of the victims there. PM Abe joined the ceremony together with Obama at the park. The park and items there are naturally so popular and famous that a lot of people including foreign tourists visit there. Actually, I have been there many times taking my customers who are foreign tourists as a tour guide. All those customers seemed interested in the site. A lot of people worldwide are interested in the tragic history of the war, the importance of world peace. I hope this park area which has laready been a populat tourists’ desination will be even more popular and well-known with the US president’s historic and impressive visit to the place.
