Nagasaki Peace Park

平和公園

Nagasaki Peace Park is on a low hill to the north of the hypocenter of the atomic bomb. It was built to pray for world peace and to remember the victims. The 9.7-meter Peace Statue stands here: its raised right hand points to the threat of atomic weapons, and its left arm shows the wish for peace. The park also has the Fountain of Peace and monuments from many countries.

Tips for Muslim visitors

  • Every year on August 9, the anniversary of the atomic bombing, a peace memorial ceremony is held in front of the Peace Statue, so expect the park to be busy that day.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
  • Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
  • Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Nagasaki and the verified places to pray nearby.
  • Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
