What other travelers are saying about Cape Manza (Manzamo)
Very nice place to visit on a sunny day. You can have a nice view of cliff, clean emerald water. Would be great to be there for a sunset
Free parking. Admission is 100 yen per person but it’s more than worth
Cape Manza is accessible by car or bus from Naha, the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture. The drive takes approximately one to two hours, depending on traffic conditions. There are also guided tours available that include Cape Manza as part of their itinerary.
Cape Manza can be visited year-round, but the best time for comfortable weather is from late March to early May during the spring and from October to November during the fall. Sunset is a particularly popular time to visit, as the view of the sun setting over the East China Sea is spectacular.
Yes, there are basic facilities available, including parking, restrooms, and a few shops where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. It's a good idea to bring water and snacks if you plan on staying for a while.
While the views from Cape Manza are stunning, it is not a swimming spot due to the rocky cliffs and strong currents. There are, however, beautiful beaches nearby suitable for swimming.
Besides enjoying the stunning views, you can explore nearby attractions such as the Churaumi Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world, and the historical Nakijin Castle ruins. The surrounding area also offers beautiful beaches, local dining options, and shopping opportunities for Okinawan crafts and goods.
Plenty of car spaces and easy to get to. The entry ticket is 100¥ and easy to use ticket machines in multiple languages. New Year time the weather is a little windy and wet but still some stunning views of nearby coast lines and ocean. There might be a small wait to be able to get a photo. Plenty of restaurants and shops and will take about 20 mins to walk the loop.
There’s a 100‑yen entrance fee to visit this place, which is quite reasonable. The walking route is fairly short, though the one‑way layout feels a bit unusual—probably meant to manage crowd flow. Some spots offer great ocean views and make for nice photo opportunities, especially at sunset. If you prefer to skip the entrance fee, there are plenty of viewpoints along the road that offer similar scenery for free

Cape manzamo 100yen per adult. Just a short 10 minutes hangout spot then leave the cape because ITS TOO WINDY.
Just in time for lunch. Recommend their tummy burger located outdoor. They have few topping like pineapple and etc, I only like pineapple to pair with my burger so I only remember this🤣
But pls be patient as they need time to prepare. You may ask them how long is the waiting time so you can walk around before picking up your burger.
They have also fruit sorbet and Japanese warm food. Recommend this crepe. Super good in my opinion.
This can be a quick stop from the highway if you want to have nice view to enjoy your meal.
Beautiful cliffside view overlooking the ocean. The entrance fee is only 100 yen, very reasonable. If you visit in September, the weather is extremely hot, so be mindful of heatstroke and bring water. It can get quite crowded with tourists. Inside, there are restaurants, souvenir shops with cute gifts, and a stamp station for collectors.
