2. Unconditional Surrender
5.535 ReviewsNo.9 of Best Things to Do in San Diego
旅の径On the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful port of San Diego, the water and sky are one color, and the scenery is picturesque. The most eye-catching landscape is the "Kiss of Victory" sculpture on the seashore.
At noon on August 15, 1945 (August 14, local time in the United States), Emperor Hirohito of Japan broadcast to all of Japan, announcing his acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration and unconditional surrender to the Allies.
The news soon spread to the United States, and New Yorkers took to the streets. Times Square was crowded with people celebrating the victory of the war and the advent of peace. A sailor couldn't help hugging a female nurse who he had never met and kissed her to express his inner joy. Alfred Eisenstaedt, a photographer for the American Life magazine, seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and took a picture of the exciting kiss.
This photo of a sailor and a female nurse kissing, named "Kiss of Victory", has become a classic handed down from generation to generation.
The "Kiss of Victory" statue, which was made based on a photo, was installed in Tuna Harbor Park in San Diego Harbor in February 2007, and is located next to the USS Midway aircraft carrier across the water.
Beside the azure sea and the green trees, the 7.62-meter (25-foot) tall statue is elegant and lifelike. An endless stream of tourists pose and take photos, sharing the joy of victory...San Diego1.7 km from downtownFree entry

M32***23On the green lawn of the military port of San Diego stands a huge sculpture of the "Kiss of the Century", which is a handsome sailor affectionately kissing young nurses, deduced the ecstasy of the American people after the war. [Fun] This sculpture is moving, such a romantic and affectionate sculpture, no matter how old or young, will stop and look up, take a photo with this sculpture. From the sculpture itself, there is nothing special, and the artistic conception is not ingenious, but from the effect of sculpture creation, the "kiss of the century" is poured for the world, the history is condensed in the fixed grid, the romance highlights the times, and the taste is in the past. [Cost-effective] This kind of sculpture is really rare, it can be called a classic.San Diego2.9 km from downtownFree entry

Closes at 19:009. Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum
3.610 Reviewsbased on 384 reviews西溪老翁San Diego Japan Friendship Park (Japanese Friendship Garden San Diego). There are Japanese parks in many cities in the United States. These Japanese parks are a bit similar and are also messengers to spread Japanese culture, increase Americans' understanding of Japan, and enhance the friendship between the two countries. Japanese parks are not big, but they have distinctive Japanese characteristics and are very delicate. San Diego Japan Friendly Park is in Balboa park in San Diego. San Diego and Yokohama are sister cities, so the park has become a symbol of friendship between the two cities. It is a bit different from Seattle, which has the oldest Japanese park in the United States. (The Japanese garden in Seattle was built with active fundraising from local Japanese people.) In 1999, the famous Japanese architect Takeo Uesugi completed the design of the Friendship Park, but it was not until 2015 that all his architectural ideas were implemented. Uesugi's design concept is fully guided by the principle of returning to the truth: Quqiao flowing water, stone lanterns, Japanese maples, pine trees, rhododendrons, teahouses, etc. Entering the park, immediately lamenting the Japanese ingenuity and love for nature.San Diego1.8 km from downtown
