Some may say, “I don’t have enough days to go to the northern part of Okinawa, and first of all, are there any places of interest? Some people may say, “I don’t have enough days to go to northern Okinawa, and first of all, are there any famous places?
Kayadachi Banta is an 80-meter cliff near Cape Hendo, the northernmost point of the main island of Okinawa. It takes about 2 hours from Naha Airport by car.
You can enjoy the wild nature and spectacular view unique to the wild northern part of Okinawa, and it is also a spot where you can receive mysterious power.
Point 1: What is the origin of the name “Kayadachi Banta”?
Kayauchi Banta” is an unusual name, isn’t it?
Banta” is an Okinawan word for “cape. The name “Kayadachi” comes from the fact that when thatch is bundled up and thrown over the cliff, it is blown apart by the wind.
The sea below has a gradation of colors, from brown to emerald green to dark blue, and if you look closely, you can see colorful fish swimming in the sea, typical of Okinawa.
Point 2: Are there any places of interest in Kayi Uchibanta?
Kayuchi Banta is a two-hour drive from Naha Airport. Is there any famous place of interest? There is a parking lot for visitors to Kayuchi Banta, but you have to walk from there, and on bad days, it can be dangerous because of the strong winds.
Even so, people still visit because of the spectacular view of the ocean and the magnificent sunset from the observation deck they are aiming for. And, although the road was not maintained in the past, visitors can enjoy the mysterious scenery of wild trees growing on both sides of the road, which cannot be seen on the mainland.
Point 3: The nearby power spot “Oishi Rinzan” is also recommended.
If you like power spots, we recommend “Oishi Rinzan” (Mt. Oishi Rinzan), a 2-minute drive from Kayadachi Banta.
I think that Kayadachi Banta itself, with its wild and spectacular view, is a power spot in itself,
Oishirinzan is said to be one of the most famous power spots in Okinawa, a treasure trove of power spots, and is said to be a sacred place created by Amamikyo, the god of Ryukyu mythology.
There are minimal facilities such as a parking lot and restrooms here, so please be careful with your steps and feel the power of the mountain.
