Motoyasu Bridge
About
Connecting the bustling downtown area with the Peace Memorial Park, Motoyasu Bridge is a poignant historical site that survived the 1945 atomic blast. Today, this scenic stone bridge serves as a peaceful vantage point offering iconic views of the Atomic Bomb Dome across the Motoyasu River. It is a deeply moving spot to pause, reflect, and watch the riverboats pass by.
Insider Tip
Visit on August 6th to witness the beautiful floating lantern ceremony (Toro Nagashi) held right on the river next to the bridge.
