Tunnel Fortifications of Imperial Japan on Seoubong Peak, Jeju

Built around 1945, this facility was constructed for the Japanese military to launch suicide bombing attacks against Allied fleets during the Pacific War, and comprises 18 tunnel-type galleries and two bunker facilities. Among these, the tunnel fortification shaped like the character 王 was built far more densely and systematically than other Japanese naval special-attack-unit fortifications elsewhere on Jeju Island. It is a site of painful history, where not only residents of Jeju Island but also people brought in from other regions were mobilised and subjected to physical and mental suffering.
