My photo says it all I think. Look at that VIEW!!!! Nothing had been photoshop. The water was THAT blue and clean.

There were lots of eateries near the cliff. No hunger / thirst worries.

This beautiful cliff did have a dark side. Well know as a beautiful sunset spot, but also as a haunted place. I came across a local who advised against visiting this spot for the sunset.  To be clear, I am no historian, but the tale goes like this…

Okinawan War back in 1945. This beautiful island of 450,000 inhabitants lost 140,000 lives.Manzamo, Okinawa

Okinawans were not treated as valued Japanese. The imperialist of the time used Okinawans as ‘sute-ishi’ (equivalent of a pawn) to delay the attack on the main island for as long as possible. This included child soldiers, kamikazes and all sort of other unthinkable methods. Tragically (for USA & Japan), full on military engagement took place while all the civilians were on the island. To make the matter worse, Okinawan civilians were educated that suicide and parricide were both superior options than being captured. This cliff was one of the exits… This was one heart wrenching spook story. Accordingly to the locals, because so much blood had been spilled, spirits still lingered to the cliff…

Away from the spook / war story. Check my hair out! Yup, my hair was (sadly still is) naturally curly. By the grace of this gale, this lion mane look was achieved. Traveling solo was not easy. Fellow tourist was hard to come by. There was no chance for a re-take.

    Je suis fou de Stake Casino, ca vibre avec une energie de casino incandescente. Le repertoire du casino est un magma de divertissement, avec des machines a sous de casino modernes et enflammees. Le support du casino est disponible 24/7, assurant un support de casino immediat et incandescent. Les paiements du casino sont securises et fluides, cependant plus de tours gratuits au casino ce serait volcanique. Au final, Stake Casino promet un divertissement de casino brulant pour les amoureux des slots modernes de casino ! De surcroit le design du casino est un spectacle visuel en fusion, facilite une experience de casino volcanique.
