Area Around the Former Zakoba-cho District


Near the end of World War Ⅱ, building demolition was undertaken throughout the city to clear away wooden structures to prevent the spread of fires caused by air attacks. The work was carried out by many mobilized students from national elementary schools, girls' schools, as well as the Volunteer army Corps comprised of neighborhood groups and office workers. On the day the atomic bomb was dropped, August 6, 1945, about 2,500 students were working in Zakoba-cho(currently:Kokutaiji-machi 1 chome), where most of their lives were tragically sacrificed.
