Pago Bay Japanese pillboxes
The Pago Bay Japanese pillboxes are a pair of World War II-era coastal defense pillboxes located on the shore of Pago Bay, located on the central east coast of Guam. Built out of steel-reinforced concrete mixed with coral stone, these two structures were built by Japanese defenders during their occupation of the island between 1941 and 1944. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as Pagu' Pillbox I and Pagu' Pillbox II. Neither of these would have seen substantial action during the 1944 liberation of Guam, whose military activities were focused on the western, central, and northern parts of the island.
==Pillbox I==
The first pillbox is located about north of the mouth of the Pago River, and is about above the mean high tide line. It is roughly in size, and is partially filled with sand. Its gun port is located in the south wall, with a view over Pago Bay, and there is a window in the western wall, overlooking the river. The main entrance is on the north side, providing access to the single chamber of the interior. The roof is about thick, with an overhang on the south side. At the time of its National Register listings in 1991, it was partially buried and filled with sand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Pagu' Pillbox I )〕
