We flew out to Okinawa to experience a different side of Japan - swapping the city life for a more relaxed island atmosphere. While the weather was a little overcast, the rain thankfully stayed away for most of our visit.
Our time was spent wandering through local markets, doing more than our fair share of shopping, exploring the famous Kokusai-Dori Street, and visiting the unique American Village, one of Okinawa’s most popular waterfront precincts.
💡 Fun Fact: American Village was built on the site of a former U.S. military base and was designed to recreate an American-style town. Today, it’s known for its colourful buildings, shopping, restaurants, and stunning sunset views over the East China Sea.
