Okinawa trip : 4

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I went on a trip to Okinawa for 2 days and 1 night with my friend,last month.
It was a short trip, but that was a very fulfilling trip.

After visiting Shuri Castle,we went to a drive to south of Okinawa.
We dropped by a cafe.


The cafe was "Umibe no chaya".
It means a seaside teahouse.


This is the seaside teahouse.
It is adjacent to a coast.


We could overlook a coast from the seats of the windows.


Unfortunately, in ebb, we could not look at a beautiful ocean view.
The sea breeze felt nice.


We made a toast with tropical juice.

Though we were disappointed the ebb, we were healed by the atmosphere of the cafe.

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I went on a trip to Okinawa for 2 days and 1 night with my friend,last month.
It was a short trip, but that was a very fulfilling trip.



The second day of the trip,that was good weather.
We borrowed a rental car and went for a drive.

At first we went to Shuri Castle in the morning.


This is "Shureimon".
It is a main gate of Shuri Castle.
We went to Shuri Castle passing through this gate.


This is a main shrine of Shuri Castle.
It was the palace of the Ryūkyū Kingdom.



It is unlike the traditional castle of Japan.
Shuri Castle was strongly influenced by Chinese culture,because trade with China was prosperous in the Ryukyu dynasty.


This is an Emperor's chair.
The decoration was very beautiful.


The atmosphere of Shuri Castle was such as the foreign country,that was very wonderful.
We were impressed by Shuri Castle.

Okinawa trip : 1

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I went on a trip to Okinawa for 2 days and 1 night with my friend,last month.
It was a short trip, but that was a very fulfilling trip.


Okinawa prefecture is located in the southwestern part of Japan.
It is in a subtropical region, and popular resort area.
We went from our hometown Fukuoka to Okinawa by airplane.

The airline which we used this time was Peach Aviation.
