let’s go to the beach oh look at that this is the eve [Music] Beach it has 2 km white stand and the green sea it has SED as the Japanese best 100 beaches the impression of this beach is always changing by its Eve and fr and the weather now the time is real tight and the weather is a little bit cloudy so if you have time please visit this beach several times in your stay and in addition the wind of this island is so so strong and several typhoons hit this island in the summer so you should take care when you visit here in summer [Music] season now let’s take a walk again I think this scenery is [Music] perfect the Sun is setting into the beautiful mountains and those sugar canes are waving in the wind great atmosphere let’s go back to the beach again as I already told you the impression of this beach is quite different by when you are [Music] here now we are here at the sunset time the color of the sea is totally changing from the noon this is also quite good [Music] now let’s have some meal at this isaka restaurant there are several isaka restaurants are here you can enjoy the traditional meals of Kima this is an only convenience store at here you can buy kumesen a famous okas alcohol it’s nice to drink it around in the hotel I don’t have other choices good night good [Music] morning the ocean view from here is also great today we going to go to go around this island with this bike [Music] I borrowed it from a guest house but there are some rent car shops around here the scenery is of morning sea is quite [Music] beautiful now let’s go to that crib this is a great Okinawa style so big that is called toino Cuchi a bird’s mouse fny [Music] froods let’s [Music] go as I mentioned the wind of this island is so strong please take [Music] care that is called a bird’s Mouse I thought this is like a snake’s Mouse instead what do you think I thought I could go through this path B it was so tough indeed a kind of poisonous snake called Habu exists on this island we have to take much care the scenery from this C is sorry I’m speechless other islands like M Kojima isak kijima and Taiwan is far away from you [Music] it’s so nice to visit this place I definitely recommend now let’s have lunch here what a great location you can enjoy nice pizza here a great ocean view expands in front of this restaurant the length of here is so high I guess now let’s drive to another remote island the look from this bridge is especially great it’s so curious why is the Sea of this island is so green this is called oima there is a nationally designated natural Monument over there it’s called tatami isi tatami is a kind of Japanese specific mat you can see it in old houses of Japan and isi means a stone actually the tatami has a shape of square but these stones are shaped like pentagon or hexagon it looks like a shell of territory indeed a thousand of those unique stones are gathered but originally these stones are one big lock initially a suon bcan was elected and magma was generated the magma slowly got cold and those cracks were made by that process you can cre the greatness of nature here a sudden score often falls on this island we have to wait for a while and it suddenly stops the statue is about an old story called urashimataro he went a castle in the deep sea Lio right finding on shell of the turtle many Japanese Islands have same kind of that story oh wait what’s this oh this is a kind of hermit crab I’ve never seen it before this electricity pole sends the electric to another island called [Music] ojima the poles are standing at the sea this is one of the icon scenery of [Music] Kima now let’s move to another spot we drive to the top of that mountain this place is called uusu Mountain once there was a castle on the top of course you can read the English explain it is unknown when the castle was built but it was definitely before 16th century in 1510 in the era of Shashi first Ru King this Castle was destroyed by him and Kima was conquered by Liu Kingdom these locks were the leftovers of the castle the atmosphere is like Machu pitu i s sorry I’ve never been to Machu pitu in fact the scenery from here is the highest one of Oka scenery because actually this here is the highest place of Okinawa including all of that islands and you can see all the places of Kima from here all around this island this is different definitely one of the best places of Kima you can’t miss it let’s move to another [Music] Castle this is called Gushi Kawa Castle it is told that this Castle was built in the early 15th century oh what is totor rock actually Toto is one of the best lock band in the world that is a hor lock because they sld a goddess called chimp SATA lock that castle was destroyed by sh shingo who was the king of lq at the time this was built by East China Sea so the scenery is perfect there are many rocks that have curious shape that lock is called muga that is considered as a symbol of women I don’t know the reason why it is told that when a woman pray for this lock she will be breasted with a child you can find so many natural fossils here too the houses of this island is also beautiful they have strong individuality totally different from other prefectures this is a kind of shrine called chimp doni this was built for a goddess called chimp who sat on the tot Rock she was considered as one of the best gods in in this island now today’s Final spot this is called Kumo Goan Matsu a kind of okino pine tree this tree is 250 years old selected as a Japanese best 100 pine trees I return back so let’s have dinner here sorry this last round is fly booked tonight how about this one oh they’re Crossing all through this week it’s a shame how about this [Music] one finally we’ve got the table here it is common sense in ‘s remote island because there aren’t so many restaurants but the tourists have no choice but to have dinner in those restaurants so I strongly recommend booking the table anyway it’s good to have cuisine of Kima here fried potatoes and the aamori is the best combination you should try it [Music] indeed if you can’t find your table this convenience store will save your life so rest assured good morning this is the last day in Kima today we visit a beach called haoh Hama that means a beach at the end AB brother is already preparing I wor the safety equipment too let’s go the weather is so nice we go to that beach by this small boat today the captain said they use a kind of grass boat normally but the engine of that boat was broken this time it’s a shame the sea around here is famous of its sea turtle if we got the grass boat we might have watched the turtle above from them oh do they want on the turtle sorry I couldn’t catch them those small irons are made from Cora Reef once upon a time they were under the sea but now they are above the sea the captain told us [Music] so now we have finally arrived at Hao hmer this is haoh Hama the end of Kima the end of Okinawa that’s a toilet over there only one at this beach we stay 2 hours from now the beach is made by Coral sand and they are so white and the color of the is so clear so green as far as the eye can see the white sand the green sea and the blue sky that’s all Hao hmer is composed of three [Music] beaches now we are at the beach called nakano Hama the center of those beaches [Music] mayoh Hama is at rest and haoh Hammer the same name is at East Side correctively we call them haoh Hama I felt I were in heaven [Music] indeed let’s eat onigiri in [Music] Heaven I recommend visiting here when you don’t want to sing [Music] anything it’s about time to go back goodbye hat [Music] can we find the sea turtle this [Music] time wow finally we got them the sea around here is one of the best spots to find sea turtle in fact I saw several sea turtles in the anyway that was a great experience don’t you think now it’s time to go back to nah City at the main island of Okinawa before that let’s have lunch here at the near of fairy terminal the captain brought me here I found a [Music] diner okin so is always good the fairy has already arrived what a curious shape it’s like a turtle [Music] indeed now let’s go back to nah [Music] City this time we stayed two nights in Kima it was so wonderful we could have have so much [Music] experience but if you have enough [Music] time maybe it’s good to stay one more night then you can enjoy this island more by the way I recorded this instrumental song soon after I came back to Osa from Okinawa when I was traveling in Okinawa the melody was always linging in my brain and the sound of main melody was played by sanin okinawa’s traditional instrument soon I bought a cheap Sunshine made by empty can and pray this i s Kima gave me this song [Music] last night in Okinawa there are no choice but to have some okinawa’s traditional meal this street is called makishi shopping street that I introduced in the previous movie I found an isaka restaurant the atmosphere is so nice the last beer of our days in ninawa actually I came Okinawa in about 6 years ago and that was my first visit to Okinawa and I came to this restaurant at the time but I forgot the name and the place but I found them again I was so lucky because the meals of this restaurant is so nice and stuff is so kind am more almost of the customers are local people so the atmosphere Isn’t So touristic you can enjoy Real orino Food and mood I don’t dare to tell you the name of this restaurant please find it to yourself when you come [Music] here let’s walk around naha City’s night this word is read as s it means you can get drunk too much if you have 1, Yen normally you can have three glasses of beer or some alcohol and some small meal by 1,000 yen this Z star is so popular in Okinawa but recently we can find it in other prefectures oh this is called Habu aori with ok’s poisonous snake they say it’s good to health because the snakes are very nutrious I’m not sure about that anyway the atmosphere is so [Music] good now we are at sidei the international Street we can feel some Improv uences from us China and other countries of Southeast Asia and they are mixed with Liu’s original culture that makes the Vibes of Okinawa I think this is one of the most interesting places in Japan through this trip I stronger so D good night [Music] now let’s finish our trip thank you so much for watching this movie I’m not good at English so it takes much time to make a movie but I’ll upload my next movie soon see you next time [Music]
