There are some great events coming up in Okinawa!

April isn’t only the perfect time to hit Okinawa’s beautiful beaches, it’s also time to get athletic!

On a hot summer day in August, I headed to Kouri-jima, an island off the coast of Okinawa’s Nakijin Village.

Festival season in Okinawa continues with the rock ballads of We The Kings headlining the Camp Schwab Festival.

Last year in early May I set out for the north to hit the beach.

In Japan, pineapples grow in only two prefectures: Okinawa and Kagoshima.

Hunting for strawberries for 40 minutes at Kafu Strawberry Farm’s greenhouse made me sweat like I would in summer. So, I decided to cool off at Kunjitahama, just south of Camp Schwab.

Kouri Island is a relaxing getaway from Okinawa’s main island with beautiful beaches to help you disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature.

It’s time for the azaleas to ring in the arrival of spring in Okinawa. After the cherry blossoms depart, the colorful azaleas enchant visitors and locals during the season.

Here are the spring events to look forward to on Okinawa.
