Overall

I spent more time in Hiroshima's Peace Park Museum than in any other musem, seeing the tiny paper cranes folded by Sadako, the little girl afflicted by the A-bomb's radiation, who became an inspiration in her succumbing to the horror fate visited upon her. The Museum, walking the Park and seeing the A-bomb Dome are all in such contrast with the beauty and serenity of visiting and hiking on the island of Miyajima - or perhaps it is exactly that contrast that makes the Hiroshima experience stick in my mind like few others. Travel so often is about personal enjoyment; this visit is about paying one's respects, and learning a very different way to "enjoy". Hiroshima will change you for the better.
