It was called new type bomb.
The New Type Bomb Control Committee was launched by the Japanese government on August 9, 1945.
At the same time, the government summarized basic guidance how to cope with the new type bomb on the day. It was announced through the national papers on the next day. As far as I read several papers, general guidance was like this -
1. Evacuate into the shelter.
(Tunnel type is more effective than pit type)
2. Wear white clothes before evacuating to the shelter.
If not available, wear any clothes to hide your skin.
(Make sure to wear gloves, socks and hood too)
3. Don't expose your skin to the air during evacuation.
(Hide behind a building if no shelter nearby)
4. Pay attention to the government's future guidance as it will be revised situation by situation.
"Tunnel type is effective. Be careful about burn. etc."
"Don't expose skin. No need to change conventional air defense system. Make your shelter more sturdy.
"Wear white clothes and evacuate to the shelter. If you find a parachute bomb, that's it."
Docs for approval of the committee dated August 9, 1945

A trivia relating to the new type bomb -
Mikhail Ivanov (1912-2014) for the Ivanov's cup in Russia.
On August 16 and 17 1945, Ivanov stepped in the soil of Hiroshia and Nagasaki to research the scale of explosion together with his colleague German Sergeev as GRU intelligence staff of the Soviet Union Embassy in Tokyo. On the way from Tokyo in the train, he drank up a bottle of whiskey while Sergeev didn't.
In Hiroshima, they sniffed around the melted stones which produced weird odor to make them feel sick.
Sergeev died of leukemia later but Ivanov didn't. Soviet authorities wondered what caused such difference. Final answer was the whiskey.
So, a cup of whiskey for a nuclear submariner in Russia is called Ivanov's cup.

D'you think they make their own voice-generated sound effects?
Perhaps they get into arguments about who shot who? "You're dead! I shot you!!" "No you didn't. Missed me by a mile." Etc, etc...

This operation began on August 18, 1945 - 3 days after the Japan's cease fire with the Allies.
Still controversial between the two countries.
