The upper surface of Manzamo is prairie of lawn grass, differs from Hendo cape slightly.
Here is a famous tourist spot, and many beaches or resort hotels dot.
From the edge of the cliff, I could see several upheaval coral, reefs and whitecaps, the sea of dark blue.
There are many coral reefs throughout the sea of Okinawa, and the diving is enjoyed.


万座毛の上面はシバ草原で最果ての辺戸岬とは趣が異なります。
ここ一帯は有名な観光スポットで、ビーチやリゾートホテルが点在しています。
眼下には隆起珊瑚、リーフと白波、紺碧の海が広がっています。
沖縄の海には、到る所に珊瑚礁があり、ダイビングが盛んです。

There are a huge aquarium, seaside parks, a botanical gardens, etc in this vast park.

The upper photo shows Emerald beach.
A lower photo shows a small bay that is below the aquarium.
The fragments of white coral are innumerably scattered all over sands, and a marine color looks white.
Standing on the seashore, when the sun just shone from the interval of clouds, I was not able to open eyes due to dazzling.

砂浜には白い珊瑚のかけらが無数に散らばり、海の色が白く見えます。
雲の合間から太陽が照ると、海岸に立っている時など、眩しくて目を開けることが出来なかった。

On the other hand, if I go into neighbor hill for a while, the primeval forest has remained.
Unfortunately, we look at the topsoil spill of red clay in some places.
It shows that the grand is poverty of soil.
Today, I enjoyed an aquarium, flowerbeds, seashore, and the sunlight of Okinawa all the day.

Next time, I look at nature of south part in the main Okinawa island.


一方、裏山に少しはいると原生林が残っています。
残念なことに、所々、赤土の表土流失も見られ、地味が乏しそうです。

今日は、水族館、花壇、海岸、沖縄の日差しを満喫した1日でした。

次回は、本島の南部を紹介します。
