Tomb of Noguni Sōkan
Tomb of Noguni Sōkan submitted by Aska : Site in Kyūshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
 A cave burial with urn on the shore. Noguni Sōkan was an official of Ryūkyū Kingdom, he brought seedlings of sweet potato and helped Okinawan people recover from famine. The site was heavily destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in WW2 and the main part of the urn was lost.

The site is located inside “Kadena Marina” of US Kadena Air Base (out of Japanese territory) but anyone can visit the beach and the restaurant inside freely from 11:00 to 22:00.
