    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunkunigamison Hedo
    Located at the northernmost tip of Okinawa, it is made up of cliffs of coral. On sunny days it is a picturesque spot where you will be able to command a view of Yoron Island. In 1972 during the Showa period, on the occasion of the return of Okinawa to the Japanese, a monument “sokoku fukki tousou ishibumi” (Return to Motherland conflict monument) was built. Located on the northern side of the cape Hedo dome is a limestone cave in the sea which is said to have formed approximately 20,000 years ago. It is known as a great diving spot.
  • Kayauchi Banta
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunkunigamison Ginama
    "A picturesque cliff located in Kunigami Village on the northern tip of Okinawa Island. ""Banta"" means ""cliff"" in the Okinawan dialect. The 80-meter-high, precipitous cliff faces the East China Sea and offers a sweeping view of the ocean in Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park. From an observatory, visitors can look down the steep cliff walls and at the surrounding beauty of the ocean and natural scenery. Visitors can also walk along a walking path or relax in an arbor on the cliff. On clear days, visitors can see the gentle ocean and Ginama Fish Harbor directly below and beautiful steep mountains stretching into the distance."

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.
