Terminal Island Japanese Fishing Village Memorial

"Alot of history here. Wish they would add more Pictures. And Stories."

"An important historical site and worth a visit even if it’s a little out of the way. Hard to imagine this site once had a thriving community at one time"

"Nice little memorial tucked away at the end of Terminal Island. The prison guards are a little if Leary of people hanging around so be forewarned."

"Wished this memorial was better taken care of, still should be visited to pay respects to people that were done wrong.."

"The Japanese Fishermans Memorial,located on Terminal Island,Los Angeles,California,is a scenic portside memorial dedicated to The Japanese fishing village and the community that lived and worked there and made it their "furasato"-or "Home Sweet Home".These were the first Japanese families forcibly relocated after the bombing of Pearl Harbor,Hawaii.A few years later these same Japanese individuals and families were given $25.00 and a bus ticket back to furasato only to find their village had been bulldozed and leveled to nothing. . . . . #japanesefishermansmemorial #japan #fishing #losangeleshistory #ilovefishing #japanesefisherman #ilovelosangeles #californiadreaming #californiadreamin #sculptures #hawaii #issei #nisei #sansei #pearlharbor #terminalislandersclub #issei #nisei #sensai #furasato #internment #terminalislandtreasures #terminalisland #southseasideavenue"
