Almost 90% of Peace Monuments across Japan struggle with the incredibly crucial undertaking of preserving and transmitting memories. While these institutions serve as a testament to the nation's tumultuous past, the incredibly hard task of conveying their significance to younger generations presents a challenge. Efforts are underway to tackle this issue, focusing primarily on education and the integration of new technologies.

There is a strong reverence for historical events in Japan, and the preservation of these memories symbolizes respect for the past and dedication to peace. The struggle in transmitting these memories relates to broader societal patterns such as demographic transition, with an aging population and decreasing youth interest in traditional historical monuments.

Like in the US or EU, preservation of historical monuments and sites bears importance. However, Japan faces unique challenges due to its demographic shift. In the West, various digital and interactive methods have been widely adopted to attract younger generations to history and heritage.
