(Translated by Google) On my way home from work on Saturday, I took a detour to visit the Shiden Kai Exhibition Hall in Ainan Town, which I had always been interested in. Developed as a local fighter to replace the Zero Fighter just before the end of the war. About 400 were built in eight months. It is said that the one that is enshrined here is one of those that fought with US military aircraft over the Bungo Channel on July 24, 1945, just before the end of the war. It was discovered on November 18, 1978, at a depth of 41m in Kura Bay. After that, volunteers carefully salvaged it and put it on display. Admission is free, but you can help by purchasing a T-shirt. The peace cherry blossoms "Yokozakura" blooming on Mt. What is the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 Russia 🇷🇺 now... People are cruel. Gives nothing but hatred. It is an absolutely necessary facility to convey the foolishness of war to the present. You have to come and touch it and pass it on to future generations. (Original) 愛南町のいつも気になっていた紫電改展示館を土曜日の仕事帰りに寄り道して見学に行ってきました。終戦間際に零戦に代わる局地戦闘機として開発。８ヶ月の間に約400機製造された。 ここに安置されるのは終戦間際の昭和20年7月24日豊後水道上空で米軍機と交戦したうち１機と言われる。 昭和53年11月18日に久良湾海底41mで発見。 その後有志により慎重に引き揚げられて展示されている。 入場無料ですがTシャツ購入で支援です。 馬瀬山に咲く平和の桜「陽光桜」が満開でした🌸世界平和を願っての桜なのに 今ウクライナ🇺🇦ロシア🇷🇺の戦争とは… 人って残酷ですね。憎しみしか与えない。 戦争の愚かを今に伝えるのに絶対に必要な施設ですね。是非来てみて触れて後世に伝えないといけないのです。

Incredible

A visual slice of WW2 history featuring a downed Kawanishi N1K fighter plane recovered from the sea floor. The museum itself is small and isolated meaning not a lot of people go there, perfect for a quite reflection on times gone by. The main attraction is the fighter, propellers bent back from the moment of impact with the ocean, frozen in time and telling of intense action in the skies above! Unfortunately like the majority of rural museums there is no English or any other language apart from Japanese. This may seem obvious as it is in Japan however it leaves you with a sense of mystery as you depend on the pictures to gather information. If you do not speak the language my advice would be to visit with a Japanese friend or have Google translate at the ready. Admission is free and the views from the gardens are absolutely beautiful. If you happen to be in the area I would highly recommend checking this place out, the impacting presence of the long fallen fighter is well worth the drive! Enjoy.

This is a very important historical exhibit, with an amazing view right outside.

Exhibiting a recovered WWII fighter and artifacts.

Good place to learn about the plain. Not much English commentary though.

AMAZING! The main attraction is a water river, perfect to play in, swim through or just float along. The slides are varied, interesting and exciting and the wave pool? So good. Add clean and numerous facilities as well as great food, cheap. If you can go, GO! You won't regret it. P.S. bring sun screen!

The museum dedicated to the Shiden kai plane. It's free entry though there is only one room. It's very difficult to reach this museum so I would only recommand to those who are near Sukumo or are hardcore fans of japanese planes.

good
