5 Best WWII History Tours in Okinawa

The Battle of Okinawa ran from April to June 1945 and took a huge share of the island’s civilians with it, and the place still carries that. The Navy Underground HQ tunnels in Tomigusuku and the Peace Memorial Park at Mabuni are the core; a private guide can add Hacksaw Ridge, the Maeda Escarpment in Urasoe.

“It was very informative and interesting. The staff were pleasant. The tunnels lead to different areas of the headquarters. If you're very tall, you'll need to bend your head a few times while in the tunnel. It was an overall good experience.”
