In episode #5 I walk through Okuma, but I don't have a lot of footage from there. You should check out my travel video web site StrayCompassDOTcom to see the entire series. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy the videos.
Great videos.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.
Can you show anything about the diet or the food markets? I am very interested in this. Perhaps something about the martial arts or dancing… Great post =).
I have several other videos that deal with a few of those things. Heiwa-Dori for one. Unfortunately I don't have anything about martial arts, but number 16 is about Music and Dance in Okinawa.
explain about food, tell us what it is, I enjoy your vids so i am just giving costructive comments
I miss genuine Okinawan soba
Actually "MISAKI" means "Cape" in Japanese. Just a tidbit of info.
I am by no means fluent. I was only going by my dictionary that says "Hedo" means "cape". I could be wrong. If so, thanks for informing everyone.
how big is this island?
80 miles from north to south and about 10 miles from east to west. Long and skinny.
@mokechi27 80 miles from north to south and about 10 miles from east to west. Long and skinny.

@hugobossdb I've never claimed to be a great writer. I just enjoy making videos. Luckily there have been a lot of people that were able to overlook the bad writing and appreciate the content of my videos. Thanks for the feedback. How far did you make it in the series?
