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.
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 thought that color photos introduced in Japanese magazines of the 1940s were generally terrible but an editor said "This is the best quality color photograph you can see at the moment."

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