Tokiwa was re-designated a “First-Class Coast Defence Vessel” on 30 September 1921. On 30 September 1922, the Tokiwa was converted to a minelayer and carried a total of 300 mines. In August 1927 she suffered substantial damage in an accidental explosion, and was placed in the reserve fleet. At the outbreak of the second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, she was again used as a minelayer, carrying up to 500 mines. Ironically, the Tokiwa was herself mined in April 1945, and was later sunk by air attack on 9 September 1945 at Ominato port, northern Honshu (41.20N, 141.60E).
