in august 1945 a b29 was launched to attack the city of Hiroshima, it was carrying a atomic bomb which could destroy a city in seconds. it was dropped one on hiroshima and nagasaki with each one killing around 50,000 each the japanese knew they couldnt keep fighting while america had the a-bombs it also saved the lives of the americans who would have died trying to invade Japan

Addition: the previous answer is more of a WHY did Japan surrender. As for WHERE, the official ceremony took place aboard the USS Missouri on 2nd September 1945, but telegrams were sent announcing that Japan would surrender on August 10.
