Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba attended the ceremony on Wednesday, along with officials from around the world and the city's mayor Kazumi Matsui.
Matsui warned of a global "accelerating trend toward military build-up... [and] the idea that nuclear weapons are essential for national defence", saying this was a "flagrant disregard [of] the lessons the international community should have learned from the tragedies of history".
World War Two ended with Japan's surrender after the dropping of the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The bombs killed more than 200,000 people - some from the immediate blast and others from radiation sickness and burns.
The legacy of the weapons continues to haunt survivors today.
"My father was badly burned and blinded by the blast. His skin was hanging from his body - he couldn't even hold my hand," Hiroshima survivor Shingo Naito told the BBC. He was six years old when the bomb struck his city, killing his father and two younger siblings.
Mr Naito has been sharing his story with a group of students in Hiroshima, who are turning his memories of the tragedy into art.
In 2024, Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese group of atomic bomb survivors won the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
In a speech on Wednesday, mayor Matsui said that the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, was "on the brink of dysfunctionality".
He also called on the Japanese government to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons - an international agreement banning nuclear weapons that came into force in 2021.
More than 70 countries have ratified the treaty, but nuclear powers like the US and Russia have opposed it, pointing to the deterrence function of nuclear arsenals.
Japan has also rejected such a ban, arguing that its security is enhanced by US nuclear weapons.
The nuclear issue is a divisive one in Japan. On the streets leading up to the Peace Memorial Park, there were small protests calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Satoshi Tanaka, another atomic bomb survivor who suffered multiple cancers from radiation exposure, said that seeing the bloodshed in Gaza and Ukraine today conjures up his own suffering.
"Seeing the mountains of rubble, the destroyed cities, the children and women fleeing in panic, it all brings back memories of what I went through," he told the BBC. "We are living alongside nuclear weapons that could wipe out humanity multiple times over."
"The most urgent priority is to push the leaders of nuclear-armed countries. The people of the world must become even more outraged, raise their voices louder, and take massive action."

The film, about a fictional girl band who live a double life defending humanity from a supernatural threat, has become Netflix's most-watched animated film ever since its release in June.
Upbeat anthem Golden, one of the standout songs from its soundtrack, leapt three places to take the number one spot in the Official UK Singles Chart from Justin Bieber in this week's top 40.
Ejae, who co-wrote and performed the track, tells BBC Newsbeat she has been "honoured" by its success.
"It's like I'm surfing for the first time and a big wave just came through," she says.
"And I'm trying my best to get through it."
In the film, Golden is performed in the film by girl band HUNTR/X, consisting of Rumi, Mira and Zoey.
According to the Official Charts Company, it's the first K-pop single to top the UK chart since PSY's Gangnam Style in 2012.
Ejae, who provides the singing voice of Rumi, performs some of the soundtrack's songs and also co-wrote Your Idol, How It's Done and the Hunter's Mantra.
She tells Newsbeat ending up on the final recordings was an "organic process".
"I've been singing all the demos while writing the songs," she says.
"I guess we got used to me singing it. And they were like: 'Hey, do you want to sing?'
"I was just like: 'Why not?'"
Ejae says the outpouring of support has been "overwhelming".
She gained almost 100,000 Instagram followers in a month and says she's been getting used to the spotlight instead of "working behind the scenes".
The KPop Demon Hunters crew knew Golden was a "banger" when they wrote it, she says, but had no idea how huge it would become.
But Ejae has an idea as to why the song has captured so many fans.
"I think we're in a time right now where we need hope and people are wanting that," she says.
"And this song is very hopeful, it just lifts your voice and it's a very powerful song.
"I think maybe that's what people need right now."
HUNTR/X face off against demon boyband the Saja Boys in the movie - and their single Your Idol climbed to number 10 in this week's chart.
The Official Charts Company's editor Carl Smith tells Newsbeat it's a "sign of how popular K-pop is right now".
He says both songs are "amazing pop songs with great melodies" and the film allows fans to "visualise their new favourite band".
The last time an animated film soundtrack reached number one was when single We Don't Talk About Bruno, from Disney's Encanto, held the top spot for seven weeks in early 2022.
Carl thinks Golden could have similar staying power.
"It could possibly be the song of the summer," he says.
"I think its popularity transcends generations."
Katy, who runs K-pop site Hallyu Doing, tells Newsbeat the success of KPop Demon Hunters is exciting for UK fans.
"I'm seeing people who are not K-pop fans that have seen the movie and are now looking into K-pop artists for real that they want to go and see," she says.
Elsewhere in the charts, Drake and Central Cee scored the week's highest new entry with their collab Which One landing at number four.
And music from Ozzy Osbourne, whose funeral was held in Birmingham this week, continued to climb the charts after his death.
Black Sabbath's Paranoid climbed 12 places to the top 20, while Ozzy's solo track Crazy Train hit number 25 - its highest-ever position in the UK.

it was Brian Wood's next animated short after Mr. Jessop, Wood would later create "The Cramp Twins" in 2001. This short, which illustrates different points of views of high school students. This short is definitely one of Wood's more mature pieces, it shows his ability to adapt slice of life events to animation. It even feels reminiscent of those nights of attending such school discos as well the club scene of the 90s. This was probably the influence behind the Cramp Twins episode "Dance Pants"; infact you'll find alot of resemblance to that show in the character design.

Louisa Dunne, 75, was found strangled on her living room floor by a neighbour on Britannia Road in Easton, Bristol, on 28 June 1967.
Convicted rapist Ryland Headley, of Clarence Road in Ipswich, has now been found guilty of Mrs Dunne's murder following a trial at Bristol Crown Court.
Senior investigating officer Det Insp Dave Marchant said Headley, who was in his 30s when he killed Mrs Dunne, had left "a legacy of misery and pain".
Despite the efforts of police investigating Mrs Dunne's death 58 years ago, no key suspect was identified.
Police collected about 19,000 prints from men and boys at the time with no success. They also made about 8,000 house-to-house inquiries and took 2,000 statements.
It was only when the case was re-examined by Avon and Somerset Police decades later that DNA testing of a swab that contained semen was linked to Headley.
Det Insp Marchant called him a "dangerous serial offender" with a "shocking and abhorrent history" and said there was a sense of "gravity" when police were told of the positive result.
"This is a marrying of old school and new school policing techniques," he said.
Det Insp Marchant added it was believed to be the oldest cold case solved in the UK.
Mrs Dunne had been twice widowed and lived alone, but was well-known in the local area.
Headley was accused of forcing entry into her home before sexually attacking her and then strangling her.
The night of her death, neighbours reported hearing a woman's "frightening scream".
Det Insp Marchant said a neighbour was first alerted to something unusual happening when the paper they left for Mrs Dunne was not taken in on the morning of 28 June 1967.
After Headley's arrest, fingerprint experts compared his palm print to one collected from the rear window of Mrs Dunne's home, which matched Headley's.
He previously admitted breaking into the homes of two widows, aged 84 and 79, and raping them in Suffolk in October 1977, in crimes police described as "eerily similar".
Trevor Mason, a Special Branch detective in Suffolk drafted in to assist in the 1977 cases, described Headley as "worse than an animal".
Speaking to Channel 4 News, Mr Mason said what the women had suffered was "absolutely horrendous", adding Headley's victims were "obviously frail" and "didn't stand a chance".
Headley had denied both the rape and murder of Mrs Dunne after being charged in November 2024. He is set to be sentenced for both crimes on Tuesday.

It tells the adventures of a very intellectual and well-meaning (but occasionally mischievous) schoolgirl from London who loves to draw, and her escapades accompanied by her best friend, Dennis. Using the magic crayons that she always carries with her, she brings everything that she ever draws to life, to either help them on their adventures or to get them out of tricky situations, and usually creating a world of chaos until it is either erased or washed away.

King Charles got a rousing reception when he took to the stage and, on a night of family memories, his speech began with a reference to his own family.
“It is now 80 years since my grandfather, King George VI, announced to the nation and the Commonwealth that ‘the dreadful shadow of war has passed from our hearths and our homes’. The liberation of Europe was secured,” the King told the audience at the VE Day concert.
And he picked up the family theme by remembering the experiences of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who, as a 19-year-old, had gone out into the crowds in London on the night of VE Day in 1945.
The King said her diary had recorded “how she mingled anonymously in the crowds across central London and ‘walked for miles’ among them.”
“The rejoicing continued into the next day, when she wrote: ‘Out in the crowd again. Embankment, Piccadilly. Rained, so fewer people. Conga-ed into House. Sang till 2 am. Bed at 3 am!’”
The King joked he might not have the energy to sing until 2am or conga back to Buckingham Palace.

The King and senior royals watched on as a war-time Lancaster bomber led the 23-strong formation including Typhoons and the Red Arrows with their red, white and blue smoke trail.
Following Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022, this year is the first landmark VE Day commemoration without any of the royals who stood on the balcony that day, 80 years ago.
The King is overseeing the Victory in Europe (VE Day) events, which span four days, and earlier included a military procession watched by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.
At noon, the ceremony began with a recitation of Winston Churchill's famous VE Day speech by actor Timothy Spall.
The King and Queen were then joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to watch a military procession through the capital on Monday. Other events are also taking place across the country.
The military procession, involving more than 1,300 people made its way from Parliament Square to Buckingham Palace.
The King stood and saluted as the procession reached the Queen Victoria Memorial.
Before the procession arrived, cadets and scouts watching on cheered and waved to the royal family from the paths nearby.
VE Day was declared on 8 May 1945, after Britain and its allies formally accepted Nazi Germany's surrender after almost six years of war.
At 15:00, the then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced WW2 in Europe had come to an end.
Spontaneous celebrations erupted across the country, and the late queen and her sister Princess Margaret joined a group of friends to experience the excitement in London.
On Monday morning, the excitement began early for Maria and Chris Naynor and their three grandchildren, who left their home in Reading at 05:30 BST to get a prime spot along the Mall - armed with cream tea and gin and tonics.
Chris's father served in the armed forces and was wounded in Dunkirk, and his mother was out celebrating on the streets of London on VE Day in 1945.
Maria said it was critical to remember "all the people who gave their lives for freedom" and teach children about it.
To mark the historic event, the Cenotaph in Whitehall has been draped in a large Union flag - the first time the war memorial has been draped in Union flags since it was unveiled by King George V more than a century ago, in 1920.
Watching from the Mall, Grace Gothard, from Mitcham, made her Union Jack dress draped with the Ghanian flag while Satvinder Cubb, from Chingford made a frock made from two "Lest we forget" scarves.
Satvinder said they wanted to be in the capital to remember all the people "who fought for us", as the last generation of WW2 veterans were growing older.
She described the message of VE Day as bringing together people from different countries and different age groups to say "why don't we unite together? Why can't there be peace?"
Elsewhere, street parties will be held across the UK, with some councils such as Portsmouth waiving fees to close roads for the celebrations.
The Palace of Westminster, the Shard and Lowther Castle in Penrith are among buildings which will be illuminated from 21:00 BST on Tuesday.
A service at Westminster Abbey will begin with a national two-minute silence of remembrance on Thursday. Churches and cathedrals across the country will also ring their bells at 18:30 BST.
Pubs and bars in England and Wales which usually close at 23:00 BST will be able to keep serving for an extra two hours to celebrate on Thursday.
