It is on the other side of the road to the Cape Kannon Lighthouse, a grave of the memorial service of the victims of the case occurring in 1852.
Chinese workers received too terrible treatment on the way to California, America from the mainland China by ship,
so they mutinied and killed the captain a few other crew.
And the ship which the Chinese workers took ran aground off Ishigaki Island,
and they were suppressed by the British and American soldiers who followed them, in which 128 people died.
However, the survivors who received the help such as food or the booth from islanders
and the king were able to return to the mainland China safely, which was recorded in the history.
The grave was built to worship the Chinese workers.
It is a precious monument to know the humanity of the people of Okinawa.
