Aioi Bridge
About
Known for its unique T-shape, the Aioi Bridge is a historic structure that served as the actual target point for the 1945 atomic bomb due to its distinct layout from the air. Rebuilt after the war, it now offers a poignant vantage point directly overlooking the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Park. Walking across it provides a profound sense of perspective, connecting the modern, bustling city of Hiroshima with its preserved past.
Insider Tip
