Sakura Blossoms And A Hidden Jet

Earlier this month I went around Kashima exploring and viewing the sakura flowers in bloom. This is a truly beautiful and peaceful scene.











But while out exploring I came across a small war memorial park, and there, in a hidden bunker was a jet! Technically, not a jet, but a human guided 'kamikaze' missile, the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka. I found this war memorial last summer but didn't even see the hidden bunker. This was a total shock to find! Sometimes living in Japan feels like I'm walking through a dream, never knowing what is around the corner.
