    It’s a moving place that portrays the tragic narrative of the divine wind known as the kamikaze. This was the main base for these brave young doomed aviators in many battles such as the 82 day battle for Okinawa. There is a MIT Zero fighter there which was recovered from the Osumi bay and restored, and an actual living zero pilot only one two left, a courteous friendly guide well that was 10 years ago an honour to meet such a man, every time I go to this base I pay homage to this museum.
