Access is not good to go through a slightly narrow road, but there is a signboard for information. There is a public toilet nearby and you can park your car. At the last place of the apprenticeship consisting of students from Okinawa Prefectural Daini High School, 149 school officials are enshrined. I feel the foolishness of the Japanese leadership that causes such results.

I've been here again this year.

林の中に

タクシーをチャーターして訪れました。沖縄県立第二高等女学校の生徒から構成された白梅学徒看護隊の終焉の地に建つ慰霊塔です。敷地内にある南禅廣寺の手前に 自決の壕へ下りる階段が在りました。何も持たずただ合掌だけしましたが、お花を手向けられるのならば予め用意された方が良いでしょう。周辺にお店等はありません。

慰霊の場所

レンタカーで訪問。駐車場、トイレ完備。塔の周りは整備されている。あくまで慰霊のための施設で観光地的な要素はない。
