World War 2 WWII Cave in Sasebo, Japan
Unconfirmed but most likely this cave was used either for military or civilian shelter during the tail end of World War 2 in mainland Japan (on the southernmost main island of Kyushu).
I found this cave hiking through a mountain nearby Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan. It was completely unmarked unlike the well-known caves in Okinawa. Some people had intentionally covered the 3 entrance corridors with branches and logs within the last year or two, but not enough to really prevent people from entering. Other nearby caves have been filled with debris, or are sealed off with sheetmetal, chains, and locks.
People I know that are Sasebo natives are aware of many caves and the air raids by American forces that created the need to dig them, but no one I have met has ever heard of this one. I hope to dig up some more information through research and then go back to the cave with better lighting. If I get the full scoop, I'll redo this short clip!
Foreigners in Maizuru
UPDATE:
Looks like they are just visiting for a goodwill and friendship building port visit.
Noticed there has been an increase in foreigners in Maizuru. It must have sometime to do with that radar being built up in Mineyama, Kyoto.

Maizuru's Abandoned Ammunitions Factory
The last time I visited here was in October of 2013. This adventure took place on Nov. 1st 2015 and lead a small group.
This is a pre-World War II factory. After the way the Americans stationed in Maizuru had control of and renumbered the buildings. The cement walls were mixed by hand and the building only have 3 out of 4 walls made from cement. This was to help control any accidental explosions. Also, this was where the Japanese Yamoto battleship had shells made.
The local nickname of this location is Russian Hospital (ロシア病院). Does it look like a hospital? A Russian hospital? I don't know, but I would imagine not.

Wake Island | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Wake Island
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wake Island (also known as Wake Atoll) is a coral atoll in the western Pacific Ocean in the northeastern area of the Micronesia subregion, 1,501 miles (2,416 kilometers) east of Guam, 2,298 miles (3,698 kilometers) west of Honolulu and 1,991 miles (3,204 kilometers) southeast of Tokyo. The island is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States that is also claimed by the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Wake Island is one of the most isolated islands in the world and the nearest inhabited island is Utirik Atoll in the Marshall Islands, 592 miles (953 kilometers) to the southeast.
Wake Island, one of 14 U.S. insular areas, is administered by the United States Air Force under an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Interior. The center of activity on the atoll is at Wake Island Airfield (IATA: AWK, ICAO: PWAK), which is primarily used as a mid-Pacific refueling stop for military aircraft and an emergency landing area. The 9,800-foot (3,000 m) runway is the longest strategic runway in the Pacific islands. South of the runway is the Wake Island Launch Center, a missile launch site of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site operated by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command and the Missile Defense Agency. The Base Operations Support contractor at Wake is Chugach Federal Solutions, Inc. About 94 people live on the island, and access to it is restricted. Population fluctuates depending on operations being conducted by Missile Defense Agency activities.
On December 11, 1941, Wake Island was the site of the Empire of Japan's first unsuccessful attack on American forces in the Battle of Wake Island when U.S. Marines, with some US Navy personnel and civilians on the island repelled an attempted Japanese invasion, sinking two enemy destroyers and a transport. The island fell to overwhelming Japanese forces 12 days later in a second attack, this one with extensive support from Japanese carrier-based aircraft returning from the attack on Pearl Harbor naval and air bases in Hawaii further east, four days previously. Wake Island remained occupied by Japanese forces until the end of the war in September 1945.The submerged and emergent lands at the atoll are a unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.
Wake island, together with eight other insular areas, comprises the United States Minor Outlying Islands, a statistical designation defined by the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 3166-1 code. They are collectively represented by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code UM; Wake Island itself is represented by the ISO 3166-2 code UM-79.
