"When the atomic bomb exploded on August 9, 1945, thousands of people suffered terrible burns and died begging for water. Nagasaki City and the Nation: ' Council for World Peace and the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons constructed this "Fountain of Peace" with donations received from all over Japan, and dedicated it as an offering of water to the victims of the atomic bomb and a prayer for the repose of their souls. It is our ardent wish that you will remember the departed victims whilst visiting this fountain, and that you will join us in striving for world peace"

The fountain of peace is dedicated as a water offering to the spirits of the atomic bomb victims, thousands of whom suffered terrible burns and died scrambling for a drink of water. The water spray from the fountain is shaped like a pair of wings, evoking images of the peace dove and the crane, the symbol of Nagasaki Harbor which is also known as Crane Harbor.

Although the fountain is nothing spectacular, it’s surrounded by other lovely pieces of artwork donated by cities around the world that is worth checking out. I came here on a weekday afternoon and it was peaceful and not crowded. The peace park itself I believe I spent around a good 30 mins before heading to the atomic bomb museum.

The Fountain of Peace in Nagasaki Peace Park is a serene monument commemorating the atomic bombing victims. Built in 1969, it features two wings symbolizing peace and flows with water representing eternal peace. It's a place for reflection and a poignant reminder of the importance of peace. 🕊️💧🌸

Worth a visit before or after you visit the atomic bomb museum. Very nice fountain and park in good weather, and nice place for relaxing a bit and taking in all of the impressions from the museum.

原爆で亡くなった人を追悼する趣旨はよい。しかし、この噴水そのものからは何も伝わってこない。公園には噴水がつきもののレベルにとどまっている。長崎市の単なる観光地整備ではないかと疑ってしまう。 原爆の被害のひとつは熱線によるやけどだ。このため、原爆で傷ついた多くの人たちが水を求めた。この噴水の石板には、「のどがかわいてたまりませんでした。水にはあぶらのようなものが一面に浮いていました。どうしても水が欲しくて、とうとうあぶらの浮いたまま水を飲みました」と少女の手記が刻まれている。ここでは、この石板を見るだけで十分だ。本来なら星ひとつだが、この石板が星ふたつ。 この手記に書かれたことを表現した噴水にしてほしかった。 8月9日にここで開かれる平和祈念式典では、毎年、祭壇に水をたむける。長崎市を囲む山の湧水のほか、この噴水の水もくまれる。しかし、ここの水をくむのは安易すぎる。 また、石碑の前に、1円玉や5円玉が投げ入れられている。投げた人は、どういう気持ちなんだろう? 理解できない。 早朝は、写真のように噴水が出ていない。これも、観光客用だということをにおわせている。追悼のためなら、時間に関係ないのでは?
