Inside the Peace Prayer Park. A number of cenotapes line the area around Mabuni Hill, which became the last battleground of the Battle of Okinawa, so as not to forget its times of tragedy and terror. On the hill, there are monuments to the National Okinawa War Veterans Cemetery, which enshrined the remains of the war dead that had been enshrined in various places, and memorial towers of each prefecture. There stands a statue of three boys, built with the thoughts of peace, friendship, and sibling love. Right beside it is the Okinawa Normal Kenjino Tower.

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.
