hypocenter park
Nagasaki Hypocenter Park marks the exact location above which the atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. This park is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of nuclear weapons and serves as a symbol for peace and the hope that such a tragedy never occurs again. It features a black stone monolith at the hypocenter and is adjacent to the Nagasaki Peace Park, where the Peace Statue stands as a powerful call for the end of nuclear armament and the promotion of everlasting peace.
