Not a vlog, no intrusive faces and mostly no talking, pure Japan only. A bit of talking in Japanese in the end.
I had some business in Hiroshima and got some time for a walk but not that much, so I walk the standard route from the park with Atomic dome to Hiroshima castle. One special thing was a boat tour around the castle. The weather was nice, the city was full of children on school tours.
I cut some running around the castle looking for ATM because I did not have enough cash for the tour first time. Also, there were some strange clicks, so I stopped few times to check my gimbal.

How can people take photo or selfie, posing all smiling, in front of this building,
without being ashamed of themselves. Normally i'm a cynical, but ignorance disgusts me … 1:45 – 2:06
Apart from that, thanks for the video, your videos are always beautiful.
Dear Rambalac…So many days without hearing from you and from your beautiful Lumix GH5 camera, which is better than our eyes!
We hope you are well and happy. Best regards Elba: from Argentina 🙂
항상 좋은 영상 고맙습니다. 람발락님 영상 보면서 저도 한국에서 비슷한 콘텐츠 운영하게 됐어요. 건강하세요.
Hello Rambalac. I love your videos. Awaiting more 🙂
New to your channel, lovely 😊 But how do you stop your microphones getting wet and how do you stop the wind sounds in the microphones? (I can’t stop wondering so I had to ask)
I think I like Hiroshima better than Tokyo.
35:08 beautiful rotation.
hi Rambalac, your video is amazing !!
but I really like your video about traveling in Japan at night
especially if it rains and crosses a small alley that I like the most, I hope you make more videos about traveling
Thank you for sharing this video
It's true what they say about Japan: They're really fast at repairing what was once lost.
I'd love to spend time there and read the plaques. I know it is impossible because we are literally at the dawn of the nuclear age still, but I hope we never use atomic weapons again.
Imagine this in 360 mode
Missing your videos, I keep checking daily if a new one is here. Keep up the good work ! 🙂
"And how is it related to walks?"
The same way you walk to random snack stands and vending machine drinks during your past uploads. That's related to walks as well. Maybe when you walk around you can stop by a mailbox to mail a letter that has to be off somewhere.

Is this your channel? https://bit.tube/play?hash=QmaXz64Mw5vynag4xoDG5NmVVRVrMsiRvyMPZGHPvrv6TH&channel=71766
广岛原子弹爆炸现场…………………..Tokyo Japan
I visited Hiroshima April 2019 for one day. Peaceful city with rainy day. I enjoyed that day.
I visited Hiroshima in 2017. Loved it immensely!! I took dozens of photos of this ruined building, I couldn’t get enough of it. Hiroshima now is a beautiful city. I plan to go back.
Atomic ruins-a solemn site to remember.A river ride with a stunning view of the majestic castle.A tune of sad song being played fills the heart with sadness.Thanx Rambalac for a beautiful sight of the river views.
i wanna go to hiroshime kyoto and tokyo in the spring so bad i hope i can
been here in early 2019, after 5pm i'm the only person at peace park.
will come back next year.
Thank you Rambalac
I LIKE PICKLES
love ur videos, thanks for uploading❤
3:07 It feels just wrong to hear an American tour guide talking there. They should be ashamed of what they did and stay away. :~(
Crazy americans!((
I’m going to visit Hiroshima in October, can’t wait to walk around all day long! I also planned to visit that rabbit island, hope it’s fun. Thanks for the video, love your channel.
Wow..thanks for sharing man,.. this looks amazing on 65 inch in 4k, having a joint .. its like im there
Dangerously lethal human race (shall we survive ourselves?), hurting memories, sober memorials, placid city center, gorgeous video.
Once again, I dare kindly ask you to please translate at least the names of monuments, temples, streets, as well as transit signs. Many of us your faithful fans love Japan, but know nothing of Japanese. Thank you.
ラムさん広島来てたのか。もしかしたら会ってるかもね笑
I used to live in Iwakuni, but Hiroshima was practically my second home during the weekends. Thank you so much for posting this. This brings back a ton of memories.
During your castle boat ride I kept imagining the different seasons….the fresh summer bright greens and yellows, the lush spring sakura blooms in pink and white, the autumn scarlets and burning orange warm hues and winter's brilliant white snowfalls…..during the Endo period. If only we can create time travel wouldn't it be wonderful ☺️ Sōzō suru
This visuals gave me a hard boner
I'm sorry but the tour guide has a simply wonderful voice. Another incredible video thank you.
Nice, informative and relaxing ! Thank you very much.
This is Hiroshima 10 years before the atomic bomb was dropped.

I want to ask the whole world
The atomic bomb was dropped in a town where civilians lived.
Is this not genocide?
I am the third bombed in Hiroshima. Both grandmother and mother died of cancer.
My mother suffered from thyroid cancer from an early age and died at the age of 53.
I am 51 years old and have already removed two cancers by surgery.

I really want to live my rest life there:-)
Greetings from india rambalac 💓🇮🇳
Belíssimo video!
En que minuto revienta el pueblo?
ありがとうございます。
Мені здалося, що жіночка на човні була трішки невдоволена тим що ви камерою знімаєте, трішки 怒っています。Добре що 外国人に багато чого дозволяють). На слідуючий раз в таких ситуаціях ви кажіть, що ваші глядачі з України, Росії, Європи, Америки і інших країн світу, хочуть більже дізнатись про роботу таких відданих своїй справі 日本人.
Я давно чекав таких прогулянок. Ще б було круто по озерам і по морю оттак поплавати разом з вами).
Eu resolvi assistir a esse vídeo hoje por causa da data, 06 de agosto, em que o Japão lembra os 75 anos da tragédia nuclear que aconteceu em Hiroshima. Foi um passeio importante, não apenas para conhecer o lugar, mas também para perceber a importância da cidade para os japoneses, que conseguiram reconstruir tudo novamente. Agradeço também por terem feito a transcrição de sua conversa com a guia turística, eu estava muito curioso para saber o que vocês estavam conversando a respeito do lugar. E também agradeço pela sua resposta no vídeo anterior, tentarei postar meus próximos comentários em inglês.
2:25 ¿ español?
I like the silence…
Don't know why but I find listening to the Japanese language very relaxing even though I don't understand it.
How much of Hiroshima is still radioactive and health threatening today verses the radiation levels in 1945 after the bomb attack ?????
