Kouri Island / Kouri Island is located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa. This is a photo taken in midsummer with the view from Yagaji Island. I, Uchinanchu (Okinawan) are also impressed by this scenery ^^ Cobalt blue is deep and emerald green is shallow. Ferries come through Cobalt Blue. It is beautiful if the sun is out even in winter, but I want to see this color! If so, it is recommended to come around the summer solstice, when the position of the sun is at the top. Don't let a typhoon come...

Ikei Bridge / It is a red bridge that connects Miyagi Island and Ikei Island through the underwater road in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. The emerald green sea is very beautiful. It's more transparent and very beautiful when viewed from the bridge! The rainy season in Okinawa ends from mid-June to early July, when the color of the sea is most vivid. It is recommended to come around the summer solstice! However, it is typhoon season, so we can only (-_-;) pray when it comes.
