Found an interesting PowerPoint presentation that has some content on Japanese island defense works at Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa:

https://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/umrcourses/ge342/Japanese%20Island%20Defenses%201943-45.pdf

It has some spelling issues in places (ironic as this is a college presentation), and the design is not the greatest, but the images and info is overall very interesting if you like reading about this kind of thing, as I do.
