Tunnel Fortifications of Imperial Japan on Sarabong Peak, Jeju

Built around 1945, this facility was constructed by the Japanese military to make a first stand against Allied forces landing on Jeju's northern coast, and to defend Jeju's eastern airfield (Jindeureu Airfield) and western airfield (Jeongtteureu Airfield, now Jeju International Airport). It consists of eight tunnel positions, including C-shaped and straight-line layouts with two entrances each, and Y-shaped layouts with three entrances. As one of the Japanese military's installations of the Japanese colonial period, it illustrates the history of invasion in which the Japanese military, driven onto the defensive in the closing stages of the Pacific War, turned Jeju Island into a base of resistance.
