Okinawa
The only thing better than a nationwide ice cream tour is doing it without leaving the city.
Sometimes it’s not that the food isn’t delicious, it’s just you don’t have enough life experience to enjoy it yet.
American diner chain in Okinawa has a special offer that a lot of Japanese locals don’t know about.
Spanning from the north of the country to the south, these might be four of the best places in all of Japan to enjoy a cold one.
Its mysterious outer coating is not burned but simply incorporates one special ingredient.
This Okinawan singer has a last name so rare, only 1 every 90,000 people in Japan have it!
