Okinawa is well-known for its haunted caves left behind during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. At the end of the war, Japanese soldiers were instructed to commit suicide rather than surrender to the US army. Many civilians also killed themselves for the same reason. These soldiers and civilians chose to do so in various caves across Okinawa.

Today, you can find skull sculptures as a memorial to the historical yet tragic events. It is said that you will also see bones belonging to children, who were most probably killed by their parents themselves to ‘save’ them from the American troops. Visitors often go to the caves to offer prayers to their family members who died there. So if you’re looking for an adventure or two, plan a trip to Okinawa. It can be pretty exhilarating travelling through these caves.
