in Japan, Japan2014, Ntrips, Trips
After Yonaguni, we flew back to Okinawa where the goal was mostly to dive, but while we were there, we got a rental car and went to visit some things around the island.
This isn't the rental car we picked up, but that was tempting :)
We first went to the Navy Underground Headquarters where the Japanese Navy generals hid and fought to the death when the US Marines came to take the island. It was both interesting and depressing:
some committed suicide by killing themselves with grenades
snake skin banjo like instruments are common in Okinawa
