Tateyama Air-raid Shelter, World War II air-raid shelter near History Museum, Nagasaki, Japan.
The underground tunnel system consists of multiple connected chambers reinforced with concrete walls and metal support structures spanning 50 meters in length.
In August 1945, when the atomic bomb struck Nagasaki, the governor and staff inside this shelter coordinated emergency response efforts from 2.7 kilometers away.
The shelter now functions as a memorial site displaying original artifacts, personal testimonies, and documentation panels about wartime experiences in Nagasaki Prefecture.
Visitors can access the shelter through guided tours between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with free admission and informative exhibits in multiple languages.
The preserved communication equipment in the command center shows how officials transmitted critical information during the aftermath of the atomic bombing.
