Visiting Heiwadai Park, Miyazaki

On the second day, we went to some sightseeing spots such as Shiroyama Viewpoint in Kagoshima.

First we went to Heiwadai Park in Miyazaki city. The city park is located on a hill at an altitude of 60 meters, with seasonal flowers and greens in the park. 

We parked a car in the first parking lot in front of the lawn. We walked for a few minutes and came to the Heiwadai (平和台) Tower. The word Heiwa (平和) means peaceful in Japanese. The Tower of peace, also known as the Hakko ichu monument, was completed in November 1940. 

There is an observatory on the top floor where you can see the best view of the city and the Pacific Ocean.

After that we went to the Haniwa Garden next to the Heiwadai Tower. 

Going down the stairs, we finally got to see Haniwa clay figures. 

A collection of warrior figures in the garden. More than 400 burial statues from all over Japan are on display.
