Summary

I am located at the west end of south of Iwo-To and am 火砕丘 of the quality of andesite formed by volcanic activity of Iwo-To. Yamana comes from the shape that turned down "an earthenware mortar", and "the pipe mountain" of another name comes from from steam to be filled with from the mountaintop region and sulfur gas seeming to puff at the pipe of the smoking tool including the Iwo-To body seeing from the sea.

I became an intense battlefield at the time of fight of Iwo-To in the Pacific War. Because originally the Japanese military moved into action based in here, it meant that it lost that this Mount Suribachi fell to fight. The mountain body part was dug out to seven levels and became the battery position to deploy the gun of the up to 20cm diameter. The crater wall on the sea side catches the bombardment from a warship of U.S. forces by this fight and collapses.

As well as other places of Iwo-To, it is said that many corpses are unexploited in soil now, and there is the corpse which is not yet found. The monument of U.S. forces conveying this fight in history at top and the foot of a mountain, a war dead honoring monument are set up how many.

In the case of fight (1945) of Iwo-To, the U.S. Marine Corps war memorial in Arlington National Cemetery of the United States modelled the Star-Spangled Banner raised in the top of this mountain.

As for the details, see the clause of the fight of Iwo-To and Iwo-To.
