A bunker that tells us valuable stories of wartime, with traces of hand digging done day and night by about 3,000 soldiers spending five months, holes made by hand grenades that were used to commit suicide, and letters left on the wall by the commander-in-chief.
The glimpse of the living conditions of the soldiers in bunkers, especially when the war worsened, the history of the "Memorial Tower" built by the Okinawan civilians, and the “Peace Museum” that displays the items of those times, where you can learn the history of the war, help you realize once again the folly of war and the value of peace. The access is convenient from Naha Airport and the expressway, and the museum is open on all days throughout the year with tours even during rainy weather. Being equipped with wheelchairs and free parking, the museum facilitates barrier-free, safe, and secure tours. Guided tours of the museum are also provided for groups such as MICE, upon request.
Foreign visitors can also take part in our Origami Program where you can learn to fold paper cranes.
