The Peace
Memorial Park is built on Mabuni, the last scene of heavy fighting between
the Japanese and US armies in the Battle of Okinawa. Tens of thousands
of civilians and Japanese soldiers met their tragic end in this battle.
In the park, there are many shrines commemorating the war dead such as
the Cornerstone of Peace (Heiwa-no-ishiji), the Peace Museum, and the
Peace Memorial Hall. An annual memorial service for all the war dead in
Okinawa is held in this park every 23rd of June-the day the Battle of
Okinawa ended.Peace Memorial Park Related Contents
