    It doesn’t matter how much you’ve seen of the photos and accounts of the atomic bombs in Japan, the museum at Hiroshima still leaves a real impact on you. The crowds are huge though, I’m very glad I booked a ticket to enter the museum earlier (7:30-8:30) and take my time without navigating hordes of school students and tourists

      I visited the museum last year. There were people in tears after going through the main section. There’s really no sugar coating that very dark part of history, so impactful.

      When you come into the light and massive windows overlooking the peace park after the main section, it’s a nice snap back into the somewhat peaceful present.
