At the Osutaka Ridge in Ueno Village, Gunma Prefecture, where 520 people were killed and the JAL Jumbo plane crashed. Decided to rebuild the damaged tombstone along a clear mountain trail.
On August 12, 1985, a Jumbo aircraft of Japan Airlines crashed and 520 people were killed, and at the ridge of Osutaka in Ueno Village, a wooden grave marker was set up where the bodies and relics were found, and the bereaved family, etc. Every year, we come to the memorial service on the day of death.
At "Sugenosawa," where the largest number of tombs are lined up, some of the tombs were washed away by the flooding of the river and landslides caused by typhoon No. 19 last October.
In response to this, local Ueno villages and others set up a grave marker at the same place, and it is feared that heavy rain could damage it again. I decided to rebuild about 20 new grave markers. According to the village, we have never moved so many tombs from "Sugenosawa" to another place.
Uenomura Hachiro Kurosawa said, “I think it would be desirable to rebuild the gravestone to its original location, but I proposed moving it to another location to reassure the bereaved that it would not be washed away again. We would like to quickly install the grave markers of the bereaved families that we received."
