This was a sub-event site to celebrate the long distance flight from Tokyo to London by Asahi Shinbun plane "Kamikaze" and other historic items at Mt. Ikoma nearby. No more planes but the tower is survived as an amusement tower with toy planes.

So, we had to wait for Fuji color film in the postwar.
