Okinawa Did Not Feel Like Japan... It Felt Like America

Okinawa did not feel like the Japan I knew. Staying in Sunabe near Chatan and American Village, I heard English everywhere, saw massive cars and experienced the strong American influence of Okinawa’s main island.

In this Okinawa travel vlog, I cycle around the main island, explore Ryukyuan culture and spontaneously take a ferry to Aka Island, where quiet beaches, clear blue water and Ryukyu deer finally give me the tropical Okinawa experience I imagined.

And just when I feel relaxed and ready to return to Tokyo, a typhoon traps me at Okinawa Airport for 36 hours.

A very peaceful ending to my solo trip.
