A small marshland at the end of the runway

2024-02-21: We arrived without issue at the Naha Airport, and since we were in the neighborhood, we drove over to the end of the runway to look for the "Triangular Pond". The pond was very underwhelming although we later learned that we went to the wrong place.
2024-02-22: During the night, I learned that we had visited the wrong area for the "Triangle Pond" the day before, so we had to make an annoying 45 minute 5km drive in the morning to try again. It was everything that I had hoped for.
