Okinawa Highlights

Embark on a journey to the Himeyuri Monument, a powerful memorial dedicated to the tragic events of World War II. Pay homage to the brave young women who served as nurses and students during the war. Learn about their sacrifices and the impact of the war on the local community.

Visit the Himeyuri Peace Museum, located adjacent to the monument. Explore the exhibits that depict the history and stories of the Himeyuri students and nurses. Gain a deeper understanding of the war's impact on Okinawa and the importance of peace.

Take a stroll through the Peace Memorial Park, a serene and contemplative space that serves as a symbol of hope and peace. Admire the various memorials, monuments, and sculptures scattered throughout the park, each representing a different aspect of the atomic bombing and its aftermath. Pause at the Children's Peace Monument, dedicated to the young victims of the bombing, and witness the touching displays of paper cranes, a symbol of peace.

Continue your Naha Trip by visiting the Okinawa World where the Gyokusendo Cave - the longest of the many caves in the south of Okinawa Island and the second longest cave in the entire country - is located.
