Let me share with you the places of interest I so much enjoyed. Many of them are what I showed to my guests while working as an English-speaking tour guide with national license. Also try my former site (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/jasmine-rosemary) or find me on facebook (jasmine nakai).

Peace Park on a snowy day
snow silently falling in Peace Park
It was a tour with snow but at the start of the tour, major part of the talks was given in the Rest House where tourist information is housed, benches are available and it is warm. It was one snowy, quiet day and I could not resist taking a few pictures while giving a tour. This is one of them: the main wing of the peace memorial museum completed in 1955. Lifted by stilts, the building serves as the gate to the park and symbolizes the resilience of people standing up once again. By raising the structure, TANGE secured his axis of vista that he laid on the ground: the impressive alignment of the A-bomb Dome, Flame of Peace, Cenotaph, and the original wing of the museum that is at right angle with the Peace Boulevard.
