Sakima Art Museum

The Sakima Art Museum displays large-scale paintings depicting wartime events through collections spread across multiple exhibition spaces within its modern building.

Following the return of military land in 1992, the museum opened in 1994 to showcase artworks focusing on the Battle of Okinawa and other war-related themes.

The permanent collection features the Maruki couple's paintings, including their monumental work measuring four by eight meters that portrays the Battle of Okinawa.

The museum welcomes visitors from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM except Tuesdays, with admission fees ranging from 300 yen for children to 700 yen for adults.

The architectural design includes a rooftop observation point that aligns with the sunset during the Memorial Day for the Battle of Okinawa on June 23rd.
