After visiting Hiroshima the week before, this peace park had a different feeling, primarily focusing on a future of peace, rather than focusing on preservation of buildings. This park was a place for serious reflection and provided hope. Although the peace statue was the center piece of the park, there were numerous statues donated by other countries. When we visited, there were lots of school groups and tourist groups. A beautiful fountain complemented the floral designs surrounding the statues. There isn't much shade in the park, so bring a hat and water.

There are a lot of different statues and monuments in the park, many donated by other countries. I recommend that you set enough time aside, so that you can walk through the park slowly and take it all in. It can get a bit crowded with tourists and school children.

OK, not as grand as Hiroshima, but worth a visit just to reflect. It is free entry making it a must do when you are near the Museum. For us, we saw a local resident place flowers on the site and reflect, hence it seems to be part of the Japanese psyche. It was very peaceful there and well supported by the rest of the world through statues. It is a place to wind down and be respectful after seeing the horrific hurt to the people and the wonderment that something so horrible had to happen to end the war.

The peace park is easy to get to and is free. There are a number of memorials from other countries. I think this park is slightly larger than the one in Hiroshima. Can get quite crowded with tours but plenty to see and contemplate. Worth visiting.

This is a place where in this crazy world you can let your thoughts go about what is happening there. There are some nice statues, a fountain and the place breathes peace. Actually just a park, but with the heavily burdened and horrible past everything comes with a different perspective.

Visited here as part of a full day exploring Nagasaki sites. The peace park is adjacent to the bomb museum, and an easy walk between the two. The addition of monuments contributed by sister cities around the world adds to the significance of the park. Worth seeing as part of the broader view of Nagasaki.
