An unexploded World War II bomb was found Tuesday at a construction site in Nagoya, close to the city center where another unexploded bomb was found this month.
According to the police and Nagoya City officials, a construction worker reported finding the bomb while demolishing a building in Naka Ward at around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, TV Asahi reported.
Police said the bomb was about 1.2 meters long. It was taken away and detonated.
A 250-kg American-made incendiary bomb was found at a different construction site about 50 meters away in October last year and a second one in the same area on Feb 14.

Hey, if it means something exciting happening in Nagoya...
(I can get away with that, as I used to live there!)

Like Europe, Japan will continue to uncover these items for centuries to come.

That's one job I don't fancy at any price, army bomb disposal, full respect to them.

The war was started by Imperialist Japan, not the US. Tens of thousands of bombs remain in the ground.

And Germany and UK and Russia and Japan and everyone else that used bombs in WWII.
Plenty of unexploded bombs from many nations in the ground, ready to go BOOM! If you are not careful.

I did a brief stint in Cambodia with along with the CMAC.
One of the shocking aspects was seeing the span of ages of victims of previously unexploded ordnance.

If you are referring to the Japan / US war you need to go and do your homework. The USA started this and is well known.

The US and its allies never started the Pacific War. That was started when Japan attacked the US. It also attacked many other countries.
