he distance between Kyoto and Hiroshima is about the equivalent of traveling from New York to Boston. It took about an hour and 45 minutes on Japan’s bullet train, known as Shinkansen. With zero delay at each stop, the train traveled at a smooth 200–300 miles per hour over 193 miles of Japanese landscape. It was one of the most relaxing, simple, exhilarating and easiest forms of travel I have ever experienced.
Arriving by streetcar at the mouth of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, my stomach dropped. I felt strange, awful, sad, confused, yet at the same time happy. I was happy to see that the city was beautiful and busy. It was almost as if the United States never dropped the atomic bomb at all.
The Genbaku Dome, a World Heritage Site, which is the only preserved building left from the atomic bomb’s hypocenter, is a concrete frame with twisted and bent steel with wind blowing through its walls. It left me quiet and disturbed. I had stood where others had vanished in the blink of an eye. It is a breathtaking experience that only intensifies inside the memorial museum, which provides a representation of the realities of nuclear warfare and a message of hope that we may never use nuclear weapons again.
