Tsushima-maru Memorial Museum, History museum in Naha, Japan

The Tsushima-maru Memorial Museum in Naha preserves memories of a passenger ship that sank during World War II. The exhibition spans two floors and displays photographs, personal objects, and a reconstructed classroom from that era.

The museum commemorates a ship that was sunk by a submarine in 1944. This tragedy took hundreds of lives, including many schoolchildren who were aboard.

The museum displays personal belongings and photographs that document how Okinawan people experienced the Pacific War. These objects help visitors understand the human stories behind historical events.

The museum offers visitors a place to learn more about this part of history in a quiet setting. When visiting, allow enough time to view all the displays carefully.

A memorial tower near the museum stands in a park to remember the young people who died in the ship disaster. This quiet place allows visitors to reflect on the fate of these people.
