豊川海軍工廠平和公園

Toyokawa Peace Memorial Park is a former Imperial Japanese Navy munitions facility that has been preserved as a historic site with original structures and earthworks from World War II. The grounds retain the physical layout and defensive installations that were part of the wartime operations.

The munitions factory started operations in late 1939 and suffered a major bombing raid by American forces that ended production. The site was later transformed into a memorial space to preserve this chapter of wartime history.

The Peace Exchange Center within the park displays over 100 photographs and documents that detail the military facility's operations and wartime experiences.

You can explore the grounds independently or join guided tours that help explain the structures and their original purposes. The site is accessible to visitors with basic facilities and ample parking available.

The storage structures were engineered with earthen coverings and internal layouts designed to manage temperature and humidity for munitions safety. This practical engineering approach reveals how much attention was paid to protecting the stored materials.
