Day 9 - Okinawa &

Naha is the capital of Okinawa prefecture. It is a very large and busy place.

Okinawa Peace Memorial

Inside of this water feature is a eternal flame of peace; or so we are informed.
There are rows and rows of marble columns of the names of the dead. Americans, Brits, Japanese, Koreans, Okinawans, and more.
Perhaps the famous cliffs Okinawans were reported to fling themselves from.

Japanese Naval underground headquarters. This is the commanding officers office. It is the room he committed suicide by gun shot.

This place is way underground!
