Kinrin Lake

Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.

Chiran Peace Museum

The history of the airbase for Kamikaze pilots dates back to 1941, just before the Pacific War started, when a military flight school was established. As the Japanese situation worsened at the end of World War II, a ground war broke out in Okinawa, which became the front line in the defense of the mainland. A suicide attack operation was launched, and planes took off from here carrying bombs to ram into U.S. warships that appeared in the waters of Okinawa.
