Idesuna Jima Range, Military shooting range in Tonaki, Japan.
Idesuna Jima Range is a shooting facility located on an isolated island near Tonaki. The island features a peak reaching approximately 32 meters and serves as a dedicated training ground.
The island had human inhabitants before its military use, as shown by archaeological finds of pottery from past communities. This earlier presence shaped the island before its conversion into a training facility.
The range operates under dual Japanese and American oversight, reflecting the military partnership between both nations in the Pacific region.
The facility is restricted to authorized military personnel and not open to the public. Those interested in learning more should contact the relevant authorities for information.
Located four kilometers west of Cape Watanjisaki, this range transforms an entire uninhabited island into a specialized military training facility.
