Itokazu Abuchiragama

This natural cave is located in the Itokazu area of Tamagusuku, Nanjo City in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island. It was originally a designated evacuation shelter for the Itokazu Village, but it was used as a trench position and warehouse for Japanese troops, and was the location for a branch office of the Haebaru army hospital. One of the places that conveys the actual situation of the war in Okinawa in the present, it is also somewhere that makes you think about war.
