The Tomari International Cemetery is a small cemetery in [[Tomari]], one of the main port areas of [[Naha]]. It contains the graves of 22 foreign individuals from the 18th through early 20th centuries, and roughly 300 from the postwar period, mostly those of Americans killed in the Battle of Okinawa, Korean War, or Vietnam War, or those regularly resident in Okinawa at the time of their death. The cemetery was destroyed in the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, but was rebuilt by the US Civil Administration of the Ryukyus (USCAR) and the City of Naha, reopening on June 30, 1955.
