The Hiroshima bomb exploded over what is now the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park; at the time it was the commercial and industrial centrer of the city.

There is a map on wikipedia that should help you. Some studies have show that it is practically impossible to locate the epicenter better than +/- 100 meters, probably because the fireball moved around that much in the first few seconds.
