Okinawa Peace Memorial Park

Reviewed By PangL103

About 200,000 names on the head stones. Soldiers from both sides and about 100,000 civilians. Casualties of war. This should be the second site to visit after the Former Navy Underground HQ. It is situated near cliffs overlooking the ocean. Lets you reflect the cruelty of mankind and what war brings.

Cape Maeda

Reviewed By J1734GVmichellec - Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

The best snorkelling spot in Okinawa! Before you head to the cape, make sure to check the sea condition online. This was our 2nd time snorkelling here, the first time was a peak season, there were TOO many swimmers and the cave was so crowded, at the end, we gave up. This time, it was so empty and we were able to spend some time inside the cave, taking photos. It was so fun to snorkel, we brought breads to feed the fish and there were lots of colourful fish, felt like an aquarium!

Nirai Beach

Reviewed By Zakimi - Pensacola, United States

Nirai Beach is truly Okinawan at heart. Not a touristy trap, but a place of cultural importance. The area is surrounded by nature. Lovely ocean, flora, people. It's quite a cultural experience to visit. If staying in the hotel Nikko Alivila or just a visitor you will have a great time. It's my secret place to visit away from the crowds when I want to experience Okinawa intimately.

Sunabe No.1

Try your hand at beach diving here, suitable for a wide range of divers from absolute beginners to fun dives for experienced divers. The red, yellow, and purple alcyonacea (or soft corals) that paint the ocean a beautiful color is reminiscent of a flower garden and is a must-see of this area. You can also see a large number of the popular clownfish.

Cape Manzamo

Reviewed By briancT5765MZ - Bangkok, Thailand

Kind of windy when i'm there but its still worth to go especially during the sunset. Only one spot there and just take about 10 minutes including walking from the car.

Zakimi Castle Ruins

Reviewed By RockieHazel - Sydney, Australia

This castle ruin is located in central Okinawa near the Cape Zampa lighthouse. Unlike so many other attractions there was free parking and no admission fee! The castle itself is located with a well maintained park which is quite peaceful to walk through. It was great to be able to climb up on top of the castle walls and get a great view of the ocean. There is a museum located next to the park that had an admission fee that we didn't enter. Would definitely recommend this detour if you're driving through the area.
