Ernie Pyle Memorial

Must See

If you are a military history buff this is a must see. Simple right off the side of the road and fairly well maintained all things considered.

A Must-See for any WWII Buff

A historical site by any definition of the phrase, the location where Ernie Pyle was killed during WWII in 1945. A small but moving park.

only if you are interested

This was part of our tour around the island. interesting piece of local history, but nothing too fancy or standout.

Spot closest to Ie Port

Original Text

I went to April 2019. It is a tourist spot nearest to Ie Port. It is always the first place to stop by when you go to Iejima. It is a memorial monument in the field. There are few people who stop by and it is quiet. Annie Pile is an American military reporter who has a connection with Iejima.

It's about five minutes from IE port.

Original Text

It is a memorial monument built by Ernie Pile, who was writing and active on Iejima as an American reporter, who died in the war. It was about 5 minutes by bicycle from Ie Port. You'll almost pass by, but there's an elementary school on the other side. This is a place you want to visit once.
