This was one of our most impactful travel experiences ever🙏

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, on August 9, they dropped a second one on Nagasaki.

What is Hiroshima like today? Has the city managed to recover from the devastation of 1945? What is it like to visit as a tourist? And what can we learn from visiting a place with such a dark and harrowing history?

We'll be answering all those questions and more in today's video🙏

We are Oskar & Dan, and we’re on a mission to see as much of the world as possible during our youth🧔🏻👱🏻‍♂️ So far, we’ve traveled to 100 countries to show that anyone can travel off the beaten path, regardless of who they are❤️ However, we realized that constantly chasing new countries isn’t necessarily the most fulfilling way to live life, so now we’re finding balance by exploring more of our favorite countries and seeing new places at a more sustainable pace🗺 See our YouTube about page for more info👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻 See you around the world🌍

Japan was country 38🌍

We started our trip in the Keihanshin region, which is Japan's second largest metropolitan area after Tokyo, made up of the cities Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, and other smaller ones. After eight days around this region, we hopped on the Shinkansen bullet train twice, first to Hiroshima and then to Fukuoka. From there, we took a boat to Busan, South Korea (we were SO excited about this ferry ride between Japan and Korea!) before catching a train to Seoul and flying home from there!

Thank you for watching!🙏😍
