A little side road from there takes you to this giant Yaeburu Rail. It is an endangered species located only on the northern part of the island. But, just in case you're wondering, they're not all this large!

The monument is a commemoration of the time when Okinawa returned back to Japanese rule. Looks like a fun trip had by all.
