uh-oh peace Memorial Park in Okinawa stands as a powerful tribute to the lives lost during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II it honors over 200,000 people civilians and soldiers alike from all sides of the conflict with its ocean views and quiet gardens it’s a place for reflection remembrance and a hope for lasting peace the park’s heart is the cornerstone of peace where thousands of names are etched into stone it is about time to check in in our hotel room and give you a quick room tour
wow that’s amazing
