Japanese Buddhists have deep feelings for Sri Lanka and based on their donations and architecture one of the finest Pagodas has been built between Galle and Unawatuna.
And on the way up to the Peace Pagoda visitors will also enjoy the the Rumassala Pagoda, which offers a fantastic view on the Bay of Galle.
After the tsunami the Peace Pagoda had become an even more admired venue and during all Sri Lankan festivals such as Vesak or on Full moon day wider parts of the local community are coming up to celebrate and to meditate above the the Bay of Galle on the words of Lord Buddha.
The view over Galle Bay is magnificent.
