The "Peace Memorial Park" in Itoman City, in the southern part of Okinawa's main island, is a place of prayer for peace built on the site of a fierce battle during the Battle of Okinawa. The vast grounds are home to the "Cornerstone of Peace" and the "Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum," which quietly convey the horrors of war and the preciousness of peace. 🕊️ The park overlooks the beautiful sea and is perfect for a stroll, allowing you to spend some time calming your mind. When you actually visit, you'll naturally stop in front of the stone monuments with names engraved on them, which gives you an opportunity to think deeply about peace. There is a fee to enter the museum, but the park is open to the public for free, so anyone can visit easily. [Access] About 40 minutes by car from Naha Airport.

When we visited Peace Memorial Park in Okinawa, it was quiet and serene, with very few people around. That quietness, paired with the open expanse of green grass and solemn monuments, gave the park a tranquil, reflective atmosphere. It truly lived up to its name. The park itself is massive, with various designated zones that pay tribute to the different groups of individuals who lost their lives during the tragic Battle of Okinawa in World War II. There’s a deep sense of loss and remembrance here, yet also a strong message of hope and peace. One of the most moving moments was just strolling slowly through the grassy expanse, watching the wind move through the trees, and soaking in the silence. Off to the right, the cliffs overlook a stunning view of the blue sea—calm, powerful, and healing. It’s hard to imagine that such a peaceful place was once the site of such immense suffering. I came away from the visit reminded of the brutality of war but also deeply appreciative of the times of peace we often take for granted. This park isn’t just a tourist attraction—it’s a place to pause, reflect, and remember. #summervacay #OkinawaPeacePark #WarMemorial #PeaceAndReflection #BattleOfOkinawa #HistoricalTravel #QuietMoments #TravelJapan #okinawa #okinawatrip #japan #japantrip

#Spring0yentrip When I visited Okinawa Peace Memorial Park, the first thing I felt was the solemn air and deep space of prayer. Standing in the spacious park, I felt as if the memories of the war were quietly speaking to me along with the beauty of nature. The Cornerstone of Peace has the names of many people who died in the Battle of Okinawa engraved on it, and when I see each name, I strongly feel that the war is not just history, but an event that touched the lives of each and every person. At the Peace Memorial Museum, I felt my heart tighten as I touched upon the reality of war through photos, videos, and testimonies from that time. Every exhibit was carefully crafted, and the importance of peace was deeply engraved in my heart. It was an irreplaceable experience to have the time to think about peace again in this place where I could see Okinawa's blue sky and beautiful sea. Here I found thoughts that I should never forget. #OkinawaPeaceMemorialPark #CornerstoneofPeace #WarandPeace #PlacesEngravedInMyHeart #OkinawaTrip

This was my first visit to Okinawa's Wa Memorial Park. It's a historic place.

#okinawatrip It’s a park built to commemorate of those who died in Okinawa during the war. This is a place that every historian and younger generation should visit at least once when visiting Okinawa and remind us the tragedy and brutality that took place here. The park is huge and the views are breathtaking. Lots of parking available. Very similar to the Arlington Cemetry (USA) setup.

It's an hour by bus from Naha, and there are one or two buses per hour within Itoman city (you can transfer at Itoman rotary), so it's not particularly easy to get to. Still, I'm glad I visited. The museum is closed over the New Year holidays. There are cart-like vehicles in the park, so even those who aren't confident walking can get around easily. Seeing the memorial site where the Emperor and Empress laid flowers, and the monument with the names of those who lost their precious lives in the Battle of Okinawa, I felt even more strongly the importance of conveying the importance of peace.

Okinawa Battlefield National Park is located in Itoman City in the southern part of Okinawa Island. It was the largest battlefield of the Battle of Okinawa during World War II. The government established the Peace Memorial Park here in 1972. In the vast green space, memorial facilities such as the Memorial Hall, the Peace Cornerstone, the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, the Peace Memorial Hall, and the Okinawa National War Fallen Cemetery have been built. This is a chance to remember the dead, pray for world peace, and learn about the process of Okinawa's post-war reconstruction! This is my third visit to similar places after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Each time it makes me reflect deeply on the horror of war and the importance of world peace! Tips: This place is very large, so it is recommended to prepare sunscreen and drinking water to avoid discomfort! Address: 444 Mabunjin, Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture #Japanese and Korean city attractions #Okinawa

The weather was unstable, so there were fewer people than usual, but there were still a lot of play equipment, and I was overwhelmed by how amazing it was. Adults can have fun with their children. On a sunny Sunday, you can enjoy the picnic atmosphere. I recommend it if you're bringing your children to play☆ #WesternJapan #Park #ItomanCity
