Was really touched by a visit to this museum. They really managed to give an insight into the lifes of the people (focused on female high school students) of okinawa during the war time. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island!

Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum

Reviewed By RKTH - Singapore, Singapore

If you want to know what happened to Okinawa and it’s people during World War II, this is the place. It tells you about the atrocities committed on its people and their suffering during that period from the US invasion as well as Imperial Japan army. The museum closes at 5pm but the park is open 24 hours. The park is huge with a great view of the Pacific Ocean. See pictures. There’s also a Korean memorial monument paying tribute to ten of thousands of Korean who were brought to Okinawa during the war by the Imperial army and were either killed or died in Okinawa. I think this place is a must for first time visitors to Okinawa

Fish Center

Reviewed By RockieHazel - Sydney, Australia

This market is located south of Nago need the outlet mall. There's a whole line of shops selling sushi, sashimi and some grilled seafood as well. We were here just after it opens at 10 and it was fairly popular but not crowded. Prices were pretty good and the seafood all looked very fresh. We opted for some nigiri and one of the shops were you can pick you own sashimi for about 300yen a portion. We got to try some great parrot fish sashimi, that famous blue Okinawan fish. The oysters were so creamy and delicious! There's plenty of tables and benches located in the outside area. The second building of the market had a souvenir shop and some restaurants. I really enjoyed coming to this market and much preferred it to Makishi in terms of price and atmosphere.
