Battery Ruins on the Island of War

Fortress standing at the crossroads of the century

The "battery ruins" in Mitsushima-cho, Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, played an important role in defending Asahi Bay as the smoke of the Russo-Japanese War approached. This battery, located in a strategic position on the island, once pointed its guns at warships.

Traces of fierce battles carved on the mountainside

After the hardships of transporting materials, a gentle mountain path was developed. Upon reaching the summit, one can see the shape of the cannon pointing into the ground. These traces seem to tell the story of the tense atmosphere of that time.

Surrounded by the majestic view of peace

However, now the battery ruins offer a tranquil view. The sea reflecting the shadow of the island, and the green mountains. The beauty of nature here surpasses the war clouds, deeply touching the heart. A moment of peace lingers here.
