Today, it’s a sightseeing day.
We rent a car from Times Parking.
Once become a member, we can rent a car by our requested hours at the nearest Times Parking.
First, we went to Yoshinoya for breakfast.
I ordered a normal Gyudon (Beef Bowl) to compare it from Tokyo one’s.
Hummmm, it tastes the same.
Last night, uchina (Okinawan) recommended us to visit Gyokusendo (Cave) at the Sushi Restaurant Hagama Zushi.
Gyokusendo is located at the Okinawa World.
To my surprise, it’s a huge park, comprehensive Okinawa cultural park.
We started with Gyokusendo, the cave.
It’s a huge cave.
Ao no Izumi (Blue Fountain)
Ogon no Sakazuki (Golden Sake Cup)
There is a natural eel!
He swam slowly occupying the place to himself.
We exited the cave at the other side of park.
We walk through many parks back to the entrance/exit.
There is Ryukyu (Okinawan) glass park.
We can make crafts or simply enjoy shopping.
I shopped Ryukyu Glass Chopsticks holders here.
There are many cafe as well.
I enjoyed Uchina Zenzai (Okinawan Style Bean Ice Shave), shekwasha (citrus) juice and a bite of vanilla Blue Seal ice cream.
There are many more shops and cafe to enjoy.
This is Okinawa Style Traditional House.
This is Okinawa’s traditional costume.
I also tried Okinawa’s Buku Buku Cha (Foam Tea).
I need to chew the foam to prevent from choking.
This is my first experience to chew the tea. hahaha
I also watched Eisa (Okinawa Dance).
Another big event at this park is Habu Snake (poisonous snake found in Okinawa) vs mongoose.
Mongoose catches Habu; however, Animal Welfare Society protested to stop the fight.
Today, we cannot watch the fight.
They race to swim faster.
Mongoose won. hahaha
You will watch and even can touch many snakes here.
After enjoying this huge park, I went to walk on Shuri Kinjo-cho Ishidatami Michi (Shuri-Kinjo Town Stone Pavement).
It’s normal residential area, but I felt like I’m walking at the different time zone.
Luckily I walked down this slope.
It’s time to return to Tokyo.
Sayonara Shisa (Okinawa’s Lion/Guardians)
It’s the last day of Golden Week Holiday; therefore, all flights are sold out!!! Wow!!!
Had dinner at Kirin Bar also planning about next trip to Okinawa if any. hahaha
Sayonara Okinawa for now; look forward to visiting here again.
