What To Expect

Nagasaki Peace Park

The Nagasaki Peace Park (平和公園, Heiwa Kōen) is a tranquil space that commemorates the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, which destroyed a significant portion of the city and killed tens of thousands of inhabitants. The complex is comprised of two parks and a memorial museum. In the center of the complex is the Hypocenter Park with a simple, black monolith that marks the explosion's epicenter. Not far from it stands a damaged pillar of the former Urakami Cathedral which was destroyed in the blast. Furthermore, there is an area that allows visitors to take a look at a layer of soil below the park's surface where broken roof tiles, bricks and pieces of glass remain from the explosion.

Yoshi was a fantastic guide! She communicated with us before our trip to inquire what we wanted to see during our tour. Although it rained, we were able to visit some of the main attractions that Nagasaki is known for. I would definitely recommend Yoshi to anyone traveling to Nagasaki.
More than just visiting the sights
