Cape Manza, known locally as Manzamo, is one of Okinawa's most stunning natural landmarks. Located on the west coast of the island, this scenic spot is famous for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking views of the East China Sea. The name "Manzamo" translates to "a field for 10,000 people" in Okinawan, a testament to the vast, flat-topped cliff that offers ample space for large gatherings, and it is said to have been named by a Ryukyu king during a royal visit.

Visitors to Cape Manza are greeted by the iconic elephant-shaped rock, a natural limestone formation that juts out into the sea, creating a picturesque silhouette against the vast blue horizon. This spot is particularly popular at sunset when the sky and sea are painted in vibrant hues of orange and pink, providing a perfect backdrop for breathtaking photographs.

The area around Cape Manza is not only visually stunning but also rich in marine life, making it a popular spot for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts who explore the coral reefs just offshore. The natural beauty and serene atmosphere make Cape Manza an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature.

What other travelers are saying about Cape Manza (Manzamo)

Magnificent view and a significant site of Okinawa history. The walk is flat for most part so not too difficult to go around with elderly companions. It is a great pit stop on the way to the northern part of Okinawa. Just to note that there is a small fee for entering the site.

The entry ticket was just 100 yen per person. We arrived at 5:30 PM, and there was no crowd at all—super quiet and peaceful. The stunning blue water, combined with the sunset, created a perfect atmosphere. We spent about 30 minutes there, and it was truly a beautiful experience.

Quick attraction point. Ticket 100 yen. See nature, sea, sunset if lucky and rock that shape like elephant. The wind here very nice. Big and windy! There are food and gift shop nearby too.

As in a tourist must go attraction, only ¥100 entrance fee is fairly good. A short stay at the spot is good enough (20-30 mins). Earlier visits can avoid the crowd from tours. As it is quite windy there, beware of hats and your belongings flying away.

A must stop place if you are driving around Okinawa. Only 100 yen to walk along the cliffs with great views of the ocean and shoreline. The shops and restaurants are fun too.
