Concerning Kadena Cho


Noguni Soukan
Noguni Soukan and the Town of Kadena

 The Town of Kadena wishes to learn from our forefather Noguni Sokan, regarded as one of the three greatest benefactors of the Ryukyus, his internationalism and pioneer spirit which are qualities necessary for living in modern times. We have chosen Noguni Sokan as our town symbol, with a vision of development of human resources and stimulation of the town of Kadena in the 21st century
