Wreckage of the battle can still be seen. Military equipment can be seen on some beach areas. There are also pill boxes and extensive mazes of caves.
There have been ideas for decades to turn the island into a tourist area, possibly using its natural hot springs as a draw, but nothing, fortunately, has ever come of that. Not historic tourism as a place like that is just not right.
The island has remained virtually untouched other than the small airfield used by the Japanese.
