Reflect at Okinawa Peace Memorial Park
Mabuni, Itoman, Japan
On the southern coast at Mabuni, Peace Memorial Park commemorates those who died in the Battle of Okinawa. Walk among the memorials with time for reflection, then visit the museum for a fuller account of the battle and the island’s post-war experience. The site is best approached as a substantial historical visit rather than a quick scenic stop. Allow a quiet part of the day and check museum opening arrangements separately from the park.
