Torii Beach (Yomitan)

Japan / Okinawa / Yomitan

Torii Beach did not exist when I was stationed at ASA Torii Station in 1965.

The photo was taken at Yomitan, a peninsula 7 kilometers above present-day Torii Beach. Duty on Okinawa was considered a kind of paradise in the mid-1960s. The photo shows why.
