Chiran Peace Museum for Special Pilots (知覧特攻平和会館) 知覧特攻平和会館

From here 439 of the army's 1,036 kamikaze pilots took off, almost half of the total.

Chiran was one of the bases from which the special missions (特攻, tokkō) set out in the final phase of the Pacific War: about 439 army pilots took off from here, about 40% of the total of 1,036 fallen in the army's special missions. The nearby Peace Kannon Hall commemorates 1,028 fallen in all, from different bases.
