Quietly nestled near the northern tip of Tsushima City, the Toyo Battery Ruins is a monumental relic of one of the world’s largest buried mega-batteries, constructed in the early Showa period by bringing together the highest engineering skills of the time. Because it welcomed the end of the war without ever being fired in actual combat, it now sleeps completely intact underground, accompanied by an eerie silence as the “battery that was never used.” Stepping into the massive concrete circular domes and labyrinthine underground passages, a chilly air and unique heaviness drift about, overwhelming international military buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. This hidden masterpiece allows you to quietly reflect upon wartime history and the value of peace, immersing yourself in deep contemplation far removed from modern daily life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
