Disagree with entry fees as US memorial us free of charge. Some plate are not translated from Japanese

Entry fee SID $50 per person Through the village, on top of the hill, this Japanese war memorial exists looking over the now peaceful Iron bottom Sound. It's a place to reflect on peace.

First time ever I see a memorial you have to pay to get in. What a shame as those places are so important.

I go to visit the Japanese memorial park over the weekend, and it such a good park to visit, I highly recommend if you get to visit Solomon Island, don't forget to check this out. The place was we'll taken care off, it over seeing the beautiful Honiara with cool breeze. Entrance:$50 doller for the oversea visitor and $20 for local visitors. I highly recommend you to go on Saturday. Or any days or over the weekends.

A place of peace and a great view of Honiara and the bay. Does not tell a story like its US counterpart more for quiet reflections on the loss of life and hope for the future. Also note it has an entry fee of $50.

The serene monument at Mount Austin, just an 18-minute drive southwest from Honiara's main town, stands as a poignant reminder of the valor and resilience of Japan's brave soldiers during World War II. As you gaze upon the breathtaking view overlooking Guadalcanal's harbor, one can't help but imagine the emotions the Japanese soldiers must have felt when faced with the overwhelming might of the Allied Forces' battleships, carriers, and destroyers descending upon them. This peaceful location not only offers a tranquil atmosphere but also provides a fresh breeze that whispers tales of history and heroism. It's a place where visitors can reflect on the past, feel the weight of history, and appreciate the courage displayed amidst the chaos of war.

I took a can and went to visit this and the us memorial. This is a tasteful memorial high on a hill. There is one small plaque honoring those that died. I imagine very few visitors. The flags are tattered and they had trouble making change for the $50 entry fee. I think it's worth seeing to honor the events and the fallen. On the drive, there is a large cemetery which was interesting too. They build roofs over many of the cemetery plots. I've never seen that before.
