Japantown Peace Plaza

The Japantown Peace Plaza is a great place to rest your feet after exploring the neighborhood.

There are benches to sit down on and greenery to admire. However, the main attraction is the Peace Pagoda, which has stood in the plaza since 1968. The Peace Plaza is currently undergoing renovations, which are scheduled for completion in late 2025 or early 2026.

  • The five-tier Peace Plaza was created and gifted to San Francisco in the mid-1960s by Osaka, San Francisco’s sister city in Japan. It was inspired by a series of pagodas that exists in the Japanese city of Nara and is a symbol of goodwill and friendship.
