Torii are gates or arches of stone that traditionally form the entrance to Japanese temples. This one in Nagasaki stands on only one vertical pillar or leg because the other was blown away by atomic blast that destroyed most of the city in 1945. The torii is an easy walk from the Hypocenter Park.

The hypocentre cenotaph marks the location where the Atomic Bomb was detonated August 1945. I think it detonated around 300m above the actual ground location of the cenotaph. The site is a short 5 minute walk from the Nagasaki Peace Park. It also has the piece of the nagasaki church which survived the bombing and was moved to this location as part of the memorial. ** Note: I am a bit disappointed that nagasaki council doesn't maintain this park a bit better, as you can see in my photos, there are a lot of weeds growing and lots of missing grass patches. Out of respect to those who died here, they should at least look after the place a bit better =(
