In order to pray for such a suffering soul and offer a clear spring, to pray for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the eternal peace of the world, this fountain of peace was built. The fountain symbolizes the wings of the dove and the crane.

Many people who visit the park fold their prayers for peace into paper cranes and dedicate the paper cranes to the tower. Thousands of paper cranes expressed people's sincere wishes for world peace.
