Okinawa's famous seascape landmark, Elephant Trunk Rock: Manzamo

#Seaview #100 Ways to Travel

Okinawa's iconic seascape landmark #万座毛 is actually the Elephant Trunk Rock standing on the beach? In the Okinawan dialect, Manzamo refers to a grassland that can accommodate 10,000 people. That’s right, Cape Manza is located on a grassland cliff facing the sea in Onna Village. It is a cliff shaped like an elephant’s trunk and raised by coral reefs.

Strolling along the vast grassland trails of Manzamo, you can enjoy the azure sea views and a broad field of vision. You can even see the ANA InterContinental Hotel opposite. However, the wind at the seaside is extremely strong, especially the gusts on the cliffs are even stronger, so you can only stay there for half an hour at most.

There are actually various strange rocks on the Manza Beach, such as the Meet and Play Rocks, the Iwa Cave, the Apogama Rock Beach, etc. There is also a seaside park near Onna Village. The most beautiful beach is Manza Beach where the ANA InterContinental Hotel is located, but non-guests are charged!
