Cape Manzamo

Manzakage is a scenic spot located in Onna Village in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. It is famous for its strange rock formations resembling an "elephant's nose" created by wave erosion of Ryukyu limestone, and the blue of the East China Sea spreading out over the strange rock formations is exceptional.\n\nThe name "Manzakage" is said to have come from the 18th century Ryukyu King Shokei, who called it "a field where all people can sit". The cliffs spread out beyond the grassy plains of the cape, providing a beautiful contrast to the cobalt blue sea.\n\nIn 2020, the surrounding area was improved and a new entrance area was built. An observation deck and boardwalk have been built to allow visitors to safely enjoy the spectacular view. At dusk, you can see the fantastic sight of the setting sun dyeing the sea, making it a popular spot for photographers. It takes about 1 hour from Naha by car.
