-Attraction Introduction-
• Manzamo – A seaside lawn offering panoramic views of the sea and sky.

This beautiful lawn sits on a cliff shaped like an elephant's trunk by the sea, offering panoramic views of the vast ocean and sky, as well as overlooking the coral reefs below. The Hong Kong film "Okinawa Rendezvous" and the Korean drama "It's Okay, That's Love" were filmed here, so you might even encounter familiar scenes during your visit!
Kouri Island – A beautiful remote island
Kouri Island is an outlying island in northern Okinawa. The island is not large, with a circumference of only 8 kilometers. But once you cross the long Kouri Bridge and arrive on the island, the refreshing and charming scenery will surely catch your eye. The straight sugarcane fields, the quaint old buildings of Okinawa, and the sea rippling gently in the sunlight make for stunning landscape photos.
