Okinawa Peace Prayer Hall

A towering chalk building within the Peace Prayer Park. Constructed as a symbol of the desire for peace and mourning for the war dead of all Okinawans and others. In the hall, there is a focus on the statue of Okinawa Peace Prayer, which was created by an artist from Okinawa, Masayama Yamada for over 18 years. "War and Peace", a series of paintings created by Nishimura Tateo [Nishimura Keiyu] with a thought for peace, adorns the walls. There is also a museum that displays large works given by prominent painters who agree with the idea of the prayer hall, and a Kiyira butterfly garden that houses some of the country's largest butterflies and giant butterflies. A bronze statue of a "boy" by sculptor Tadayoshi Sato is installed on the site. Take 30 minutes.

Okinawa Peace Prayer Museum

A museum located in the Peace Prayer Park on the southern island of Okinawa. It displays various materials on the Battle of Okinawa with the intent of appealing the cruelty of war and the value of peace from the perspective of the people. The permanent exhibition hall on the second floor is divided into five exhibition rooms: "Road to the Battle of Okinawa", "Iron Windstorm", "Battlefields of Hell", "Testimony" and "Quarterly of the Pacific". It is an exhibit that conveys to posterity the actual situation of the Battle of Okinawa from the perspective of Okinawan people. There is a children and process exhibition room on the first floor as a zone to look out for the future, where you can learn about the diversity of the world through the life of 18 children from 18 countries. Use of the first floor is free.

Peace Prayer Park

It was established as a peace prayer park in Mabuni, Itoman, the site of the end of the Okinawa War, and serves as a base for transmitting wishes for permanent peace. In the garden, there are many places to inscribe in the heart, such as the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Prayer Museum, the cornerstone of peace [Ishiji], the Okinawa Peace Prayer Hall, the National Okinawa War Veterans Cemetery and the memorial towers of each prefecture. There is a Wi-Fi free spot at the park office. 100 yen (Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays) for each of the in-park EV buses.

Tachin rock

Among the islands of Yonaguni, which are surrounded by sheer cliffs, the east-south is the area with the most severe and masculine landscapes. It is dotted with strange rocks that have been created over time due to the rough open sea. Close to Higashizaki, there is the Sannine stand, which shows the fault, which is divided into several layers, as a rock face. From the observation deck, the warship rock, which looks like a warship as its name suggests, is still washed by the waves. About a five-minute walk from Saint-Ninudai, there is a standing rock with a legend that a young man who could no longer descend from the top of the rock was helped by God.

Roaring Falls

A waterfall with a height of about 20m appears when you drive about 5 minutes into the mountains from the National Highway No. 58 Ikuta intersection.

Nakamura Family House

It is a royal farm house built about 280 years ago, and has been spared the war disaster of the Okinawa War to completely leave the private house structure of the Ryukyu Dynasty period. Since he was a local head of state around the year of Kyoho 10 (1720), he also has a stately status as a form of a shabby house. Other features include kitchens with low roofs to use the attic called tungwa for storage, and pig huts called fools. The influence of medieval Japanese houses and Chinese architecture can be seen everywhere, telling the life of a wealthy farmer in the Ryukyu period.
