🎉Alright, have a great trip to Japan and come back with lots of memories!
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~
Cape Manzamo in Okinawa is a stunning spot with a famous elephant trunk-shaped rock formation. It's great for photos, especially at sunset. The area is easy to access and has historical significance. It can get crowded during peak tourist times, but it's a must-see for its natural beauty and cultural value.
Manzamo is Onna Village, one of the best resorts on the west coast of Okinawa. It has endless blue seas and blue skies, as well as breathtakingly beautiful vast green spaces. It is a very popular tourist attraction!
If you go to Okinawa where the landmark is the same, you will punch in and take pictures. When the weather is good, the scenery is very good, the sea color is very beautiful, you can also see the "love war Okinawa" view hotel across the sea. However, the grass has been trampled a lot less on the platform of ten thousand Mao. Now we can only see ten thousand gross in the observation platform. Ten thousand gross is a national natural park located in Enna Village on the west coast of Okinawa Island. Ten thousand Mao means "grassland that can hold ten thousand people" and "Mao" means grassland in Okinawa. As its name suggests, the natural grasslands here are endless, and the surrounding plant communities are designated as natural monuments by Okinawa County. Secondly, there are cliff cliffs formed by elephant-head uplifting coral reefs and huge waves slapping the rocks on the shore. The magnificent momentum of nature can be seen.
The movie "Love Battle Okinawa" was filmed here, and I watched it before leaving. Since we didn't need tickets, the chartered driver Maekawa accompanied us into the scenic area and took many photos for us (photos taken). The scenery of Manzamo is still very beautiful, with green lawns, clear blue waters, and a vast expanse of sea and sky. The cliffs are a bit similar to the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin. Huhutu pulled a close-up shot and actually saw a man and a woman looking at each other under the elephant's trunk.
The scenery is really beautiful, and it is the best choice for taking pictures. Unfortunately, there were a lot of clouds when we went there. Next, let's talk about the cost-effectiveness. If you are a free traveler, don't have a chartered car, and live in Naha City, then give up this attraction... It takes 120 yen from Naha Terminal to here one way, which takes 2 hours and about 1,500 yen. You can see the place for half an hour and then leave. It's really not cost-effective.
This scenic spot is free of charge. The view is very wide, the air is very good, but the wind is very strong, it's better not to wear a hat... The boundless sea is suitable for emptying, but it is estimated that there will be a lot of people in the peak season. I went there on the afternoon of August 28. There were not many people. Typhoon, though, has little effect.
