What other travelers are saying about Hario Transmission Station
Very cool historic place. Be sure to wear close-toed shoes and bug protection. There were murder hornets and lots of crabs on the grounds. If you have a mold allergy or are afraid of bugs/dark places, might not be the best place for you. The entrance is free but donations are encouraged at the entrance.
A place with history to learn about. I went with my family just to walk around. The entire place is defunct. To walk through the telegraph, you are advised to put on a helmet. Many places to take photographs.
Traditional naval base from WWII, Communication from battle of Pearl Harbor was used here. Knowledgeable tour guide; Japanese language only, demo (but) I had translator. Information billboards had enlish translation and English flyer. Beautiful water view of Saikai bridges...5min drive, you can get better pictures of the bridge. I just did not FEEL 5 stars but I enjoyed the tour😊
Wireless Communication Towers built in 1918 at about the time of Japanese-Russian War. 136m tall, 12m base diameter.
May be the site where the command was sent to begin the Pacific war in WWII.
Pretty unique and small radio station. Definitely a worth going to see WW2 history
