The atomic bomb dropped to Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 destroyed the city, take over a hundred thousand lives, the radiation still plagues the survivors.
Of course, the trees that lived in the city of Hiroshima were also bombed, and most of the trees were blown away by the blast and burned out with the fire. There are still trees that survived. Trees that survive approximately 2 km from the hypocenter are said to a bombed trees.
There are some trees that have died as the years go by, but there are many trees that have survived more than 70 years, and it seems that about 160 trees have been lived
I want to record the figures of these bombed trees and let many people
see them.It is an A-bombed tree that is recognized as having a message for nuclear abolition, but I think it would be nice for me feel the figure of the tree itself.
There are many trees that have weakened, but they express the way they have survived their hardships.
In addition, it is often difficult to park by car, so it is recommended to visit by public transportation, bicycle, or foot.
