English Version
Cape Kyan, located in Itoman City at the southern tip of Okinawa’s main island, is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of soldiers, injured people, and even a woman said to have no nose.
During the Battle of Okinawa, this area is said to have been one of the final places reached by Japanese soldiers and local residents who had nowhere left to flee. Because of that history, many people are believed to have lost their lives here.
The cape is also known for its steep cliffs, and even today there are said to be many suicides in the area. Some people wonder, quietly and uneasily, whether those who come here are being drawn in by something unseen.
If you visit, treat the site with respect. Stay on safe paths, avoid the cliff edge, and do not enter restricted or dangerous areas.

兵隊やけがをした人の霊、鼻のない女性の霊が出るという噂が言われている。沖縄戦の際に、逃げ場を失った日本兵や住民の最後の場所であった。ゆえにここで命途絶えたものもかなりの数にのぼったもよう。断崖絶壁のため現在も自殺者が多くいるようだが、これは何者かに引き寄せられているということはないのだろうか。沖縄県糸満市喜屋武1156-2
