Whenever they hear "Wanza Mao", everyone will be puzzled by this strange name. In fact, "Wanza" means "ten thousand people sit down", and "Mao" is an Okinawan dialect, meaning grassland and open space. Therefore, "Wanzumao" refers to a large lawn that can accommodate ten thousand people to sit down. This beautiful large lawn is located on a cliff by the sea, and the surrounding flora is designated as a natural monument by Okinawa Prefecture. From there, you can enjoy the sea and the sky, as well as overlooking the coral reefs under the cliffs and the magnificent view of the waves crashing on the shore. Wanzuomao is actually very small. It may take 10 minutes to walk around the semi-circle. The iconic scenic spot is that the cliff is shaped like an elephant's trunk, which is somewhat similar to the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin. From here, you can see pictures of coral reefs and stormy waves hitting the shore, and there are patches of green plant communities on the land. And here is also the location of film and television dramas such as the Hong Kong movie "Love in Okinawa" and the Korean drama "It's Okay, It's Love".Onna · 787m from downtown

A special attraction in Okinawa. It is actually very small and I feel that I can walk around it in less than half an hour. I can see wild pineapples on the roadside. It feels quite fun. There is not much else to comment on. The sea is actually very blue~

The Kouri Ocean Tower is a great spot to visit in Okinawa. It offers fantastic views of the ocean and surrounding islands.

When talking about the most beautiful sea areas in Japan, Okinawa has to be mentioned. The Blue Caves here are also one of the best attractions. Here you can not only enjoy this 35-meter wide and 6-meter deep cave by snorkeling or diving. In this blue dream world, you can see various creatures such as sea bream, goldfish and hedgehog shrimp living here. Every year during the peak season, tourists from all over the world come to experience it.

The Kouri Bridge is so beautiful under the clear sky. The white bridge is reflected on the blue bridge. Below is the white beach and the clear sea water. There are different depths of sea water on both sides of the bridge. If you drive by yourself, I highly recommend this attraction.

The ruins of present-day Guinin Castle in northern Okinawa, Japan, are one of the World Cultural Heritage Sites and a relatively well-preserved ruin. There are nine ruins in Okinawa (including Shuri Castle), commonly known as the "Heritage Complex of the Ryukyu Kingdom". Although only the ruins are visited now, without a single building, according to the scope of the stone city wall and foundation, it is difficult to imagine the scale of that time. At the right time, you can also see a little cherry blossoms, and because of the sea, you can overlook the beautiful sea view.

In Nago City, a little far from Naha, you can play with the Churaumi Aquarium ~ Although it is not big, it is fun. Take a small train + automatic sightseeing car, there are Chinese commentaries, eat pineapple ice cream after sightseeing and buy souvenirs. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Spectacular scenery~ It takes quite a bit of time to get to the northernmost part of Okinawa, but it is well worth the time. You can enjoy the overwhelming scenery of nature with the swirling ocean and the mountains in the distance.

You can see many rare rocks and tropical plants here. Some of the rocks are in strange shapes. People believe that God and spirits exist in the rocks. When you touch them with your hands, you will gain strength and take away your fatigue. It is very convenient to take a bus from the parking lot to the stone mountain, and you don’t have to walk a long way. Come here to see, touch and feel the spiritual power here!
