[Okinawa Miyakojima] An unexpected discovery!? A journey to experience history at the "Happy Air Raid Shelter" 🎯

There is a slightly unexpected place hidden within the grounds of Makiyama Observatory, a spectacular spot on Miyakojima.

That is the Happy Air Raid Shelter. 🌿

This air raid shelter was actually used during wartime, and you can feel the history, but it is a unique place in that it was named after "Happy".

There is not much talk about why it was named this way, but one theory is that it was not used during wartime, but it seems to be filled with the thoughts of the local people. While not forgetting the memories of the war, it may also express hope for the peaceful times we live in now✨🌍

From Makiyama Observatory, you can see the beautiful sea and islands of Miyakojima, and you will be surprised to find this historical spot in the midst of such a view. It is a place where you can have a mysterious experience where history and nature intersect.

It is also recommended to touch on a little bit of history while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Miyakojima.

📍 Location: Inside Makiyama Observatory

Makiyama, Hirara, Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture

It's dark inside, so we recommend bringing a smartphone light or a flashlight☝️A magnificent view awaits you beyond♡
