House of Nuchi du Takara

The Nuchi du Takara no Ie Museum displays photographs, banners, and handwritten documents that chronicle the impact of military activities on Okinawa's civilian population.

Founded by Ahagon Shoko, a local landowner who opposed military land acquisition, the museum preserves documentation of post-World War II Okinawan resistance movements.

The museum name translates to 'Life is a Treasure House', reflecting Okinawan values and their commitment to maintaining local traditions through educational programs.

Located 5 minutes by car from Ie Port, the museum requires advance reservations and charges entrance fees of 300 yen for adults and 200 yen for students.

The facility maintains original protest materials and personal accounts from residents who experienced the transformation of their agricultural land into military installations.
