The "Peace Searchlight" standing in Mabuni, Itoman City, the site of the end of the Okinawa War, is a monument that continues to illuminate the memories of many lives lost in war and the wish for peace into the future.

The light stretching straight into the night sky is like a prayer itself. As Memorial Day approaches, the quiet light envelops the sky of Mabuni, speaking to visitors about the preciousness of peace.

Itoman City was the site of the last fierce battles of the Okinawa War. Therefore, this searchlight embodies a strong desire that "we must never repeat the war again."

Not only as a tourist destination but also as a "place of learning about the heart" regarding peace, many people visit.
