【war-related site】Concealment Dugouts for Suicide Attack Boats in Ohama

On the left side of the road connecting the way to the Irabu Ohashi Bridge from Miyakojima are numerous bunkers. Here, we can see U-shaped and H-shaped dugouts tunneling through Ryukyu limestone. In the bunker remains stone-paved ground, set when tracks were laid to transport the suicide attack boats. These dugouts were constructed to conceal the suicide attack boats of the 30th Maritime Assault Squadron, however, because the squadron was wiped out at sea near Amami, these dugouts saw the end of the war without being put to use.
