Product Info

  • Add a moment to learn about the history of Miyakojima to your trip of enjoying the sea and scenery. This is a fieldwork tour where you will walk with a guide through sites that preserve memories of wartime, such as artillery battery ruins, command post ruins, and underground bunker complexes. Solo travelers are welcome. Experience the atmosphere of the sites and the sense of distance between them, which are difficult to grasp from photos and text alone. Learn about the historical background, island life, and the impact left by the war through easy-to-understand explanations, and value the time to think while standing in these actual locations. Recommended for those who wish to deepen their understanding of Miyakojima while paying respect to historical sites. Photography is allowed, but due to the nature of the locations, please be considerate and act with moderation.
  • Learn the 'atmosphere' on-site
  • Experience the atmosphere and sense of distance of war sites by walking through them, which cannot be conveyed through text and photos alone. We will visit artillery battery ruins, command post ruins, and underground bunker complexes, while providing easy-to-understand explanations of the background and life at that time.
