From the stories of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the sacred traditions of Kudaka Island to local food, hidden spots, and Okinawa’s lively nights, I’ll show you more than the usual tourist sights.

I love connecting people with the real Okinawa through history, culture, food, nature, and good conversation.
