Itoman Fishing Village is renowned as a major tuna port and played a significant role during the Battle of Okinawa, serving as the final site of intense conflict. Visitors can explore the Himeyuri Monument, which commemorates the sacrifices of the Himeyuri students during the war. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
