Description

Tucked behind a purple house in Rita (Mosquito Town), the Japanese Air Raid Shelter is a heavily reinforced concrete shelter is one of the most intact Second World War bunkers in the region and one of Majuro's best-kept secrets. Built to protect Japanese troops during the Pacific build-up, it features a central corridor, twin observation holes, blast barriers, and an escape door at the rear. The site sits on private land, so knock, ask politely, and the owners will usually open it up for you, just remember, look but don't touch.

Highlights

  • Rare intact WWII Japanese personnel bunker
  • Original blast barriers and steel door survive
  • One of the Pacific's least-known WWII sites
