◇Cape Manzamo (Duration of stay: about 40 minutes)
In the 18th century, when Sho Kei, the King of the Ryukyu Kingdom, was given an inspection tour to Kunigami and visited Manza Cape, he was told, "It is wide enough for all (thousands of people) to sit and relax.” Because of that, he gave Manzamo its name. “Man nin" means “all people, "and "Mo" means open space, a field in the Okinawan dialect.
As its name suggests, the steepened cliff of protuberant coral reefs where a green fur carpet spreads like a natural grass lawn with a dazzling view of the emerald ocean. Cape Manza is designated as a scenic spot in the prefecture due to its magnificent beauty.
◇Orion Motobu Resort & Spa (Duration of stay: about 60 minutes)
Please enjoy the lunch buffet while looking at the blue sea and Iejima Tachu.
Free time at Ocean Expo Park ・ Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium (Duration of stay: about 130 minutes )
The Aquarium spreads like a dynamic marine world, appearing as a part that belongs to the Okinawan Ocean.
You will see the world's first living coral large-scale breeding and, through the world's largest acrylic panel, the world's first whale shark and multiple breeding of manta rays. You will also enjoy the “Dolphin Lagoon,” “Okichan Theater” (Dolphin Show), “Sea Turtle Pool,” and “Manatee Pool” in the area around the aquarium. (No admission fee is required to the pools)
*As Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is an option, the admission fee is not included.
◇Nakijin Castle Ruins ・ World Heritage Site(Duration of stay: about 50 minutes)
Nakijin Castle used to be Hokuzan Kingdom Feudal Lord’s castle. However, it was conquered by King Sho Hashi of Chuzan in 1416.
Much of the castle was burnt to ashes during the 1609 Satsuma invasion of the Ryukyus. The site remained a spiritual center for the people of Okinawa’s prayers and festivities. The castle wall draws a gentle curve whose length is 1500 meters, reminding the Great Wall of China.
