Mount Faber may be a popular spot amongst hikers and tourists – but it also boasts historical significance. After all, the area was a very important place during WWII. Hidden in the forested slope at almost the top of the hill is a mysterious tombstone of a Japanese naval officer who died in 1942. According to the inscriptions on the tombstone, his name was Komoto Ekasa (小本江笠), and he was a civilian naval engineer who had worked for the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
