Love Lock Monument, Monument for romantic gestures in Suwayama Park, Japan.
The Love Lock Monument features dedicated metal structures where visitors attach padlocks to symbolize their relationships and commitments.
The monument, established on December 9, 2004, emerged from a tradition of placing locks on Venus Bridge in Kobe.
The monument integrates modern expressions of romance with traditional Japanese practices of displaying affection through physical symbols.
The monument remains accessible throughout day and night, with a 15-minute taxi ride from Shin-Kobe Station or Sannomiya Station.
Reinforced steel structures with metal cables prevent damage to traditional railings while maintaining the lock attachment tradition.
