The battle of Okinawa was the longest, bloodiest and the largest sea-land-air in the Pacific War. That is how American people describe the battle. Okinawan describe it as "the typhoon of steel and bombs!" About one in four Okinawan people perished their lives. When you climb up to the top of Hacksaw Ridge, you can get a clear idea of how a fierce battle was fought and how tough Desmond Doss served to save 75 soldiers. In addition to visiting the six places in the itinerary, this tour leads you to witness the locations in the order of major events that happened during the Battle of Okinawa including "The April 1 US Invasion Beach, " "The Kakazu Ridge, " "The Sugar Loaf site, " and "The June 4 US landing on the Oroku Peninsula, " "The Big Apple Ridge, " and "The Mabuni Hill". The battle of Okinawa caused a tremendous loss to both Japan and the US. You will realize how important life is and how precious peace is. Join me, a history-loving local guide, on my tour around the war historical sites!
