Mabuni Hills

Other Historic Site/Building
This hill in Peace Memorial Park was the site of the final and bloodiest battles of Okinawa. The entire area is a part of Okinawa Senseki Quasi-National Park, the only quasi-national park in Japan comprised of a former battlefield. A number of prefectures and organizations have erected memorials here with the hope that this era of tragedy and terror is never forgotten. The National Cemetery for the War Dead in Okinawa on the top of the hill inters the bones of those killed during the battle. A statue of three young men representing peace, friendship, and the love between teachers and students has also been erected there.
