ā² Cape Manzamo is located in Onna on the west coast of Okinawa's main island, Japan, belonging to Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park. It is a representative natural landmark of Okinawa. The name originates from the Ryukyuan dialect, where "manza" symbolizes a space where ten thousand people can sit together, and "mo" refers to a meadow. Legend has it that in 1726, King Sho Kei of Ryukyu visited this place and, upon seeing the vast green meadow atop the cliff and the magnificent sea and sky, praised it as spacious enough for ten thousand people to sit together, thus giving Cape Manzamo its name.
