原爆の子の像

About

Located in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, this touching monument is dedicated to Sadako Sasaki and the thousands of children lost to the 1945 atomic bomb. Atop the pedestal stands a bronze statue of a girl holding a wire crane, symbolizing hope and peace. It is a profoundly moving stop where you will see vibrant glass cases filled with millions of colorful origami paper cranes sent by children from all over the world.

Insider Tip

Locate the bronze crane bell suspended inside the dome beneath the statue; visitors are welcome to ring it softly as a prayer for peace.
