Since the G7 Hiroshima Summit has been a problem at the Atomic Bomb Museum in Hiroshima City due to the increase in the number of visitors, the city has introduced a system that allows users to purchase tickets on the Internet on a trial basis in order to alleviate congestion, and it was found that the exhibition is being coordinated to be distributed to other facilities during particularly busy periods.
The Atomic Bomb Museum in Hiroshima City has already exceeded the number of visitors this year, with more than 7.10 million visitors this year as of October, due to the recovery of school trip students as the impact of the new coronavirus has subsided,
and
the number of foreign tourists has increased since the G127 Hiroshima Summit.
For this reason, there was a queue of people waiting to enter the museum even on weekdays, and in August, there was a waiting time of up to 8 hours, and complaints such as "I gave up entering the museum because of the queue" were received.
According to the officials, in order
to alleviate congestion, Hiroshima City has introduced a system on a trial basis that allows people to purchase tickets that take a long time to sell at the window in the museum on the Internet, and ▽ extended the opening hours by one hour before and after the current time,
so that only people with online reservations can enter the museum.
In addition, efforts are being considered to display the ticket sales status on the Internet so that visitors can be checked and disperse.
In addition, since it is particularly crowded in August, we are coordinating to disperse and display materials related to the atomic bombing at the National Peace Memorial Hall, which is also located in the same peace park.
Hiroshima City hopes to implement such congestion measures as early as this fiscal year.
