What other travelers are saying about Cape Manza (Manzamo)
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.
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.
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.
Totally a tourist trap. No mention on Google or any other place to search that you had to go through a facility and pay money to see a cliff. Surprise fees are never fun.
Can pay with card. ¥ 100 per person 🙄
There are money exchange machines within the facility and some real nice gift shops with cute souvenirs, teas, and alcohol.
The entrance fee is 100 yen which you can pay by cash or card. I recommend to visit early in the morning or during sunset to get a better views. I visited at around 4PM
