Naha Station Monument

The turning platform of Naha station of Okinawa prefectural road is preserved

Original Text

It is located at Asahibashi Station on the Yui Rail. Speaking of railways, Okinawa is now a Yui Rail, but before the war there was an ordinary railway, and Naha Station is the bus terminal next to the current Asahibashi Station. The turning table was discovered and preserved in the redevelopment, and it is a memorial.

Naha bus terminal

Original Text

In front of the Naha Bus Terminal, there is a brick turntable and a railway monument. Until the prewar period, there was a light rail dedicated to freight, and Naha Station was around the current bus terminal. There were also photos of that time in the guide version, so I was able to take a interesting tour.

This is between Asahibashi Station and Bus Terminal on the Yui Rail. It opened as a station on the Yonabara Line in December 1914, extending the Kadena Line and Itoman Line, and contributed to the modernization of Okinawa as a key axis of land transportation, but the station building and facilities were destroyed by the ten air raid in 1944. , After that, in March 1945, the line was virtually discontinued, and now only the brick circle remains.

When I used the bus terminal, I took a walk to kill time about early. It was good that this monument had a detailed explanation and I was able to make a history.

On the sidewalk near Naha bus terminal

Original Text

There was only a monument showing the site on the sidewalk near Naha Bus Terminal. Currently, there is only a bus terminal under construction, so I don't know how the station monument after completion will be handled, but it was never a conspicuous monument. However, since it is an explanation board with a photo, it was a convenient monument to understand the contents.
