Tourists view gun battery ruins on war island

WAKAYAMA, Japan - Tourists view the ruins of a World War II gun battery on Okinoshima, one of a cluster of four islands in the Inland Sea off Wakayama, western Japan, on Aug. 3, 2014. The island is attracting young visitors as it looks like a floating fortress in "Laputa: Castle in the Sky," a 1986 Japanese animation film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. (Kyodo)
