Himeyuri no To and memorial museum ひめゆりの塔・ひめゆり平和祈念資料館
A full-size model of the hospital cave where they died, in the museum next door.
The monument was erected in 1946, the year after the end of the Battle of Okinawa, in memory of the pupils of the Women's Normal School and the First Girls' High School of Naha who were mobilised as a nursing corps. The museum beside it is run by the association of surviving former pupils.
