The Peace Memorial Ceremony has been held on a smaller scale since 2020 due to the worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (hereafter referred to as COVID-19). However, in light of COVID-19’s reclassification, effective as of May 8, 2023, the ceremony will be held on the same scale as in previous years before the reduction in scale (details below).

Ceremony scale

  • Approximately 7,000 seats will be available.
  • In addition, the ceremony will be simultaneously broadcast at the Phoenix Hall and Himawari conference hall of the International Conference Center Hiroshima, with approximately 2,200 indoor seats available.

Participants

  • Please see (1) for the proposed list of primary invited guests. We currently do not have concrete numbers available, as we will be adjusting the number of those invited at a later date.
  • Seats for certified hibakusha, bereaved families of hibakusha, and the general public will be unassigned and available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the ceremony. Unlike the previous year, we will not be accepting advance applications.
