Publisher's Description
I had an itch to wander through some distant city, so without hesitation, we headed to Okinawa. A friend who loves the southern islands was all for it, saying, “Now’s the time to go.” Beaches? Soki soba? My mental map of Okinawa was still blank. With an ocean that turns into an aquarium the moment you dive in, and a northern half that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, there’s plenty to explore. Steak, tacos, South Indian curry—everything I heard about the food was delicious. If it’s all true, then this island is a dream, and we just had to see it for ourselves. This book is POPEYE’s map of Okinawa, crafted from our days of eating, swimming, and exploring. As always, we walked with a sense of respect for the places we visited.
