TOKYO -- The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum will begin selling tickets online to ease long waiting times, as the site commemorating the atomic bombing of the city in World War II draws visitors from both Japan and overseas.

City officials said in a statement that congestion at the museum has become increasingly noticeable since the Group of Seven summit took place in Hiroshima last May and stoked interest in the site.
