A Tower of Respect for the Heroes Sunken in the Pacific

Opening Routes Between Rugged Islands

The memorial tower stands on rugged rocks facing the Pacific in the northeastern part of Kikai Island. It was built to commemorate the crew of the 2nd Gann-tai aircraft of the Japanese military, which sank off the island during transport to the Okinawa area in June 1944 due to enemy aircraft attacks.

Praying for Repose and Peace

Facing the vast waves of the Pacific, the tower is inscribed with "Here Lies the Spirits of the 2nd Gann-tai." The white memorial tower continues to pray for the repose of the crew despite enduring the wind and rain. Visitors may join their hands in remembrance of the fallen soldiers and pray for peace.

A Quiet Space of Prayer Surrounded by Nature

The path to the tower is unpaved, but the rich surrounding scenery gently welcomes visitors. The tranquil scene in front of the tower allows people to feel the gentle peace of nature while recalling the tragedies of war.
