"'Fat Man'"
  by erion

last time there: October 1998
Whatever your thoughts on the bombing of Nagaskai (hopefully the thought of nuclear weapons enrages you), a visit to Urakami is a must. This is the suburb north of Nagasaki that housed the Mitsubishi Arms Works that became the target for "Fat Man" on August 9th 1945. There are wide spaces within the Peace Park, as well as an A-bomb museum, an epicentre column as well as a replacement for the Urakami Cathedral, which was levelled with the bomb and at the time was the largest church in Asia. Harrowing, but worth the reflection.
Pros:
Cons: Emotional. The fact it exists.
