Cape Manzamo: An Unforgettable Coastal Journey
Experience the iconic elephant cliff and dramatic, panoramic views of the East China Sea.
A site of profound natural beauty and historical depth, Cape Manzamo was named by a Ryukyuan king who declared it a field spacious enough for "a million people." Its iconic elephant-shaped cliff, a geological masterpiece sculpted by centuries of erosion, stands as a testament to nature's power.
While celebrated for its breathtaking beauty and royal heritage, the cape also holds a somber history as a site of remembrance from the Battle of Okinawa.
Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of Okinawan resilience, connecting its natural grandeur with its profound historical past.
