Introduction

Peace Osaka (Osaka International Peace Center) sits in Osaka Castle Park as a peace museum centred on the Osaka air raids. Exhibits, footage and a library convey citizens' wartime experiences, and the 'Garden of Time' mourns air-raid victims and prays for peace; a 160-seat hall screens films and hosts talks. Opened in 1991 and re-opened in 2015, it is key to Osaka's modern history and peace education.
