3. OKINAWA

Okinawa is a south island town in Japan. It takes two hours from Tokyo by plane. I love Okinawa and I’ve been there three times. Okinawa is a good resort area and a very warm town all year round. The beautiful sea is a famous spot there and there is a big aquarium. The houses are built using stones. Anyway, Okinawa has a very unique culture. Some people in Okinawa speak strange Japanese that I can't understand, eat some special food like bitter melons and skin of pigs etc. They are much more easy-going than those in Tokyo. So you can be very relaxed by the sea, with good food and a slow pace of life.

Overall, Japan has very exciting, fantastic and beautiful places! I’m sure that Tokyo is a good city, but, if possible, please try to visit other places that I recommend. Needless to say, I can’t introduce all the places in Japan. So I want you to find your own best place in Japan!

Thank you for reading!!
