Memorial Monument for Korean Atomic Bomb Victims

Date of Establishment: April 10, 1970 After the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which continued to dominate Korea, lost its livelihood as it made Korea a colony through the annexation of Japan and Korea in 1910. Many people were forced to move to Japan in search of work. In addition, in order to make up for the labor shortage during the war, many Koreans were forced to work in Japan through forced deportation and conscription. It is said that he was exposed to the atomic bomb. Following the legend that ``the spirits of the dead ascend to heaven on the backs of turtles,'' a monument is erected on a pedestal in the shape of a turtle, and on top of it is a crown carved with the Ssangyong. The monument commemorates Prince Lee, a member of the Joseon royal family, whose body was discovered after the atomic bombing.
