Former Navy Underground Bunker - Very good value tickets and easy to find site. Very well presented and informative exhibition followed by an interesting walk through the tunnels.

A Great War Sites - The Navy Underground Headquarters was a great and unique experience. The museum provides a lot of information on the Battle of Okinawa in both Japanese and English. They also have a collection of historical items found in the tunnels on display. My friends and I enjoyed are time here and we felt it was very educational. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to visit a few historical sites while in Okinawa.

Moving.. - Very solemn location. Informative and moving. War is horrible. Peace in the world .. now more than ever. My father served in WWII on Okinawa the horrors of the war led him to becoming a pacifist.

This place is worth the visit - highly recommend. - We were on a cruise & had the day in this area & decided to see the underground headquarters. We caught a taxi & so worth the expense to visit this place and have plenty of time to see it. The entry fee was very cheap. There are taxi that comes & goes & was able to be taken back to our ship. Highly recommend to visit

Former Navy HQ - It was very informative and interesting. The staff were pleasant. The tunnels lead to different areas of the headquarters. If you're very tall, you'll need to bend your head a few times while in the tunnel. It was an overall good experience.

The sad signal from the former naval headquarters - I think the number of Japanese who experienced the war is decreasing, and the memories are fading. I went to Okinawa to learn about what it was like at the time, as it was a fierce battlefield and a place that experienced a painful past.
I want the whole country to continue to talk about the horrific events of war, from the struggles at headquarters to do something, to the suffering of military personnel and their families, to the various circumstances that drove them to the brink, and to leave them for future generations.

Interesting and definately worth a visit - It was a very sobering experience. The tunnels were very interesting to see but it was also very sad to think of what they all went through. In saying that, I am glad we went to visit.

Must See in Okinawa - If you are interested in WWII, this is an amazing site. You really get a feel for the war's impact on the island of Okinawa. We learned so much.

A piece of history - Very affordable. Many signs in English. Makes you think of the horrors of war and the plight of Okinawa’s people to be drawn into conflict.
