More than 50 years ago, Okinawa was under US military rule.
In Okinawa, there was a struggle to return to the motherland, and Cape Hedo, located just a stone's throw from Okinoerabu Island, is said to have been the center of the struggle.
Therefore, there is a monument commemorating the struggle to return to the motherland at Cape Hedo.

You can feel the feelings of the people who hoped for return to Japan more than 50 years ago.
