From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

The FPCJ and Hiroshima City jointly held a press tour to Hiroshima, with this year marking 70 years since the atomic bomb was dropped. Fifteen journalists from 11 countries and regions (the USA, Russia, France, China, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore) participated in the tour.

In addition to interviewing the mayor and hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors), the tour also covered new efforts to pass on the memories of the bombing and unique local businesses that have grown along with Hiroshima after the war.
