Japanese Peace Pagoda Unawatuna, Sri Lanka Last Updated: 04/01/2026 |
| Nestled among the trees of the Unawatuna rainforest and visible from across the water from the historic Galle Fort in Galle Bay is “Sama Ceitya,” one of four Japanese peace temples found in Sri Lanka. The temple serves as a symbol of peace for Sri Lanka, a predominantly Buddhist country, but its graceful, rounded design aims to represent harmony among people of all social classes. | |
| Located on Rummasala Hill, the temple was built with the support of Japanese Buddhist monks in 2005 (when Sri Lanka was still in the midst of a devastating civil war) as part of a plan to build peace temples in conflict zones. | |
