Late afternoon I came to this place. Heartbreaking when Im in. I take some picture on the road to National Peace Memorial Hall. The life goes on every place on plan. And the picture make my tears fallen down slowly. I just keep fallin by look above my head. Its perfect for healing if u wanna give your kindness to healing victims. In this Memorial Hall, a place of commemoration and prayer, collecting and disseminating information and archival materials about the atomic bombing, and providing medical information about radiation illnessses and engaging in international exchange. You must come here if You are in nagasaki. I came to Japan for second, the first one I goes to Hiroshima, and this second time to Nagasaki. I think peaceful is a choice.

Impressive underground construction for a very impressive experience. To me this place was mainly about testimonies about people who have been through this. Watching these people (videos) and reading others was is quite heartbreaking. At the same there is a paper crane workshop right in the middle, full of colors and kids having fun. It’s another main aspect of the bombings I discovered in both Nagasaki and Hiroshima, how Japanese people are turning these disasters into both a indelible memory and optimistic lesson for the future.

I really liked this memorial (if you can *like* such a thing). I thought it was poignant and allowed some silent reflection. There was a section where you could write something to future people (your future self or your children/etc) that will be kept on the system for 10years if you return. There was origami as well, as well as some harrowing first person accounts of some of the victims

We visited today and had an amazing experience today with two beautiful Japanese ladies who read out (To us personally) actual accounts from a few of the survivors from that fateful day in August 1945. We were honoured to be included, It was a moving experience and I recommend you do it if asked. They also gifted us some paper cranes which made the experience so special…bless

This place is separate to the Bomb Museum contrary to a lot of the reviews below. Nevertheless, it’s a worthwhile experience to complement your visit, offering a free opportunity to see the hall dedicated to the victims of the bombing. There is a ledger on the lower level which holds the names of all those who perished.

The memorial is topped with an abundance of water as it’s said on that morning many victims were begging for water after the bomb had fallen. It is also lit by about 70,000 fiber optic lights which is roughly the number of people who perished that morning. Just beside the atomic bomb museum and well worth a visit.
