What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Peace Memorial Park
Beautiful memorial commemorating all the lives lost in Okinawa (both Japanese and American). The site is beautiful with lots of greenery and a view to the sea. It is very well maintained and has free parking. It is a good place to take a slow walk and take in all the monuments and scenery. Must see.
We arrived late to visit the museum, but the park is worth the visit on its own. A place where you can breathe peace and solemnity. A memorial to a moment in history sadly less known to the international visitor than Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but equally sad and painful.
The Peace Memorial park is one of the most beautiful memorials I have ever visited. Everyone is honored in the masterpiece that is the gardens. I easily walked for 1-2 hours taking in the monuments and well-kept greenery.
Stunning memorial to the war and its after effects on the island. Its all free to visit bar an exhibition inside which is a reasonable 300 yen per adult. With that you get and audio tour in your own language as you wander round the main museum part.
Well worth a visit
Well maintained and beautiful park commemorating the lifes lost in the war. Every prefecture has its own memorial place, and the 240,000 names written on stone made us speechless. The area is large and also offers a good view on the ocean. Ample parking available.
