They made children wear a wooden card around the neck for speaking their own language. In Ireland, it was a stick with a notch cut for every word. Okinawa called it the hōgen fuda. Ireland called it the bata scóir. Both only came off when the kid turned in a classmate, so the punishment turned children into informants on each other. And it didn’t stop at language. Okinawa’s sugar economy collapsed and people ate poisonous cycad palm to survive. They called it cycad hell. Ireland’s potatoes faile

Sakitari Cave in the south holds the oldest fish hooks ever found anywhere on Earth, twenty three thousand years old. Katsuren Castle turned up Roman coins, the first ever dug up in Japan. Zakimi Castle in Yomitan has stood on its own stone for six hundred years, five minutes from our office. Then Satsuma in 1609, annexation in 1879, and 1945 on these beaches. Okinawa didn’t go back to Japan until 1972. My neighbors remember it. Twenty three thousand years on an island you can drive in a day. Do

Eight years here and these are the words I actually use. Not textbook Japanese. The stuff that comes up when you’re pulling into a campsite, parking something bigger than everyone else, or standing at a gas station trying to fill the tank. Sugoi. Meccha kakkoii. Itadakimasu. Sumimasen. Chotto matte. Onegaishimasu. And the one nobody teaches you. Mantan onegaishimasu. Fill it up, please. Two words and the whole interaction is over. Save this for your trip. Which one did I miss? Campervan rentals

The Bisefukugi Tree Road in Motobu might be the best day trip we’ve done in Okinawa all year. Three hundred year old fukugi trees arching over a sandy lane, tide pools at the far end, bikes and scooters for rent, and coffee shops hidden between the houses. It’s three minutes from Churaumi and most people drive straight past it. Bring an hour, stay for three. Save this one for your Okinawa RV adventure!

Part two of the five questions everybody had about the new nonstop to Okinawa. Visas, the International Driving Permit that Americans keep showing up without, and why skipping the rental car is not an option on an island seventy miles long with one monorail. I have watched families get turned away at the counter with the whole trip booked. Twenty dollars and ten minutes prevents it. And at the end, the legal way around the accommodation tax I mentioned in part one. Part one is on the profile if

Five questions decide whether your Okinawa trip works. Here are the first two, and the second one just got more expensive (Part 1 of a two part video) . United just announced the first nonstop from the US mainland to Okinawa since 1972, San Francisco to Naha starting March 2027, and the comments filled up with the same questions over and over. So I’m answering all five. This is part one. When to come, including the two things nobody mentions about winter here, cherry blossoms in January and hump

San Francisco to Naha starts in 2027, and a lot of those passengers are going to land here and find out they legally can’t drive. Okinawa is not a train island. One short monorail in Naha and that’s it. No vehicle, no beaches, no north. So here’s the longer version of what’s in the video. Japan only accepts the 1949 Geneva Convention permit. Open the booklet and check that it actually says 19 September 1949. A 1968 Vienna Convention permit is not valid here, and driving on one is treated the sam

Big news for anyone in the States who’s been putting off an Okinawa trip. United Airlines just announced the first ever nonstop flight from the US mainland to Okinawa. San Francisco straight to Naha, no layover in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul or Hong Kong. Here’s what we know so far. Service starts March 27th, 2027, flown on a Boeing 777. Three flights a week out of San Francisco, Monday, Thursday and Saturday, departing 10:35 in the morning and landing in Okinawa the following afternoon at 3:50. Coming
