Nagasaki: Peace Park Wishing for World Peace

Although I have not experienced war myself, I believe it is essential for Japan to continue conveying past experiences to future generations and wishing for peace through places like Peace Park. The atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to the end of the war. Despite becoming a defeated nation, I felt grateful for being able to live in peace now as I looked at the park's monuments. The right hand of the Peace Statue pointing upwards symbolizes the threat of the atomic bomb, while the left hand stretched out horizontally represents peace. It was a day that made me reflect on what peace truly means through my travels.
