About The Author

Welcome to OKINAWA LOCAL TOUR GUIDE'S BLOG.

This blog is created by a local tour guide born and raised in the northern region of Okinawa island. This lush mountainous area is locally known as Yanbaru, and the name means to the locals as a place to enjoy and appreciate nature.
I write, in a rather freewheeling manner, things I see and hear mainly in the nature-rich region of Okinawa . Okinawa is the southernmost prefecture in Japan. Come and experience this unique resort island in the heart of subtropical climate and blue ocean.

Hydrangeas (Ajisai) in Izumi Village

Rainy season in Okinawa is over; not yet in many parts of Japan. So if you are living or visiting places other than Okinawa, you might want to visit parks or gardens with lots of hydrangeas. Ajisai, as it is known in this country, comes with many colors, especially many shades of blue.
