During World War II, Chiran was a base for kamikaze pilots and this museum displays photos and letters of the pilots. The museum was founded in 1975. In Japanese, English headsets available.
The airbase at Chiran, Minamikyūshū, on the Satsuma Peninsula of Kagoshima, Japan, served as the departure point for hundreds of Special Attack or kamikaze sorties launched in the final months of World War II. A peace museum dedicated to the pilots, the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots , now marks the site.
