Exploring HIROSHIMA, Japan – From Nuclear Disaster to Rebirth
Hiroshima, Japan – A City Reborn from Tragedy
Hi everyone! In this video, I visit Hiroshima, a city forever marked by history. On 6 August 1945, the Enola Gay dropped the first-ever nuclear weapon, Little Boy, devastating Hiroshima. But today, it stands as a symbol of resilience, peace, and rebirth.
🚶♂️ Join me on this journey as I:
✅ Explore Hiroshima’s tragic past and hopeful present
✅ Experience the city’s modern life, culture, and hidden gems
✅ Visit iconic landmarks like the A-Bomb Dome & Peace Memorial Park
✅ Reflect on the lessons we can learn from Hiroshima’s remarkable recovery
📍 What to Expect in This Video:
(i) Start at the Hiroshima sign near Enkobashi Bridge, sharing my first impressions & comparisons with Tokyo.
(ii) Walk through the city, noticing historical markers, art, and daily life.
(iii) Coffee break at 7-Eleven ☕ – realising I walked in circles!
(iv) Tour my hotel & breakfast – insights into staying in Hiroshima.
(v) Visit Peace Memorial Park & A-Bomb Dome, discussing their significance.
(vi) Visit Hiroshima Castle, reflecting on the city’s resilience and what we can learn from it.
(vii) Bonus feature at the end – don’t miss it!

Willie Briljante Video! Hiroshima met sy geskiedenis hoogs intressant! Goed gedoen. Groete!
May this remarkable historic city be blessed.
Wow, ek was verbaas om te hoor dat daar skaars 1.4 miljoen mense in Hiroshima is! Is dit die syfer wat hulle by toeriste inligting gee? Dis nie eers 'n derde van Kaapstad se bevolking nie! Volgens die "macrotrends" webwerf is die 2025 metro bevolking daar 2 058 000, wat minder as 2024 is. Die "Hiroshima Peace Gardens" in Kaapstad is die naaste wat ek nog aan Hiroshima gekom het, maar ek onthou wel van my verblyf in Tokyo dat ons destyds nie toegelaat was om op straat te eet of drink nie. Dis hoekom daar ook nie askanne op die sypaadjies is nie. Jammer dat hulle mens verbied om binne daai kasteel videos te maak nie, maar dis goed om te sien hoe dit van buite lyk! Sien uit na jou volgende video daar in Japan!
Crazy to think what happened…
Completely a different world, wow! The war is very sad to learn about but it was very nice to see the history through your video. Thank you and amazing video like always, Willie. 😘❤🙏🏻👏👏👌👍
Very interesting thank you. The castle was great.
Thank you for your informative videos. I can see you do a lot of research. Lol every time I think you are going to break your phone or camera when you are ending off your vlog. I can say sjoe Willie
Thanks Willie once again for very informative vlog. The Japanese did an amazing job of rebuilding their city. We pray it never ever happens again,a lesson to the world leaders who build such weapons of mass destruction to stop ✋️
Lovely city. Love it. Pronounciation of the city's name is very interesting – never knew it.ove all your videos. Thank you for showing us the world Willie.
Hi Willie, baie dankie, baie geniet, veral die kasteel, pragtig! Wragtig die enigste Mcdonald's met so ñ asemrowende uitsig! Groetnis.
Ja dis erg om te dink hoe brutaal daai bomb was. Die nagevolge van radiasie en alles wat daarna gekontamineer was. Lyk my die wind en die weer volg jou haha! Daai is n lekker bree rivier! Daai klein karre noem hulle "Kei Cars". As ek die stad so kyk het hulle merkwaardig herstel maar dra die letsels van daai swaar tye. Ek wonder of daai gebou met die dome nie dalk nof effe radioaktief is nie. Wat n besonderse kasteel. Jys reg Hahahaha! AOE2 het so kasteel gehad en so monument as ek reg onthou! Ek dink nie jy kon n moat bou nie. Dankie vir die deel Willie. Dis n besonderse plek. Geniet jou Sondag!
Hi Willie I'm watching your video of Hiroshima. It's interesting to think 70 % of the city was destroyed and that they had to rebuild it! Very sad😢
Wow Willie…voel of ek saam met jou stap! Baie hartseer en insiggewend.
Sjoe ja , stem dis baie interesant. Dankie vir die werk wat jy doen. Ek het in 1980-1983 Eropa, Engeland, Irelande, Denemarke en Oslo besoek.
Ah Willie you don't like Japanese food (I would looove that hotel breakfast choice) but you end up in McDonald's 😂
Another very clean Japanese city! To think that this beautiful city rose out of the devastation of the A-bomb. Truly amazing.
Thanks, Willie. Well presented, as always.
It is very harrowing to think about what happened here, Willie. I enjoyed your tour as I knew nothing about Hiroshima other than the tragedy. Beautiful view at the end, what a shame you had to go to a McDonalds to get it. These big companies are a blot on the landscape in every country, in my opinion😂🤦🏼♀️
Such an interesting place. Clear and crisp delivery on this one, Willie! Thanks a lot!
Dankie Willie vir die pragtige vidio ongelooflike skoon stad waarvan ons net kan droom
Baie dankie , geniet en sterk wees soos altyd. Ons Hemelse Vader Jesus Christus altyd met jou.
Thanks so much Willie for your channel. I subscribed because I will never be able to visit all these places abroad, even local in Cape Town, so indirectly I'm exploring all these places. Your videos are both interesting and informative. Continue to amaze us but at the same time, be careful and stay safe.😁🙏
American crimes were not committed by any army or any country on the face of the Earth!!! America is the biggest devil on this Earth
Have to agree with you on finding rubbish bins on the streets even in Tokyo, not sure if it's still like that there lol.
I didn't manage to make it to Hiroshima on my Japan trip so thank you for showing off some of the off the beaten track spots within the city.
Willie furthermore this is awesome especially subject matter that showing extraordinary packaging and inform them explaining their abilities formalities and counts for visiting these iconic places Illustrated by account details on what expected of inspiration amounts of posthumously. I say thank you for your support towards these subjective video and best one so far as in these darkest times. But historically way does have radiation after all these years? Looking forward for next or more xperience visiting videos!
