Dear Erica.
DeleteHappy New Year! Thank you very much for your comment.
You have just shared some interesting and beautiful photos. My Korean friend in Seoul loves Okinawa so much that he has to visit it yearly and has plans to retire there! This tempted me to visit too but that would be my last destination after I have covered all Japan. Okinawa is a bit too far off and the air tickets are not cheap too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend my friend.
Dear Twilight Man.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment. I hope you will visit Okinawa soon. I think it takes a few times to enjoy Okinawa sufficiently.

Amazing places, historical places from Okinawa and gorgeous sightseeings, at the shore or with the big stones forrest! I'm so amazed by the fortress-type gusuku in images above.

このような石の建物を見ると、ああー、やっぱり沖縄人とは人種が違うというか、異国と言う感じがしますね。
ReplyDeleteお正月から、旅行が出来て、うらやましいというか、なんというか、ラッキー！ 大変興味深いポストでした。
