Okinawa

In his final adventure in Japan, Henry experiences traveling on monorail to Okinawa where he kicks off with a visit to the Churaumi Aquarium with a Japanese local. Since Okinawa is also known for its Tsuboya pottery, they decide to explore the Yomitan Pottery Village. With plans to fulfill Henry’s lack of martial arts training, they challenge themselves to a karate training session at the place where this art was birthed. At the old folk houses of Ryukyu-mura, they experience the simple sounds of the shamisen and the locals’ traditional ways of life. After admiring the limestone caves at Gyokusen Cave, they drop by Shuri Castle to discover more about the Ryukyu Kingdom. And finally, Henry wraps up his entire Japan adventure diving in the near-perfect waters of Zamami and Gahi Island.
