The Imperial Japanese Navy Sasebo Naval Defense Higashi Battery Facility on Kuroshima Island
In 1911, Kuroshima Island became the outermost part of Sasebo naval port
as a result of its jurisdiction expansion. To strengthen the defense capability of the port, two artillery batteries were built on the island in 1914, the year WWI broke out. One was in the Furusato area and called Higashi (east) Battery, and the other was in the Tashiro area and called Minami (south) Battery. Higashi battery consisted of two 8cm guns, a search light, a warehouse, a control station for detonating controlled mines, a power plant to supply these two batteries with electricity, barracks, and a pier. The assignment of these batteries was to attack enemy vessels trying to remove mines laid in the sea between Kuroshima Island and Takashima Island. The two batteries belonged to Sasebo Naval Coastal Defense Group, but in May 1943 all the equipment was removed and sent to the frontline troops. After the Pacific war, the battery facility was transferred to the local community and used as houses and warehouses.
