On June 19, 1945, a single bomber from the formation that attacked Fukuoka City dropped incendiary bombs on the Raizan district, killing eight residents, including children. Remnants of the raid, such as a mountain cave used as a shelter and a damaged Jizo statue, still exist but are becoming lesser-known. In response to requests from local history groups, the city has included funding for the sign in its upcoming budget proposal, aiming for installation around June 19.<\/span><b> Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20250226\/5010027252.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169215\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fnn_itoshima-raizan_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C802&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Itoshima to Install Signboard Commemorating Raizan Air Raid\" width=\"1400\" height=\"802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fnn_itoshima-raizan_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fnn_itoshima-raizan_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fnn_itoshima-raizan_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C587&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/fnn_itoshima-raizan_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C440&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
