  石垣島に行くまで、戦争マラリアという言葉さえ知りませんでした。八重山諸島における沖縄戦のさなかで発生している、戦争マラリアの実態を伝える施設です。戦時中の軍命により、マラリア有病地域へ強制避難されたことにより、人口の半数が罹患し、一割以上の3000人余の方が亡くなられた出来事。戦争、平和関連施設として、ぜひ見学いただきたいと思います。  more »

  I didn't even know the word malaria before I went to Ishigaki Island. It is a facility that conveys the actual situation of war malaria that occurs in the midst of the Battle of Okinawa in the Yaeyama Islands. Half of the population was affected by the forced evacuation of malaria-ill areas due to wartime military life, and more than 1000 people died. I would like you to visit it as a war and peace-related facility.

  具志堅用高記念館の前にあります。 地味～な感じの建物ですが、石垣島の歴史や文化・戦争・マラリア撲滅などの展示があります。 石垣島の歴史や文化に触れられて、行ってみて良かった祈念館でした。  more »

  It is in front of the Gushiken High Memorial Hall. It is a sober building, but there are exhibits such as the history of Ishigaki Island, culture, war, malaria eradication, etc. It was a prayer hall that was good to visit because I was exposed to the history and culture of Ishigaki Island.

  Mostly a collection of objects from the ancient era, with a few simple displays about local customs, practices etc. There was a booklet with English translations that had one or two interesting titbits but the museum was organized in a pretty haphazard manner overall. Can skip it unless you have time to kill.

  It is a small, low key museum with some interesting items (like water kettle made from a big sea shell). I can sense that the museum is more for locals to connect to their roots than to entertain foreign tourists. You probably only need 30 min to go through all.
