Jan Visits Okinawa - Naha & The Main Island


Having been back in Japan for just one day, I headed down to Okinawa. The above is a picture of our hotel in Mihama, where we stayed the first night (New Year's Eve).	Happy 2008! After waking up in Okinawa, Yuka decided to rent a dog for 30 minutes. The hotel apparently rents the dogs out for free, and the guests can then walk the dogs for free.

After having walked the dog, we got into our rental car and visited the Cape Zanpa Lighthouse (Zanpa-misaki).	As the above and the following pictures show, the view from Cape Zanpa Lighthouse is quite amazing.

The cliffs as seen from Cape Zanpa Lighthouse on Okinawa's western coast.	A picture from Cape Manza, even further up on the western coast. It is a popular tourist attraction as the cliff looks like an elephant's nose, at least if you have smoked a sufficient amount of weed.
