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.
The Peace Fountain reminds us of the tragic scene unfolded shortly after America dropped the
Atomic bomb in Nagasaki at 11:02 am on Aug. 09, 1945.
