When we drive on the road, it would be a good idea to make a stop from time to time to take a break.

Yomitan Village on Okinawa makes for a relaxing destination for many who live near Camp Foster or Kadena Air Base.
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.
