Mahatma Gandhi Statue
About
Located just a short walk south of the Peace Memorial Park, this bronze bust of Mahatma Gandhi was gifted by the Government of India in 2004 as a symbol of shared aspirations for world peace. It is a quiet, contemplative spot that connects the peace movements of India and Japan, offering a unique perspective on global non-violence. Visitors can expect a brief, meaningful stopover to pay respects in a shaded, less-crowded riverside setting.
Insider Tip
Combine this with a stroll along the Motoyasu River; it is located right next to the Shirakami-sha shrine, making for a peaceful detour.
