1 Best Sight in Japan

Cape Zanpa Park

Cape Zanpa's lighthouse is set atop impressive cliffs. The Cape Zanpa Park is great place for a refreshing clifftop walk, plus there's a beach and a children's play area. In winter, it is one of the best locations to spot whales from the coast, while in summer it is a popular advanced level diving spot. You'll find various monuments including Okinawa's largest shisa statue, a statue of the diplomat Taiki who set up trade with China, and a mural to those who lost their lives during WWII's Battle of Okinawa. During and just after typhoons the cliff tops can be dangerous due to high winds and huge waves.
