2008 Japan Trip – Nagasaki Peace Park

Peace Park at Nagasaki, a memorial to the people who died due to the atomic bomb dropped here on August 9, 1945. It is an interesting memorial and garden. The hand on the statue pointing up is to show the bomb, the outstretched arm is a guarantee of peace.

I’m in peace park in nagasaki now and uh also looks like that there’s uh students here from a field trip and this is in peace park and after this i’m gonna actually go to the center of the atomic bomb where it dropped it’s just down the street

Here is a fountain at peace park in nagasaki and uh it’s a little bit different than the one in hiroshima i just walk from at that distance you can see the statue back that that way but after this i’m going to actually go to the hypo center where the bomb was

Actually dropped there’s a circular monument to show that just down the street this is actually the hypocenter of where the atomic bomb was dropped uh the monolith there in the middle signifies the actual epicenter of the explosion so that happened on august 9th of 1945. in fact nagasaki wasn’t the first target

For the atomic bomb it was actually uh kokura and uh the b-29 couldn’t get a very good visual lock in kokura so nagasaki was chosen as the secondary target to drop the bomb so this is slightly removed from peace park but definitely like two blocks away for as far as walking distance

But uh interesting that you know so many students come here every day it seems and uh they all wear their uniforms and the whole city’s rebuilt and bomb destroyed a third of it but just like hiroshima it’s been completely rebuilt into a modern city and uh you know the metaphor that’s sometimes

Used to represent that you know change for japan is you know a phoenix rising uh from the ashes statue is also at the center near the center of the atomic bomb and uh on the placard there it has the exact date and time when the bomb landed here

August 9th and the day after my birthday actually so it’s just uh you know a statue again to show the tragedy of the bomb blast here and uh lots of students traveling here and uh this is facing the epicenter this is uh the ground level at the time

Of the atomic bombing and you can still see uh some of the rubble preserved here actually it’s just uh pretty incredible some of the destruction you can actually see like plates and cups that are shattered in there it’s kind of hard to see but you can see him and then there’s uh

Somehow like the construction plans and this is what niasaki looked like after the blast it’s pretty pretty crazy considering this is a bustling city again so uh i’m here by myself right now so i just thought i would uh show the very hypocenter this is from the other side here

And this was actually a column of a church here that was destroyed during the blast and these columns still survive here this is actually relocated to here
