Peace Tower, Stone monument in Heiwadai Park, Miyazaki, Japan
The 36.4-meter-tall Peace Tower features stones gathered from different regions across Asia, forming a cylindrical structure in Heiwadai Park.
Built in 1940 to commemorate Emperor Jimmu, the Peace Tower initially displayed the inscription 'Hakko Ichiu' until its removal by United States authorities.
The Peace Tower initiated the torch relay for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, marking a shift from its imperial symbolism to a message of unity.
Visitors can reach the Peace Tower by taking a 30-minute bus ride from Miyazaki Station to the Heiwadai Koen Resthouse-mae stop.
The tower creates an acoustic effect where clapping from the center of the lawn results in a magnified sound reflection back to the source.
