About
Located just 170 meters from the hypocenter, this restored Art Deco building is one of the few structural survivors of the atomic blast. Inside, the preserved basement offers a chilling, authentic glimpse into the tragedy through the story of its sole survivor, Eizo Nomura. Today, it serves as a multi-functional space featuring a poignant exhibition, a tourist information center, and a piano salvaged from the bombing.
Insider Tip
Head to the basement first to register for the free, self-guided viewing of the historic survivor's room before it gets crowded.
