A fun fact about Okinawa: a majority of Nikkei in Peru have roots in Okinawa. I believe that is also true in Brazil.

Beautiful video ! I would love to visit Okinawa. My mother was born there in 1935 and came to live in the United States around 1960. She never had the chance to return. I would like to take an extended trip to Okinawa in her memory one day. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I was stationed in Okinawa with the US Navy from 1987-89. Near Kadina Air Force Base. I would love to return for a visit one day. The people of Okinawa are very kind and hospitable.

Thanks! Another great video with comprehensive information! And in our opinion your comments at the end of it where extremely good and in total agreement with other YouTubers we watch! The one thing that makes your video especially good is that a viewer can get all the helpful information in one video, rather than having to watch many videos. It might be better if you could experiment with the recording of sound on-site or balance the sound more when editing. We not visiting Okinawa soon we will certainly look to your video as a resource when the time comes. Please continue your good work!

First time I seen Okinawa I was excited in 1968! Landed at Kadena and taken to Camp Hansen (Kin Village)! Ended up spending 2 years and none of the hotels were there! We seen the island on motor cycle and the roads were all dirt roads and paths! What a beautiful island and I loved it. Last time I was there for only one year was in 1983!

[albiewong]

Very impressive, and well explained, and calm, relaxing, and beautiful video! I am looking forward to my trip to Okinawa in August.. Hopefully no hurricane or typhoon. And plenty of awamori.. at Hyakunagaran. Thanks!

Thanks Ken Chan for another video update on the JR pass. We’ll be visiting Japan November this year and will buy the JR pass through the JTB USA agency to get the exchange voucher sent to our house. This way, we can take advantage of the current lower rate before October 2023. We enjoy watching your videos and the helpful information you provide.
