Beachgoers to Okinawa’s Motobu Town area may have come across a unique rock formation as they check out its surrounding coral and schools of tropical fish that live there. This huge rock is known as the “Gorilla Chop,” a moniker it earned because it looks like a gorilla performing a karate chop. Can you see it now?
You may catch a glimpse of this unofficial landmark on your way to Sakimotobu Ryokuchi Koen, so make sure to stop next time you can travel off base and get a closer look. To me, the rock seems to pose like a large ape reaching for a blonde star or getting ready for a fight with Godzilla.
(No ties to King Kong or Donkey Kong have been confirmed.)
