[A quiet place of deep respect] "Peace Memorial Park" commemorating the Battle of Okinawa

The "Peace Memorial Park" in Itoman City, in the southern part of Okinawa's main island, is a place of prayer for peace built on the site of a fierce battle during the Battle of Okinawa.
The vast grounds are home to the "Cornerstone of Peace" and the "Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum," which quietly convey the horrors of war and the preciousness of peace. 🕊️
The park overlooks the beautiful sea and is perfect for a stroll, allowing you to spend some time calming your mind.
When you actually visit, you'll naturally stop in front of the stone monuments with names engraved on them, which gives you an opportunity to think deeply about peace.
There is a fee to enter the museum, but the park is open to the public for free, so anyone can visit easily.
