Heiwadai Park, Urban park on a hilltop in Miyazaki, Japan.

The park spreads across a 61-meter elevation, featuring a central 37-meter Peace Tower and a garden containing 400 haniwa statues along forest paths.

The park opened in 1939 to mark the 2600th anniversary of Emperor Jimmu's reign, with stones from different Asian regions integrated into the Peace Tower.

The collection of haniwa statues represents ancient burial practices, depicting warriors, animals, boats, and houses from Japan's Kofun period.

The park remains open 24 hours daily with free admission, accessible by bus from Miyazaki Station with a journey time of 20 to 30 minutes.

Visitors standing at the base of the Peace Tower can experience an acoustic phenomenon where their handclaps return as magnified echoes.
