Nagasaki Peace Park
A park spreads on the hill in Matsuyama-town, Nagasaki-city. At 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the bomb was dropped over this park. This park was established in 1951 to learn about the threat of an atomic bomb, to pray for the souls of victims, and to wish for eternal world peace.
The park is peaceful and serene, but you can still feel the sadness of its history. I hope the victims rest in peace.
