Peace Museum for "Kamikaze" Pilots, Chiran. JP

Last edited by leeG : 09-08-2007 at 03:58 PM.
Here is the brochure from the Peace Museum for "Kamikaze" Pilots in Chiran Cho. Chiran is located on the south end of the southern main Japanese Island, Kyushu. The atmosphere inside the museum is very solemn and no photography is allowed. It's off the main tourist circuit, so there in very little in English in the museum. They do not appear to get many western visitors. It features a lot of photos and letters of the pilots. There is a Ki 61, Ki 84 and most of a Zero inside the museum.






This Hayabusa is displayed outside the museum.



Here is a photo of the Hotaru, the tea house many of the Chiran pilots frequented.
