Cape Kyan — Attraction in Itoman

We made a detour to Cape Kyan during our Okinawa trip, and I’m glad we did. It’s not one of those crowded touristy spots, but more of a quiet, soul-stirring place with deep history behind it. Located right at the southern tip of Okinawa island, the cape stands dramatically above the sea with tall cliffs and wide-open views that really stop you in your tracks.

As I walked along the path, I couldn’t help but pause to take in the view. The ocean stretched endlessly in front of me, and with the strong sea breeze and quiet surroundings, it gave a sense of calm and reflection.

The last stretch of road is one lane with limited room to turn out but there are few visitors so just drive slowly and should be fine. Bathroom and shaded...
