Short answer is no, if you want to know the whole story here it is.
The Target Committee for the Atomic Bombs had chosen five targets based on numerous factors. These factors included: the city needed to be three miles in diameter, the city needed to be capable of being efficiently damaged by the blast, the target needed to be untouched by previous bombing missions, and the target had to have a large psychological effect on the Japanese.
The targets that were decided on were Kyoto, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Kokura Arsenal, and Niigata. The idea of bombing the Emperor's Palace was talked about, but the decision was made not to recommend it. Kyoto was a one million strong industrial center that was growing as refugees from other cities came to it, because of this it was determined to be the first choice for bombing. Hiroshima was a large army depot and port as well as the surrounding hills would amplify the effect of the blast making this a great choice as number two. Yokohama was an urban industrial area that made aircrafts, tools, docks, and electronics. It was a good target but a large body of water in-between high priority targets made it only number three on the list. Kokura Arsenal was one of the largest Japanese arsenals, and it had the bonus of being surrounded by industrial complexes. It was target number four. Niigata was a port city that was becoming more important to the Japanese as other ports were destroyed; with the added bonus of oil storage around the port it made a good target coming in at number five.
Kyoto was removed from the list by Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Hiroshima became first on the list and was bombed on August 6, 1945. Three targets remained on the list; until, to replace the removed Kyoto, Nagasaki was added to the list. Nagasaki was a shipbuilding city with a military port, but it had previously been bombed so it was decided that the primary target for the second bomb would be the Kokura Arsenal with Nagasaki as the secondary target. Once the bombers got over the Kokura Arsenal it was discovered that the city was coved by clouds. After three passes it was decided to go to the secondary target: Nagasaki. On August 9, 1945 Nagasaki was bombed.
