A roadside station in Kadena town whose fourth-floor rooftop gallery is the only public spot in Japan offering a direct, legal view over a US military airfield's runways. Visitors watch fighter jets, tankers, and transport aircraft take off and land while reading exhibits on the base's footprint in central Okinawa, alongside a food court serving taco rice and local specialties.
