Tokyo, Yokosuka and Okinawa--Japan

Chesapeake Travel Blog › entry 1 of 28 › view trip summary

In March 08 I had to go to Yokosuka on business, but the trip also afforded opportunities to visit Tokyo and join Jenny for leave in Jenny's birthplace--Okinawa. My objective in Tokyo was to ride the biggest Ferris Wheel in the city (Japanese: 展覧車 (tenransha) or 大観覧車 (daikanransha) or (kanransh) at Kasai Rinkai Park. Our time in Okinawa was magical, with good weather, beautiful scenery/sunsets/beaches, and reunions with many friends from our time stationed there 2003-05.

No but the tea ceremony on Okinawa is a "must see" at least for Jenny. There is a big buddist temple south of Tokyo towards Yokosuka visible from the Narita JR line train. You can visit the WWI Japanese battleship at Yokosuka. ~Jeff
