Ogasawara Historical RemainsIn the dense mountain forest of the Ogasawara islands, there are many historical remains. Many historical remains around Japan have disappeared over time. They reflected the people’s lives during the war. |
Walking in Myoyama at NightFirst we headed to Myoyama located in the northern part of Chichijima. Of the many underground trenches, the communication corps headquarters was one of the biggest. One of its entrance supposedly had quadruple doors and people worked inside, tracing bomber planes and acted as a communication center for other islands such as Iojima in the south. Surprisingly, just a short distance away, canons still remain. They have been partially destroyed on purpose to prevent from being used, but it is a vivid sign of the calamity of war. |
Spreading the WordPeople of all ages participate in the tours, including people who come to Ogasawara for sightseeing, high school and college students on study tours, and local elementary students on field trips. During the tour, participants walk along cliffs, through bushes, look in the trenches using flashlights, making them wander about the people who had lived there during the war. |
