In the Pacific War of the Showa, the base of the Okinoshima area can be built as a key to Shikoku's defense. The Uguru Island is equipped with cannons and so on. In August of 1945 the whole island people will be ordered to leave. But the war ended immediately, and Uguru Island never became a battlefield. The remains of such remains as the base remains.
