To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, Tamamura Town Board of Education will create educational materials for elementary and junior high school students to convey the damage caused by the war.

In addition, in July, a project to launch sky lanterns at Tamamura Elementary School will be planned in hopes of peace. To raise funds for these efforts, the town is conducting a crowdfunding campaign using the hometown tax system until April 30th.

On August 14th and 15th, 1945, the town was subjected to air raids by the US military, and 28 people were killed, especially in the Tsunobuchi district. In addition, approximately 600 people from the town died during the Pacific War."
