Participation in Cleanup Activities at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
Prior to the Peace Memorial Ceremony held on August 6th every year, a collective cleanup activity takes place in and around the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, organized by Hiroshima City and the Hiroshima City Public Health Promotion Council. This event aims to promote peace awareness and enhance hospitality.
