Average priced "Thing To Do" in Okinawa, Japan
Juliali39 says: This is a park that actually has an obstacle course thru a jungle! It is high adventure and not for the weak at heart! You begin at the main office where you are transported via a shuttle bus up to the jungle. This is also the last place for a "western style" toilet, after that it is just "squatt…

Average priced "Restaurants" in Chatan, Japan

This place is English friendly and has 3-4 different stouts and other dark English-type beers (usually made by microbrewers in Japan). I don't care for dark beers myself but I…

Free! "Thing To Do" in Nago, Japan

Free! "Thing To Do" in Nakadomari, Japan
jennjeff1 says: The crystal turquoise-blue waters off Okinawa, especially at sunset, should be viewed from this little traditional Okinawan village.
