"Remains of shrine archway"
Most Japanese Shinto shrines are approached through torii, or large arches that act somewhat as gateways. Only half of this torii is present, as the other half was blown away by the atomic bomb blast. Interestingly, the half that is missing was the half that was facing the location of the blast, leading many to theorize that it protected the other side. The location is actually 900 meters from the hypocenter, making it possible for visitors to easily walk there from Hypocenter Park.
