Okinawa City is located in central Okinawa Prefecture and is about 40 minutes by car or taxi from Naha Airport using the expressway. With a population of about 140,000, it is the second most populous city in Okinawa Prefecture after Naha City. The average annual climate of Okinawa City is 22°C, and even in winter, it rarely falls below 10°C. Okinawa City was born in 1974 by the merger of Koza City and Misato Village, and since there are US military bases such as Kadena Air Base, it creates a unique atmosphere where Japanese and American cultures mix. You can feel American-influenced music and food culture throughout the city. Let's take a look at some of the attractive sightseeing spots in Okinawa City! A 5-minute drive from Okinawa Kita Interchange is "Chura Yashi Park Okinawa Southeast Botanical Garden". It is one of the largest large-scale botanical gardens in Japan, where you can see more than 1,300 species of rare plants from the tropics and subtropics in the two areas of the "Water Paradise Area" and the "Botanical Garden Area". In addition to plants, you can interact with animals such as capybaras and squirrel monkeys, and the "Okinawa Tropical Illumination" is held from late October to late May every year.

I went ? to Kashima Jingu Shrine [Nishi Ichinotorii gate] built in Kitaura and my car Legacy B4? And the shrine ? of [Mitarai Pond] at the end of Okunoin and [Inari Daimyojin] where the torii gate in the foreground is not painted vermilion for some reason

Kagawa Prefecture Megijima "Sumiyoshi Shrine Grand Festival" festival dedicated to the god of the island – The shrine festival at Megijima island There is a surprisingly unknown island culture Kagawa Prefecture and in Takamatsu City Megijima and Ogijima take turns holding a summer festival every year, carrying a drum stand made of ropes handed down in Isshi Sōden and parading around the island. As the name suggests, the god of the island is a woman, and it has been handed down as a festival forbidden to women since ancient times so as not to be jealous. Drum stands are dropped and rolled wildly toward the gods, and at the end of the festival, the drum stands go into the sea. It seemed difficult to go through the small torii gate.

When I visited Megijima for the first time in a long time, a festival was being held on that day, so I took a picture.

It's a small festival, but I hope that traditional culture and festivals like this will be passed on to future generations so that they do not decline.

I landed ?️ in the unexplored area of Minamiboso [Okinoshima] ... Even though it is called landfall, it is currently connected to the land by a sandbar, so it is strictly classified as [Riku Shigejima]. The sandbar part is a beach, so it is crowded with people in the summer, but the island is ? rather less popular. In such an area on the island, there is a place where you can enjoy a [secret cave] and a raised [ancient strata] as a ? set.
