Peace Park

 

Peace Park was established in 1955 near the Ground Zero where the Atomic bomb was

dropped at 11:02 am on Aug. 09, 1945.  Peace Memorial Ceremony is held in front of the

statue on August 9 every year and the Mayor of Nagasaki makes the “Nagasaki peace

declaration” for the whole world.
