Heiwadai Park — Peace Tower and Haniwa Garden
Heiwadai Park features the Peace Tower (平和の塔) — a 37-meter stone monument built in 1940 to commemorate the 2,600th anniversary of Emperor Jimmu's mythical founding of Japan. The tower is constructed from stones donated from all over Japan and Japanese territories at the time (including Korea, Taiwan, and Manchuria), making it a complicated historical artifact.
The park also contains a 'Haniwa Garden' — 400+ modern clay haniwa (ancient burial figures) replicas arranged on a hillside, creating a surreal archaeological theme park.
