Japan Trip: Okinawa Peace Memorial Park, World War II and Peace. Itoman,Okinawa25
Near the end of World WarII, Okinawa Island became the site of one of the war's bloodiest battles, when the US forces invaded and occupied the island. An estimated 200,000 people, including more than 100,000 civilians and 12,500 Americans were killed in the battle.
The devastating effects of the war had a deep impact on the local people. There are a number of monuments and museums relating to the period throughout Okinawa Island. The worst battle took place in the south, and that is where some of the larger monuments have been constructed.
Peace Memorial Museum, located in Okinawa Peace Memorial Park, gives a sobering overview of the lead up to the battle, the battle itself and the reconstruction of Okinawa.
Cornerstone of Peace

Himeyuri Monument (Himeyuri no To)
. It commemorates the fate of female high school students, who worked in army field hospitals in caves under horrendous conditions. Most of them did not survive the war.

Okinawa Peace Prayer Park
Our family had a chance to view this beautiful memorial park.
Each monument is dedicated to the lives lost in each prefecture in Okinawa. The black stone walls includes the names of the victims as well as the Japanese, Americans and foreigners who died in the Battle of Okinawa.
The museum is also something to see. Unfortunately we were not able to use our cameras while in the building but you won't regret it.
Definitely bring your walking shoes as there is a lot of ground to cover. Bring some goodies to eat because there's a lot of sitting area around the park. Enjoy the view and relax!!
