Jade beach in Itoigawa (Niigata Prefecture) is a hidden gem of Japan. The beach looks good and is a place for bathing and a perfect destination for a natural treasure hunt. If you are lucky then you might find Jade on this beach. Try to stay until sunset if possible; you might see a stunning sunset view.

The Ryujin centipede, which has just been registered as a new species in Okinawa, It is the largest centipede in Japan country. Jade-colored paws are characteristic. Centipedes have a strong image of being ferocious, but the individuals I met were at least mild-mannered. They are known to be strong mothers and continue to raise their offspring born from eggs for a while. In addition, if you are in a good mood, it will clean your sense of touch, so it is easy to understand the feeling. If you're hungry, you'll be in a bad mood, so watch out :)

Many goats are bred in Okinawa. If you are interested and want to stroke it, be sure to check with the owner. Be careful when you pet a goat and face each other, as it will headbutt you thinking that the goat will play with you. It's better to line up next to :)

Okinawa is home to many rare animals and plants. One of them is a bird called Okinawa rail. Instead of losing their ability to fly, they gained the tough leg strength to run quickly on land. Currently, it is registered as an endangered species and efforts are being made to protect it. With these legs, you can easily run up trees over 20 meters, You will climb the 5m cliff in no time. It is said that the activity is held during the day, Young individuals go out and play at night. Their greatest natural enemies are cars driven by humans. In other words, don't overspeed when driving in Okinawa :)
