Activity itinerary

Chiran Peace Museum
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
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.
