World Peace Pagoda, Buddhist temple and war memorial in Moji-ku, Japan.
The cylindrical white pagoda rises 27 meters high with a diameter of 13 meters, featuring a diamond pinnacle and crystal decorations at its summit.
The pagoda, inaugurated in September 1958, stands as a memorial structure to remember the individuals who perished during World War II.
This Myanmarese-style pagoda contains a seated Buddha figure and memorial tablets, while Buddhist monks perform sutra chanting sessions twice each day.
The memorial structure welcomes visitors at 3251-4 Oaza-Moji in Kitakyushu City, with direct access from the Mojiko Retro district.
The structure represents the only Myanmarese architectural design among all Japanese pagodas, resulting from cooperation between Myanmar's Buddhist association and Japanese volunteers.
