Elephant Trunk Rock and the Azure Sea: A Majestic Grassland View on Okinawa's West Coast

I had no particular plans other than visiting Mexico, a famous Okinawan taco restaurant, and eating sata andagi in Kyoda! Other than that, I decided to take a trip to the northernmost point on the way!
Around Kyoda, there were a lot of cars, but the further north I went, the fewer cars there were. I also spotted a seaside cafe I'd seen on TV, but I wondered if that many people would come there. (The day I went was a weekday, with sprinkles of rain.) That's because it was already a three-hour drive from the city center. 😂 With detours along the way, it took a total of six hours!
The scenery was reminiscent of the TV show Hawaii Five-0, and there weren't many tourists, so it felt like I had the view all to myself. On the way back, I stopped off at Cape Manza. My friend said it was just a plain, but there were modern buildings and an entrance fee of about 100 yen to enter the cape.
Actually, there's a new jangleia in the north, so I'd like to know if you have any recommendations for other areas besides that.
As an aside, Kyoda's sata andagi are ball-shaped, old-fashioned sata andagi, right? If you're not into that kind of thing, I highly recommend it. I was one of those people, but I ended up going there twice during my stay (lol).
