Japanese Emperor Visited Iwoto (Iwo Jima)

8 Apr 2025

The Japanese Emperor and Empress traveled to the island of Iwoto, formerly pronounced as Iwo Jima, on 7 Apr 2025 and visited two war memorials and a cemetery. The 1945 battle on this small island resulted in approximately 21,000 Japanese and 7,000 American deaths. The visit marked the first of a series of visits to commemorate the 80th anniversary since the end of WW2. The Emperor is scheduled to visit Okinawa and Hiroshima in Jun and Nagasaki in Sep.

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."

Winston Churchill
