Underground Bunker of Imperial Japan at Altteureu Airfield in Moseulpo Port, Jeju

Built around 1945, this facility is an auxiliary structure of a Japanese naval airfield. The airfield itself had originally been built at Moseulpo around 1935, covering 594,000㎡, for the planned invasion of mainland China, and was expanded to 1,320,000㎡ around 1945. The bunker was built as a concrete structure, then covered with piled stones to resemble a small hill and further concealed with trees. It stands as evidence of Japan's invasion and militarisation of Jeju Island.
