Japanese War Memorial, War memorial in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.
The Japanese War Memorial stands as a concrete structure commemorating soldiers who died during World War II in the battles involving Hong Kong.
Constructed in 1943 during the Japanese occupation, the memorial faced demolition in 1946 following Japan's surrender, with final removal completed in February 1947.
The memorial site, known as Hong Kong Chūrei-tō, represented Japanese wartime commemoration practices through its design and ceremonial purpose.
The memorial's foundation remains beneath Cameron Mansions, located at coordinates 22.27017 latitude and 114.16792 longitude in the Wan Chai District.
Local records mention a 500-year-old Japanese sword reportedly buried within the memorial's foundation, though its existence remains unconfirmed.
