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.

The treaty is said over on September 9, 1945 when Japan's Govermental General in Korea signed the instrument of surrender.Very interesting

However, few historians claim that the treaty is still alive because it was a treaty between Japan and Korea, which had nothing to do with the Allies.

I have just wondered what if Japanese government defined NK as a puppet built in the Japanese terriitory as both countries have no diplomatic relations since 1945 yet.It's a fair point, only that I don't think that neither ROK or DPRK fully agree.

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