Itinéraire

  1. The museum is dedicated to the memory of the kamikaze pilots who took part in the suicide missions during the final stages of World War II. One of the most notable features of the Chiran Peace Museum is its collection of personal artifacts, letters, and photographs from the kamikaze pilots, many of whom were in their late teens or early twenties.  The museum also has a section where visitors can learn about the impact of the kamikaze attacks on both the pilots and the people they were fighting against. Additionally, the museum provides information on the historical context of the kamikaze phenomenon and its place in Japan's wartime strategy. It is part of a broader effort to remember and reflect on the human cost of war, while promoting peace and the importance of preventing future conflicts. It offers a somber and educational experience, with a focus on the sacrifices made by the pilots, and it encourages visitors to think critically about the horrors of war.

About Kagoshima

Kagoshima, in southern Kyushu, faces the smoking volcano of Sakurajima across a bay, with a samurai past, hot springs and sweet-potato spirits.

Kagoshima stands on a bay in southern Kyushu, with the active volcano Sakurajima rising from the water just across from the city. A short ferry ride crosses the bay, and a lava flow in the 1914 eruption joined the former island to the mainland. Ash sometimes drifts over the city, which has long been used to it.
