It is above 182 meters high, the Peace Tower Pl is located on a hill in the boundaries of the greater metropolitan area of Osaka. Built in 1970 using the most modern technologies of the time, the tower can also be seen from the nearby city of Kobe. The work is an inter-religious monument dedicated to the souls of all men were victims of armed conflicts and wars. It is a place where you can go to reflect on the absurdity of war and pray for peace in the world.
