Okinawa, the group of islands south of Japan, is our final destination on our 4 week trip. It took about 2 hours to fly here from Kansai airport. Kansai airport is fascinating in itself, built on a manmade island in the middle of the sea and which is now sinking.

Our start in Okinawa was a bit of a setback when we realized there was no way around an international driving license to rent a car as planned. So it will be either taxi or bus unfortunately. The rest of Japan is easy when it comes to public transport but Okinawa is a bit different and we’re staying at a remote resort. Luckily we are very much in the mood to relax for a few days and don’t mind taking the tempo down a few notches.
