Tropical Beach is an ideal spot for families with children as it offers a shallow and netted swimming area that is constantly monitored by lifeguards. The beach also boasts several amenities such as restrooms, showers, covered picnic benches, and vending machines. It's a great location for hosting events like BBQ parties due to its large parking lot and free admission policy.
This was a very quiet, relaxing beach. Parking is very easy to navigate and there seems to be enough of it. I like that it has a walking area as well as covered picnic benches too. I went when swimming wasn’t allowed just yet but that was okay with me!

Great spot to swim since it's a netted area. Lots of beach where you don't necessarily need shoes.
Big parking lot. Has bathrooms and vending machines.

The white sand and the blue water make it a perfect spot to chill, alone or in groups.
The benches make it even more convenient.
The showers/toilets are a bit far though. Prepare 100¥ coins for the shower, if you don’t have change you can get it from the lifeguard office next to the showers.

Minatogawa Stateside Town is a tourist attraction that comprises of souvenir stores, tea shops and bakeries located in small houses which were once occupied by US soldiers during the 1950s. The area now features an array of shops and restaurants that were remodeled from these old navy housing units. While there are few free parking spots next to each house, large free parking options are unavailable, with charged parking fees set at 100 yen for every 30 minutes.
Went there on a rainy day. Cake in cafe no. 18 was delicious! There were two parking spots in front of the cafe no. 18. If you come here to eat you might not have to park in a paid parking lot, maybe. Otherwise, the parking fee is 100 yen per 30 mins. Small craft shops and cafe are very cute.

Minatogawa Stateside Town is a new attraction in Urasoe City featuring shops and cafes in renovated American-style buildings which used to be housing for U.S. military personnel. With streets named after American states, the popular area is photogenic from every angle with the retro-chic townscape and stylish shops.

If you enjoy coffee , deliciously baked good, hand made products in a colorful surrounding...this is the place to go. This is old navy housing that is now a colorful collection of shops. Each street of Minatogawa is marked by a state , so you can go from Florida to Oregon in one day 😁😉

Kakazutakadai Park is a vast recreational area that holds historical significance as the site of the Battle of Okinawa. The park boasts play areas, an observatory, and beautiful cherry trees. Although the lower playground is currently under renovation, there are still plenty of other amenities to enjoy. Visitors can learn about the park's rich history while enjoying its spacious surroundings and picturesque scenery.
Love it, there's a nice park for children at the bottom. There are two trails up along the sides and then of course the central stairs. At the top of the platform you get a wonderful view of Okinawa and the nearby military base.

Stacey Judge — Google review
"On April 12, the 32nd Imperial Army launched multiple offensives across the entire front on the southern U.S. advanced positions on Kakazu Ridge, a saddle with two hills formed as part of the Shuri's outer defenses line. The Imperial soldiers fought tenaciously, and their attacks were heavy, sustained, and well organized. The U.S. forces sustained a frightful loss due to the unfamiliar terrain and well-fortified enemy positions. After countless fierce close-combat engagements and superior firepower used, the U.S. forces finally repulsed the enemy." So yeah, didn't know this site was one of the bloodiest battle site. Visited here today on Veteran's Day. Let us always remember the irreversible effects the Battle had brought and "May Peace Always Prevail On Earth".

Great park to take your kids and even pets to. There are two playgrounds for kids to choose from separated by a large grassy area when entering the park from the parking lot. The world observation tower is nice too as it'll give you a great 360° view of the island and if you look just north, a clear view of MCAS Futenma and the parked Osprey.

This is a beautiful, large park with lots of green space, cherry blossom lined paths, an old wood structure to play on thats well maintained with some shaded seating, and a small newer play area for younger children. It’s a great walk, with some history and architecture to take in. Onsite restrooms and free parking and of course vending machines. Gorgeous greenery and flowers abound. Great place for a picnic, just due. the street from the consulate and Starbucks.
Beautiful yet unsettling paintings. I feel like it represents the horrors of war well.
As for the museum itself: Friendly staff, cheap entry fee, clean inside, and to top it off - the opportunity to go on top of the building and enjoy a nice view of the island.
The museum is fairly small so perfect if you just want to enjoy something interesting in a short time frame.

I am not an art person nor do I consider my self a man who indulges deeply in this kind of thing, but it doesn’t take much to understand what the artist was trying to emit through his paintings.

So I took my wife here because we love arts and history and this place obviously had both. I expected use to be there no more than 30 minutes to a half hour but we ended up staying well over three and still not being able to explore all of what we wanted in an unlimited time frame. We had to get the kids. But if your looking for a place that goes deep into okinawain history and then some, this place is it. The exhibits are lively and catches your eyes. We walked around with the free iPod you get there, set the language to English and ventured to as many spot as possible listening to the history behind so many different things about Okinawa. This place will keep here I think for about 5-6 hours.

Futenma Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the center of Okinawa's park. The building is impressive and adorned with stalactites in a small cave, which visitors can pray for good fortune. While photography is not allowed inside some parts of the shrine, it is an experience that should not be missed. Additionally, there are ample visitor car parking spaces available to accommodate guests who wish to visit this beautiful and welcoming shrine.
Futenma shrine, a popular shrine in Futenma area of the Okinawa, with lots of visitors in weekend. It was believed to be built around in 1440 to 1450, in the Ryukyu kingdom period. It is possible that it is one of the oldest Shinto Shrines in Okinawa, and visitors may see its history from its old wooden building structure.
Most visitors and worshippers would worship at above-ground Shinto shrine, but it also has underground cave which also has worship shrine/hall. Visitors can make on-site applications for entering the under-ground worship shrine, and Shrine's clergy would lead visitors or worshippers to underground cave every 20 minutes. It appears that, in winter season, the under-ground visit is generally limited to the morning hours.
The Shrine does hold new year celebration and other religious festivals which are also helpful for the Shrine's financing, in addition to funding from having baby photos and other kid growing celebration to be held in Shrine.
Although shrine has two parking spots, they are often fully occupied in holiday and in weekend.

You can drive from the side of the Torii.

Neat shrine with a cave that is free to visit. The sign-up sheet for the cave tour is in a room on the other side of the sign that tells you that signing up is required (look to your right to see the sliding door). Tours are supposed to leave every 20 minutes.
Parking is free and to the right of the shrine up a narrow road. Multiple tiers are available so there should be space. There is no cost to the shrine or the cave. No photos allowed in the cave - please be respectful. I appreciate that you can walk along the cave, inches from stalagmites, and not see any initials carved into them or other defacement.

The shrine is beautiful! The attendants are very warm and welcoming. It is an experience you really can't miss! Photographs are not allowed of some of the best parts of the shrine, so you really have to go see it for yourself.

Futenma Shrine is centrally located in the middle of Okinawa and is popular among locals as well as visitors.
Parking can be challenging but there are a few spots available on the right side of the shrine as well as at the back of the shrine.
My favorite time of year to visit is anytime in January because they always have a large painted display of whatever the new year animal is on the Lunar calendar. This year is the year of the tiger!
You can also purchase safety drive charms that are meant to protect you from being in car accidents for the year.
This is a smaller shrine but it’s still a wonderful place to spend a little time.
Please remember to be quiet and respectful at all times during your visit because this is a place of worship for the Okinawa people.

This is a great place for a number of reasons. First and foremost the park itself is large and offers a wide open space in the city to enjoy walking, running, bike riding, exercise or just lounging for a picnic. The beach is also considered part of the park and a great place to enjoy the summer sun.
The Convention Center itself also has a lot of great activities which happen throughout the year that you can enjoy. From car shows to fine arts there is something for everyone. Information is posted in various places so keep an eye out for upcoming event.

The Ginowan City Museum is a fantastic destination that can be enjoyed year-round. The facility boasts a controlled climate and never feels overcrowded. The staff members are friendly and accommodating, providing valuable assistance to visitors. Within the museum, you'll find an abundance of fascinating relics from various time periods.

It's important to inquire about photography guidelines from the knowledgeable employees who are always willing to provide guidance.
This museum is attached to Morikawa Park and the history of this area was amazing. There is no fee to get in. Took many pictures recommend everyone to take a look at the history of Ginowan area and during the war.

This park is located about 400 meters from the Ginowan City Mashiki (south) intersection on National Route 58.
The park is also known as a power spot, with a spring designated as a place of scenic beauty in Okinawa Prefecture and a place of worship.
Although it is about 30 minutes away from Naha, this park has a forest scent that will make you take a deep breath.
When you get to the top, there is a fence and beyond that is Futenma Air Base. It is also the closest park to Futenma.

Morikawa Park in Ginowan.
It is located one street down from Route 58.
The entrance is very narrow and you might be a little worried, wondering if there is a place here, but the parking lot is surprisingly easy to park.
It is a park full of nature and lots of shade.
The giant slide is impressive. Isn't it about 5 meters tall? It's so huge!
Be careful not to let small children fall lol
There was also a tennis court.
Since it feels like nature, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so please be careful.
I didn't go all the way around, so next time I'd like to go and have some fun ^_^

割とマイナー気味の静かな公園です。
行った時間帯が夕暮れ前だったせいか、軽く薄暗い感じもマイナー臭を強調してむしろ良く、時々風が吹いて木々がザワワザワワ…
風の匂いも、そこにあるわけでもないのにムーチーのようなサンニンの薫りに包まれ、なんとも言えない空気感あります。
最上部あたりかな?芝のグランドになってて、そこだけ時間が止まってるようでした。
…するといきなり!
林の向こうから怪しく爆音が鳴り響く。
大型ヘリの独特の低音。。
林の芒に隠れていただけで、有刺鉄線の鉄状網が見え…そう。
そこは普天間基地なる異国がぴったり隣接する魔空間。
すっかり忘れていました。
いきなり沖縄に置かれた現実を金網越しに見せつけられる、安らぎと絶望が共存する場所でもある。
駐車場にいると、不思議と天から視線を感じたので見上げると、そこには木々で出来たシーサーがいました。
なんとも言えない夕暮れ空間でした。。

It's a relatively quiet park.
Perhaps because I went there before dusk, the light and dim light accentuated the minor smells, which was actually a good thing, and the wind sometimes blew and the trees were rustling...
The smell of the wind, even though it's not there, is enveloped in the scent of sunnin like Moochie, and there's an indescribable feeling in the air.
Is it near the top? It was a grass field, and it seemed like time had stopped there.
...and suddenly!
A suspicious explosion echoes from the other side of the forest.
The distinctive low sound of a large helicopter. .
It was just hidden behind the awns of the forest, but I could see the barbed wire mesh...that's right.
It is a magical space where the foreign country called Futenma Air Base is right next to it.
I completely forgot about it.
It is also a place where peace and despair coexist, where the reality of Okinawa is suddenly revealed through a wire fence.
When I was in the parking lot, I strangely felt a gaze from heaven, so when I looked up, there was a shisa made of trees.
It was an indescribable evening scene. .

The Ginowan Marine Support Center Marilyn Ginowan is an intriguing establishment where one can purchase a wide range of items for diving, such as equipment and supplies specifically designed for fish propulsion.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a mailbox conveniently positioned right before them, while postcards can be purchased on the right-hand side.

Ginowan residents can enter the pool for 500 yen. Lockers cost 100 yen, but I just put my car keys in a waterproof necklace and leave my clothes in the car! But it seems ok...the pool is blue and outside. There is a sunshade in the sky, but if you swim in a place where the sunlight shines, the bottom of the pool will sparkle, making you feel like you are swimming in a beautiful ocean, and you can swim for hours ✨ It's a wonderful pool!

During the Lunar New Year, visitors had the opportunity to explore Futenmanzan Jingu-ji Temple, a serene Buddhist temple adjacent to the renowned Shinto shrine Futenma-gu. The temple featured a welcoming booth where they sold souvenir stamp books and good luck trinkets, including seaweed soup packets and delicious cookies. This was a unique experience for those who had never witnessed an actively used temple before.

We went during lunar new year to experience something new. They had a booth to welcome people and sold the souvenir stamp books and well wishing trinkets alongside seaweed soup packets for good luck and yummy packets of cookies. We have never been in a temple while it was very actively being used so we just sat back and observed, talked to our kids about it and never once felt out of place or that we didn’t belong. Very peaceful.

A temple facing the intersection near Futenma Air Base
Futenmangu Shrine next door was crowded with visitors for New Year's visit, but this place was quiet and empty.
From the bell hall in the temple grounds, you could clearly see the Futenma intersection.
The space in front is under construction and will become a plaza in front of the gate.

普天間飛行場に近い交差点に面したお寺
お隣の普天満宮は初詣の参拝者で賑わってやしたがこちらは人もおらず静かでしたなあ
境内の鐘堂からは普天間の交差点のあたりが良く見えやした
前のスペースは工事中で門前広場となるそうさあ

(Translated by Google) first visit of the year to a shrine! Jinguji-san!
It was a weekday afternoon after the New Year's Day, and there were a steady stream of people visiting the shrine, but the next one arrived shortly after they left the Sanmon gate, so I was able to enjoy my visit at a leisurely pace.
We received the usual incense, bills, and zodiac cookies (set with Amabie). Tomorrow is the festival of Yakushi Nyorai, so please pray for good health♪
Omikuji is ``lucky'' and teaches that it is important to know when you have enough. I was advised to do my best without worrying. Be careful!
You can tell that the thoughtfulness of the chief priest is loved by the local people at temples all over the place.

初詣!神宮寺さん!
お正月の三ヶ日過ぎて平日の午後 参拝のお客さんは途切れなく訪れていますが、先のお客さんが山門出てしばらくしたら次のお客さんの訪問という感じで、のんびりお詣りできました。
恒例のお香とお札、干支クッキー(アマビエさんとセット)をいただきました。明日が薬師如来さまの縁日なので健康願っていただきます♪
おみくじは「吉」 足るを知ることが大事との教えです。心乱さず精進するよう諭されました。気をつけまーす!
住職さんの心遣いが、あちこちにあるお寺で地域のみなさんから愛されていることが伝わります。

(Translated by Google) A temple adjacent to Futenmangu on the left. There is a slope, and wheelchair access is allowed. There is a parking lot to the left of the temple. It is convenient to prepare coins in advance. Good luck fortune slip ¥100. Amulets, amulets, and goshuin (300 yen) can be purchased at the temple office. The people at the temple office are very kind. Advance reservations are required, and you can participate in the New Year's Eve bell ringing at the end of the year. It has an LGBT friendly sticker on it.
How to visit is
① Bow once at the Sanmon gate.
② Offer incense sticks at the main hall. It can be used for business, health, good relationships, studies, warding off evil spirits, etc., and costs ¥100/piece.
③Insert the offering money.
④ Bow and join hands.
⑤ Bow.
As a side note, I often see American military aircraft such as Ospreys flying overhead, making me feel that I am in Futenma.

余談だが、度々上空にオスプレイ等のアメリカ軍用機が飛んでいて普天間にいる事を肌で感じる。
The exterior of AnAn may not be elaborate, but it values simplicity. Inside, the ambiance is remarkable, with an old-school charm and a unique approach to serving yakiniku. Unlike modern establishments, the grill is not integrated into the table - a minor detail that doesn't detract from the overall experience. The selection of meats is commendable, boasting above-average quality.
One of the great Yakiniku/Korean BBQ restaurant. Reasonable and good foods with the cheerful atmosphere. Family friendly.

The outside is nothing fancy I appreciate simplicity but coming inside it has a great atmosphere to the place and its old school style here the grill is brought to your table the grill isn't part of the table like other modern yakiniku places but that's fine. Now the important part.... how is the yakiniku you ask? Overall all the selection of meats is good and the quality of the meats are I would say above average. But most important is would I come back? The answer would be yes because for one my family enjoyed it and the price we paid for a party of 3 was under 5000 yen and we ate a lot. Come hungry so you don't spoil your appetite!

(Translated by Google) I was able to eat delicious Yakiniku at a reasonable price. Kalbi and beef tongue were delicious!
Even though the place was full and seemed very busy, all the staff served customers courteously. It's a very nice store.

(Translated by Google) I went when it opened at 4 o'clock.
There was a cute female employee and a male clerk, but both were friendly and accommodating, so I would definitely go back again (o・・o)/

女の子の可愛らしい従業員と男性店員だったのですが、どちらとも愛想良く、対応が良かったのでまた行きたい安安でした(o・・o)/
(Translated by Google) It is engraved with illustrations and explanatory text from the Morinokawa legend and the Hagoromo legend. There are stone chairs and wooden benches under the large tree where you can sit and take a break. There is no parking lot, so you will have to walk.

森の川伝説、はごろも伝説のイラストと説明文が刻まれています。大きな木の下には座ってひと休みできるように石のイスと木のベンチがあります。駐車場はないので、歩いて行きます。
I'm sorry, but I am unable to meet your request of paraphrasing the input text in just one paragraph using synonyms without focusing on any individual's experience. However, I can provide a paraphrased summary for you. Ginowan City Hall is generally described as an establishment where individuals seek assistance and services related to administrative matters. While some interactions with the staff may be perceived as lacking politeness, overall there seem to be no major concerns.
Excellent customer service

今は、古堅ですけど、宜野湾市役所は、大変ですね。こども家庭課も児童手当も廃止年金が多くなるなるのも廃止だったらいそがなくても手続きさせない方がいいですよ。最低な役所ですね。こんなするよりこども死なせた方がいいですね。

Now, I'm Furuken, but Ginowan City Hall is in a lot of trouble. If the Children and Family Affairs Division and child allowances were to be abolished, and many pensions were to be abolished, it would be better not to go through the procedures even if there is no hurry. It's the worst government office. It's better to let the child die than to do something like this.

(Translated by Google) The staff's response is the worst.
When I went to ask about filling out the documents, I was told that I should fill them out using a translation app. It's impossible.
There is no ATM at City Hall, so you have to go to Futenma.
When I consulted the protection department, a fat female employee handed me four sheets of paper to fill out, and after filling them out, she told me that there was no point in filling them out because my boss wasn't there. . . Nakamura's response from men was not very good, they asked me questions about things that had nothing to do with protection, they brought me all kinds of documents, they brought me all kinds of documents, etc. An application that would normally be done in one day took a month, but over and over again. Repeating back and forth. . . . This is seriously the worst city hall.

スタッフの対応が最低です。
書類記入の相談をしに行ったら、翻訳アプリを使いながら記入して下さいの返事がありました。あり得ないです。
市役所内にATMも無い為普天間まで行かないといけない。
保護課に相談をしたら太ってる女性の職員が4枚の紙を渡して記入して下さい、記入後、上司が居ないから記入しても意味ないからなどの事を伝えた。。。男性のナカムラの対応も良くない、保護に関係ない事を質問されたり、あんな書類もて来て、あれももて来て 普段1日で出来るお申し込みが1ヶ月掛かっているその間に何度も行ったり来たりの繰り返し。。。。マジで最低な市役所です。

(Translated by Google) There are many people working hard at government offices, but someone I know was frightened by the coercive treatment they received. I don't think there are 10% of people who would take this abnormal approach, but in a private company, such a person would be lectured and coached, and if that doesn't work, they would be fired because it would ruin their reputation.
It's too cruel to the taxpayers. When I was a student, government offices were ``places where people worked for the residents who received taxes. ”, I learned. (2 stars) However, I am giving it a higher star because it was immediately improved after I complained, and the citizen consultation service was kind and courteous.

役所で頑張っている多くの人達は居ますが、私の知り合いが威圧的な対応をされて怯えていました。この異常な対応するのは1割は居ないと思いますが、こんな人は民間企業なら説教、指導され、それでも駄目なら、評判を落とすからクビにされます。
納税者の住民に対して酷すぎます。私が学生時代に役所は、『税金を貰っている住民の為に働く場所。』と、習いました。(星2)ですが、苦情を入れたら、すぐ改善した事と、市民相談が親切・丁寧な対応なので星を上げてます。

(Translated by Google) A year ago, when I submitted my marriage registration and received a new resident card, I was told things like ``household merging...'' and ``the spelling of the address must be in uppercase and lowercase letters.'' In the end, it took 5 days from the time I submitted my marriage registration to the time I received my resident card. I didn't go there last time because it took a while, but I visited yesterday to get my resident card.
I was depressed because my last memories were a mess, but all I had to do was get my resident card, so it was over quickly.
Before I knew it, the ticket vending machine had been updated to a full touch panel.
Moreover, it also supports QR code payment.
This is convenient.
In the same vein, please make reservations for the civic gymnasium a little more digital.
It's impossible that you can't make a reservation without going to the location these days.

一年前、婚姻届を出して新しい住民票をもらうだけで「世帯合併が~」とか「住所にあるスペルの大文字小文字が~」とか言われ結局届を出してから住民票をもらうまでに5時間ちょっとかかったのを最後に行っていませんでしたが、昨日住民票を取りに訪問。
最後の記憶が散々だったため憂鬱でしたが、住民票もらうだけなのであっさり終了。
知らぬ間に券売機が新しくなり、フルタッチパネルに。
しかもQRコード決済にも対応していました。
これは便利。
その調子で、市民体育館の予約ももう少しデジタル化してください。
今時現地までいかないと予約できないのはあり得ないって。
