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.

Okinawa & Hawaii

I found a YouTube video clip featuring a former Hawaiian Sumo wrestler Konishiki and a popular singer from Okinawa, Rimi Natsukawa. Jake Shimabukuro, a ukulele virtuoso of Hawaiian-born, Okinawan decsent, is appropreately invited to perform his instrument for the concert. Enjoy the beautiful blend of Okinawan & Hawaiian melodies.
