Former Bank of Japan’s Hiroshima Branch is one of Hiroshima City’s Important Cultural Properties since the building survived from the Atomic bombing. The building survived even though it was only 1,200 feet (380 m) away from the hypocenter of the Atomic bombing on August 6th, 1945 since its structure had been constructed very strongly. The building has been open as a historical museum and for non-profit cultural activities by the municipality. We wish everyone to know what the atomic bombing was like by seeing a piece of historic sites in Hiroshima.
