Cape Hedo

This weekend, we finally took a short trip up to Cape Hedo. Cape Hedo is the northernmost point of Okinawa’s main island. From here you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views on island. You’ll see both the Pacific and the East China Sea in one glance from the 230-foot-high cliffs. At the tip of Cape Hedo stands a Memorial Tower commemorating the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. The monument is simply inscribed with the words, "Present People of Japan and the World." Cape Hedo is one of the few sites on Okinawa that is considered almost sacred ground due to the many people who died there during World War II. If you ever visit Okinawa, Cape Hedo is a must see!
