Okinawa Pref. Nanjoushi Chinen Azama

This manmade beach, which boasts a great view of the transparent sea, is adjacent to the port used by the ferry bound for Kudaka Island (a.k.a. Island of the Gods). You can enjoy everything from sea bathing, marine sports, or barbecuing, and the swimming area is quite large. The parking lot has a large capacity as well, and there are coin lockers available along with showers, making this a convenient spot indeed.

I came here in mid-March and it was pretty empty. Seemed like there was quite a bit of work going on - renovations, seasonal maintenance. The beach seemed nice with designated and protected swimming...

Okinawa Pref. Itomanshi Mabuni 448-2

The Okinawa Peace Hall is a monument rising up 45 meters in the Peace Memorial Park. Okinawa became an arena for the ground war at the end of World War II and the site of a hard-fought battle which cost as many as 200,000 military and civilian lives. With the belief that the tragedy should never be repeated, Okinawa Peace Hall was built in 1978 to appeal to the world about the nobility of peace. The heptahedron shape represents the seven seas and hands joining together.

I entered this place thinking that it was the Peace Memorial Museum, but was in for an awful shock when I realised that after pay 450 Yen, that it was just a gallery with some art on display and a...

Okinawa Pref. Itomanshi Mabuni 444

Straddling the boundary between Itoman City and Yaese Town, Shimajiri District, the Peace Memorial Park is a Quasi-National Park that includes beautiful natural scenery and also historical sights commemorating the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. There is an observation platform with good views along the coast. The area within the Park saw some of the fiercest fighting during the Battle of Okinawa, and was the location of the Japanese Army’s last line of defense. Within the Park, the Peace Memorial Museum houses displays of photographs and relics relating to the Battle, as well as the National War Dead Peace Mausoleum, which records the names of all the people who died during the Battle, along with more than 100 individual memorial steles and cenotaphs. Besides being a place dedicated to the dream of global peace and which aims to send out a message of peace, the Park is also a place that many families visit on weekends and public holidays for picnics and recreation.

Mibaru Beach and Hyakuna Beach

Leisure / Hobbies

Okinawa Pref. Nanjoushi Tamagusuku Hyakuna

Mibaru Beach and Hyakuna Beach provide the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of the southern part of Okinawa Island. Mibaru Beach is a gently shelving beach with small waves; visitors can take a boat ride in a glass-bottomed boat from a dock nearby to view the fish. Many people visit Mibaru Beach to enjoy watersports. The nearby Hykuna Beach, which is sandwiched between rocky promontories, is a sacred place where, according to legend, the creator goddess Amamikiyo came ashore from Kudaka Island; this tranquil beach is still revered by local people today. As there are no marine activity facilities here, Hyakuna is much less crowded than Mibaru Beach, making it a great place to relax.

This facility is where you can be transported to an uninhabited island and enjoy various marine sports. Above all, you can enjoy the highly transparent sea nurtured by the untouched nature of Komaka Island, and it is popular throughout the year. Besides playing in the ocean, it is also highly recommended to explore the uninhabited island. It is great because it is only 15 minutes away by boat from the Chinen Marine Leisure Center dock.

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
