Natsukashii: Uchinaa Nu Umui

Book excerpt: NATSUKASHII: Uchinaa nu umui / Old Times: Reflections of Okinawa offers you an extensive up close and personal experience as you follow me day by day, throughout my last five trips to Okinawa. I detail what it's like to live and play on the island by way of reading daily accounts complemented by historical details that are woven into my dialogue as well as links to hundreds of my videos that allow you to accompany me on adventures from underwater caves to the majestic top of Rainmaker Mountain. Ride along as I take you on windshield tours along the Okinawa Expressway and down country roads of remote outlying islands. Sail with me as I ferry to Ieshima or slog through the mud with me at a rice field festival. Traipse along through tall grass or laze at a chimujiruban. This book will get you as close as you can get to the real Okinawa without actually being there - which is kinda nice now since COVID has shut the door on vacation travel to Japan.
