Type 97 Chi-Ha wreck Wakajishi Shrine - Walkaround - 若獅子神社 九七式中戦車 チハ.

Wakajishi Tank School History video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-aF-s1TvYU

Wakajishi tank school was probably opened in 1939, but sources are a bit unclear on that, it was almost destroyed from american bombings that started in 1944.
Now you can find a memorial shrine here dedicated to the students and soldiers that died during the war.
You can also find a Type 97 Chi-Ha here.
The Chi-Ha was knocked out during the battle of Saipan.
It has multiple hits on the right side, and was probably used for target practice.

The tank was salvaged out of a canal together with another Chi-Ha, this one was send to Wakajishi and the other Chi-Ha went to Yasukuni Shrine War Museum.
