A Special Experience through the Recovery and Future of Hiroshima

Tram 653 is an A-bombed train, which was heavily damaged by the atomic bomb near the Eba area on August 6, 1945, but was restored four months later and put back into operation. It ran in the city of Hiroshima until 2006, when it was retired from active service. In 2015, it was restored with the original colors it wore in 1945, as part of the commemorations of the 70th Anniversary of the A-bombing. Since then, it has been in special operation every year for a limited number of days after August 6th, the day of the A-bombing.
