IKOMA, Nara -- Elementary schoolchildren in this western Japan city virtually rode an atomic bombed streetcar running through the city of Hiroshima on Feb. 16 as part of a "school trip."
Some 155 students in the sixth grade at Ikoma Municipal Asukano Elementary School virtually traveled on Hiroshima Electric Railway Co.'s Type 650 No. 651 streetcar, which suffered damage in the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing but is still running.
