Okinawa Peace Memorial Park (Cornerstone of Peace)

沖縄県平和祈念公園(平和の礎)

Okinawa

A solemn WWII memorial park on Mabuni Hill, Itoman — the site where the Battle of Okinawa ended, with the Cornerstone of Peace inscribing the names of 240,000+ war dead of all nationalities, plus the Peace Memorial Museum and National Peace Memorial Hall.

Why we picked it

Arguably the most significant civilian-casualty WWII memorial site in Japan; is absent.
