Our guide
The Kushimoto Turkish Memorial and Museum, also called the Frigate Ertuğrul Memorial and Museum, commemorates the sailors of the Ottoman frigate Ertuğrul, which sank in 1890 off Kushimoto, Wakayama. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Kii Ōshima is mapped about 2.8 km away. We have not checked opening hours, fees or a public-transport route.
