शांति स्तूप (पीस ऑफ पैगोडा) का निर्माण जापान के प्रमुख बौद्ध धर्मावलंबी समूह के अध्यक्ष पूज्य भिक्षु निशिदात्सु फूजी गुरुजी ने करवाया था। इसका शिलान्यास तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति डॉ. सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन के द्वारा 1965 में तथा उद्घाटन तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति वीवी गिरि द्वारा 1969 में किया गया था।

The Vishwa Shanti Stupa Is Located On A 400 Metre High Hill. The Stupa Is Built In Marble And On The Four Corners Of The Stupa Are Four Glimmering Statues Of Buddha. To Reach The Top Of This Hill One Has To Come Through The “Ropeways”. This Place Is Also Called The Gridhakuta.
Vishwa Shanti Stupa is also called the Peace Pagoda. It is located at the highest point of Ratnagiri hill, at an altitude of 400 m in Rajgir, qualifying its serene charm as divine. Built completely with marble, the stupa comprises four golden statues of Lord Buddha, each representing his life periods of birth, enlightenment, preaching and death. There is a ropeway which helps tourists reach Vishwa Shanti Stupa atop Ratnagiri hill. The other way to reach this stupa is a serpentine staircase.
