- Nyatiya Sinus, located up to 10 minutes by car from Ie Island Port, is a natural grotto. It is said that a wish comes true if a woman who wants to be blessed with a child lifts a lifting stone (bijiruishi) so it is popular as a spiritual place. As it was used to accommodate many people as air-raid shelter during World War II, it is also known as the “one thousand people cave (gama)”.

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
