Was really touched by a visit to this museum. They really managed to give an insight into the lifes of the people (focused on female high school students) of okinawa during the war time. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island!

If you want to know what happened to Okinawa and it’s people during World War II, this is the place. It tells you about the atrocities committed on its people and their suffering during that period from the US invasion as well as Imperial Japan army. The museum closes at 5pm but the park is open 24 hours. The park is huge with a great view of the Pacific Ocean. See pictures. There’s also a Korean memorial monument paying tribute to ten of thousands of Korean who were brought to Okinawa during the war by the Imperial army and were either killed or died in Okinawa. I think this place is a must for first time visitors to Okinawa

Entrance is only 1000 JPY. For that you can see a local cultural show, monkeys and century-old houses. You can also wander around the mangroves. There is a cafe with tasty soba and adequate toilet facilities. Best accessible by car but there is a bus stop nearby.

It is unusual to find a facility that contains both a museum of culture, history, and science (hereinafter referred to as “museum”) and an art museum. A facility which contains a “museum” (hakubutsukan) and an “art museum” (bijutsukan) is rare. One of its predecessors was the Higashi Onna Museum , established in 1946 immediately following the Battle of Okinawa, and therefore, 2016 marked the facility’s 70th anniversary. The museum exhibits materials and information related to the fields of geology, biology, anthropology, archeology, history, folklore, and arts and crafts, and it holds various relevant events. The art museum shows mainly, but is not limited to, modern and contemporary works of art that were nurtured by Okinawan culture, including oil and watercolor paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and videos. Take your time exploring the nature, history, culture, and art of Okinawa at both museums.

I loved the animal and nature part of the exhibition. The staff is really helpful and friendly, althought they miss some of English descriptions about the exhibits. I fancied some parts of the art exhibition but most of them I found quite cheap.
