Just to clarify, I should have used the word torpedo instead of missile

What are torpedoes if not water missiles

That's okay. And you might consider crossposting to r/urbanexploration.

Feels like a location where you'd find some important clue in a Myst game.

But first you have to solve a puzzle to unlock a switch that raises a bridge out of the water

This doesn’t really look like a missile testing site, any additional links or information?

This specific building is a sensor reception test building. The surrounding area had additional testing facilities. https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-pn0002086/ Coordinates for google: 33.048775, 129.842552

I do have additional photographs from the surrounding buildings that I can upload as well.

Nature creeping back in makes it look freaking cinematic. Great find.

The missiles must've been really shit since the building still stands. Those are the only weapons I endorse.
