Nature Spots in Resort Area (West Coast) Area

  • Cape Manzamo
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunonnason Onna
    It is a popular scenic spot which is representative of Okinawa Prefecture, which is located in Onna Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture. It is famous for having rocks on the coastal cliffs which closely resemble an elephant’s trunk, with the whole surface of the clear blue sea stretching out down below. The highly transparent sea is breathtakingly beautiful and is so transparent that you can even see the rocks in the sea, but be careful as there are a few places which don’t have a fence.
  • Cape Maeda
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunonnason Maeda 469-1
    Cape Maeda is a picturesque place with a precipitous cliff formed from elevated coral and a view of beautiful, transparent ocean. Diving and snorkeling are popular in this area, and the “Blue Grotto” shining gloriously blue is a particular must see. It is also one of the best sightseeing places as you can watch whales from an observation tower or whale watching boats in winter.
  • Cape Zanpa
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Nakagamigunyomitanson Uza 1861
    Cape Zanpa is a promontory that juts out into the East China Sea, with two kilometers of cliffs that reach a height of around 30 meters. At the tip of the Cape there is a brilliant white lighthouse; there are marvelous views of the Kerama Islands and Ie-jima (Ie Island). Cape Zanpa is a very popular spot for diving, and for fishing from rocks near the shore. It is also famous because the sun sets here later than anywhere else on the main island of Okinawa, which attracts large numbers of people to come and watch the sea get given a reddish tint by the setting sun.
  • Zanpa Beach

The nearby park contains athletic equipment and a barbecue area, making this beach a popular spot for families.

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
