Cape Manzamo

[2] Cape Manzamo is located on the western side of Okinawa Island (26°30′28.2″N 127°51′01.4″E / 26.507833°N 127.850389°E / 26.507833; 127.850389), facing the East China Sea.

[3] When visiting Cape Manzamo, 18th Century Ryukyuan king Sho Kei is said to have noted that the top of the cliff was big enough for 10,000 people to sit.

The kanji characters of the Japanese written form of Manzamo reflect the king's expression: 万 (Man - 10,000) 座 (Za - to sit) 毛 (Mo - field).

This makes it a very popular spot on Okinawa for viewing the sunset, and for taking photos of the cliff from its side facing Onna Village.

At low tide, at the bottom of the rock formation which constitutes the picturesque cliff, tidal pools are formed.
