Okinawa is known as “Japan's Hawaii” for its rich and varied scenery and unique mix of Southeast Asian, Chinese and Japanese architecture. It is also known as the birthplace of karate. The local economy is heavily dependent on tourism and fishing – the surrounding ocean is rich in fish due to its location on a continental shelf. Popular attractions include Shuri Castle and Shureimon Gate.

Just a 2.5 hour flight from mainland Japan is my favorite getaway destination, Okinawa's beaches are absolutely stunning and captivating. My husband and I stay in Okuma and had a blast snorkeling and swimming in the crystal clear water. #wintergetaway

Bi Shumin once said: "Everyone is a tadpole when they are born. When they grow up, they turn into frogs at the bottom of the well. This is not your fault, but your limitation, but you have to think of making up for it." How to make up for it? In fact, travel is the best answer. On the road, explore unfamiliar surroundings, meet interesting aliens, experience different local customs, and learn a new language ... more hiking, you will see a wider world
