Heiwa Park was developed through a large-scale land readjustment project after the war. In the course of this work, many cemeteries within Nagoya were relocated into the park. Today it is known as one of the city's foremost cherry-blossom spots and stands among the largest urban green spaces in the country. Its name was chosen in reference to "peace."
