[Music]
good morning everyone here from the
island of Okinawa in Japan we arrived
here last night from Tokyo it’s about a
3-hour flight from Tokyo so we’re way
down south it’s really far and you’re
going to see that this island is very
different to everything that we’ve shown
so far here in Japan some of the beaches
that we’ve seen in pictures kind of look
like you’re in the Caribbean so that’s
why we came here and right now we’re
just walking to the port which is just
like a 5 minute walk from where we’re
staying cuz we’re going to be going on a
boat tour to a group of islands called
the Kama Islands National Park supposed
to get some amazing beaches there so we
arrived late last night so we haven’t
seen much of the island yet this part
looks very
developed I like that there’s already
the palm trees off that’s a good sign
for what’s to come I think this is the
station so that’s the ticket office but
it looks like we have to fill in some
kind of
paper boarding application form so the
ticket is
4,910 per person that includes the
return so the ferry that we’re going on
leaves at 9:00 a.m. and then we come
back at 5:30 p.m. so yeah pretty much
the entire day a good amount of time I
think it only takes about 30 minutes to
get to the island that we’re going to
[Music]
all right so bad news as we were leaving
we got like a tsunami warning on our
phones everybody’s phones and I think
we’re turning back there’s supposed to
be a tsunami coming at 10: it’s around
9:15 now and one lady started freaking
out and the guy speaking on the ship is
speaking in Japanese so we don’t know
what he was saying is a bit worrying
though cuz we’re we’re still in the
water and we’re not going back fast so I
don’t know what’s going on but the
Island Tour is definitely
over man I wish they’d speak
English yeah this is not good guys all
the the cars are leaving the port it’s
like a traffic
jam and uh yeah we haven’t actually been
able to speak with anyone English I’ll
buildings right here and we’re high up
some people are running already man so
it’s kind of weird like some people are
still just like riding bikes and these
guys
working but then there’s other people
that look like they’re
[Applause]
escaping what is going
on we got another warning too so I don’t
know if you see that bridge in the
distance there’s all these trucks and
cars they’ve just stopped there and the
cruise ship back there has moved too
it’s come out but
yeah I don’t know if there’s people on
that cruise ship I would hate to be on
that thing right now or if they’ve had
to do Escape I really don’t know so got
more news coming in now and it is
actually a really bad one it’s the
strongest earthquake in Taiwan in 25
years and that’s like a place that’s
prone to earthquakes so yeah it’s
terrible I mean there’s already images
of like buildings collapsing over there
that’s where the earthquake happened
here is more just a
tsunami
[Music]
R so it is the next day now and we’re
back at the Port once again cuz we’re
going to attempt to go to the island and
in the end it ended up not being much of
a problem for okin hour no luckily they
lifted a warning few hours uh after the
first warning that we had in the morning
uh and nothing happened the tsunami
didn’t hit our Island I think it
uh kind of hit some other islands that
were near Taiwan which was the epicenter
of the earthquake but even there it
wasn’t a big uh wave or anything so
everyone is safe right now yeah it’s
good that they were cautious though and
took it so seriously because we actually
found out that’s the first warning
that’s been raised here in Okinawa since
2011 which was a very deadly earthquake
and tsunami here in Japan so we thought
it was like common here that almost
every year they’d have these kind of
warnings but they don’t it’s first one
since 2011 and unfortunately some people
did die in uh Taiwan I think right now
the casualties are around 9 you’ll be
watching this video after so more
information would have come out but I
suppose for the magnitude of the
earthquake that hit there we were
actually expecting more casualties but
these countries are very well prepared
the buildings are like shock proof so
yeah I think that’s the reason why
[Music]
[Music]
all right so this is beautiful tokashiki
island and right now we just looking for
a bus that goes to the beach that we
want to go to not sure if it’s one of
these so we’re doing a day trip but a
lot of people actually spend time on the
island there’s places that you can stay
in the National Park yeah I think this
is the
bus bus station to the beach so did he
say that it was 400 yeah Pur first for
adults I think it was 200 for for
children
[Music]
so the place that we’ve come to is
called aarin the bus just stopped here
there’s like a rental store we just got
a mask and this vest which is mandatory
500 each and yeah there seems to be like
restaurants and things
here and they drop you off right at the
beach welcome to the Caribbean of Japan
wow wow W this is way better than I
expected yeah that color of water is
intense do you see my parents I don’t
know where they went they’re they’re
over there this way okay wow look at the
sand
too this really is like Caribbean level
identical almost untouch the island yeah
and just a few people here I think the
ones that are here are the ones that
came with us it looks like there’s some
cool rock formations here also an island
over there I think you can get like a
banana bat from what I saw in the
pictures and this is our setup so it’s
3,000 for 2 two beds and an umbrella and
obviously we got two sets of that we’re
going to be here for quite a few hours
[Music]
how’s the water it was not
too bit ice cold it’s not like the is it
it’s warmer than the AL little
bit yeah still pretty damn cold though I
did read that this time of the year the
water is cold though the Pacific
Ocean when when was the last time you
came to like a Paradise Island like this
I can’t remember tons last year yeah but
I think this is a level above yeah the
PO is amazing yeah so last year we went
on a trip to Thailand and we went to
that area like Maya Bay PE pet but I
think this is a level up from that oh no
way the alien brain fruit yeah that we
keep finding during our travels I think
we saw this in India Mal malis
Philippines and now here oh yeah it’s
those isn’t it yeah exactly the ones
that we saw in go and the Maldives
there’s the fruit whatever it is then we
also saw in the Dominican Republic and
what a beautiful beautiful
beach this is why we came to Okinawa
[Music]
so we’re going to go on a little walk
now I just asked the guys that do the
boat tour and they said there is no boat
tour today to the island I think cuz of
the current the guy was saying so we
won’t be able to go there but I can fly
my drone here we didn’t see anything
online saying you can’t and there’s no
signs or anything so yeah I’ll easily be
able to fly over there soon and right
now we’re just going to check out the
rocks and there’s also a viewpoint on
top of that hill so I think we’re going
to go there and I think there’s also
some other beaches around the
corner cool got another little hangout
spot here yeah like a private or Hidden
Beach yeah there is some little Sandy
area there water’s really calm water
it’s really calm everywhere actually I
don’t know why they can’t do the boat
tour it’s like zero waves and it’s only
there yeah I bet some of you had no idea
that Japan even has these kind of
islands since normally when people show
images of Japan they don’t really show
this like tropical look inside it’s
actually a subtropical Island though
it’s not in the tropics but pretty much
looks tropical yeah pretty sweet view
from over here up the beach that we
around
for one of the nicest
angles so we found out just yesterday
that this actually isn’t the main island
to come to is it we thought it was yeah
we thought it was but apparently in the
same uh area here there’s another Island
I forgot the name zamami I think zamami
and I think that’s the main one and I
think there are some hotels to stay
there more than here I think here you
can find some camping and Backpacker
place but in the other Island I think
they’re more accommodation
[Music]
[Music]
options we’re just going to walk further
around the rocky area before we head up
yeah the views keep getting even better
and better of the
coastline this is interesting where two
types of rocks join together oh yeah it
is it’s like a combination isn’t it yeah
merged together got almost like Coral
patterns on this one yeah all this is
coral here broken
Coral should be good to snorkle we’ll
see you later on so right now it’s
getting to around 27° here you watched
our previous videos it’s a big change
cuz we were literally in the snow in
kusatsu a few days ago it was
snowing but here it gets that hot and I
guess in the summer it must be like
scorching hot here if it’s already 27
right now in April yeah I think we’ll
swim in this part here can see that it
gets deep yeah cold in
water I’m not finding it too bad though
oh check that out looks like a a doorway
see you later Carol going to another
realm yeah you get like these arches
everywhere went through another one
before
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
all right yeah some pretty awesome views
indeed so those were the rocks that we
were
around
incredible and then on this side is the
other beaches completely deserted I
don’t see a single person on those looks
like the same level too and for those of
you who have been following us for uh
sometime you know that we were in the US
and British Virgin Islands a few months
ago and this place looks very similar to
the Virgin Islands especially St John
which is a us one because of the
mountains and the scenery and the color
of the ocean just as beautiful as that
one yeah and St John was also a National
Park so it was quite untouched like this
one I mean it really is like identical
to the Virgin Islands cuz those those
places are just like this like Hills
coming straight out of the water and on
the Virgin Islands you can also see all
the other Islands so these are different
ones that I think you can visit maybe
one of these is zami might be that one
over there the popular one
[Music]
[Music]
he
[Music]
so got some really amazing shots of the
island back there cuz see there was like
a sandbar really beautiful and like I
mentioned there’s so many islands like
this not just this national park I think
even the main island we’re on has some
beaches almost this level which we’re
hoping to find out in the next video
yeah but I’m thinking of uh if we don’t
have enough time this during this trip
maybe come back and do some like island
hopping around the okwa island yeah and
then we’ll probably stay on these more
secluded Islands not just the main
island of ow
[Music]
is
[Music]
so we’re heading into the village going
to look for a bite to eat they don’t
have any like food being sold on the
beaches
or drinks even no vendors at all yeah
you can see though just how quiet it is
around here I think in summer will be
the peak months although I don’t know if
it ever gets super busy we got this one
here it’s called My pce and I think me
and Carol are going to get the yucky
Sila
700 my parents went for fried minc
chicken with basle rice 1,000 and I
think they have bubble tea I might get
that rocking sugar Jasmine
900 some interesting
dishes how was that interesting is the
wood very
spicy yours too it’s the same thing
isn’t it yeah just me a lot of rice with
a little bit of meat on
top Carol got my mom’s
egg that’s me so on our Yak SOA they put
this like fish skin thing that I’ve
never had
[Music]
before very fishy they expected
[Music]
so we’re heading to those other beaches
that we could see from the Viewpoint now
originally we were going to go to a
completely different Beach but you’d
have to get a taxi to get there don’t
know if it’s this
way little pathway I think it is this
way bit overgrown isn’t it yeah yes so I
think we would have to get a taxi to the
other Beach there’s no bus that passes
there and we didn’t see any taxi drivers
at all like no vehicles whatsoever so
yeah we decided just to stay around this
part and then we’ll get the bus back the
last bus is uh 4:30 and the ferry going
back is 530 so this is one of those
secluded beaches that we saw from the
Viewpoint which is up there
somewhere there was many of them but I
don’t know how you get to the other ones
I thought you could walk around the
Coast looks like there’s some boat tours
going
on yeah maybe if you stay on the other
Islands you can just do like day boat
trips to this island too I just spotted
a a statue here in the corner hidden
away wow that’s a a nice
statue pretty sure I’ve seen this statue
already with the
flower Carol collecting as
usual oh yeah this one that one Speaking
of tattoos you you were just saying that
we’ve noticed more people here with
tattoos yeah Japanese people uh mostly
men but some women too and we couldn’t
see that in in Tokyo yeah cuz we
mentioned in the previous videos that
some places here I think they don’t like
people going in with uh tattoos I think
tattoos here are kind of related to
gangsters like the Yakuza I think they
have a tattoos so I’m not sure if that’s
the reason why they’re kind of against
tattoos we haven’t had any problems
though we even went in onon in KATU
where they allow tattoos so I think it
just depends on the place
[Music]
[Music]
so we walking further along the coast
and we just realized that there’s a
camping area here so there’s some
here yeah I guess you can camp around
here then on the
island we did see like some Backpacker
looking dudes around here so it is a
Backpacker friendly destination
also certainly a nice place to Camp
right next to that beach that we just
went to look at this
tree the vines or Roots whatever those
are it’s like a nice place to ride a
bike yeah I think they we have rentals
also cars not only by uh motorcycles but
also cars but we cannot drive in Japan
yeah we haven’t mentioned that so
Japan’s a place that doesn’t accept
Brazil’s license yeah even the
international license is not valid here
so that’s why we can only do things
using transport like normal
Transportation public transportation
luckily we’re in a country that has very
good public transportation although OK
in hour it’s not as frequent from what
we’ve read I saw this place on the Drone
before when I was flying it seem to have
some empty swimming pools prohibited
area for taking corals that’s on the
beach
obviously W look at this it’s like a a
big
tank maybe for diving training I don’t
know anyone know what this could be like
Carol said before though it certainly be
a good place to just jumped from Island
to Island since it seems like they do
have fairies between them so i’
definitely love to do that one day
[Music]
[Music]
one
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so this is the apartment that we’ve been
staying in in naha it’s a really good
deal just $84 a night a lot cheaper than
everywhere else on the Japan trip so far
so this is where my parents have been
staying you obviously saw the balcony
this
morning and through here is where me and
Carol have been sleeping two double
beds and you got the little living room
and kitchen really nice and spacious so
we’ve been able to do some cooking here
and through here is one of those
high-tech Japanese toilets it’s that one
with the sink again like we saw in the
first place was St where the water comes
out of there
pretty cool and through this way we got
the washing machine and the shower and
bath just like other places in Japan the
shower is right here on the floor water
just goes down
there so we do plan on making another
video here in Okinawa exploring more
this island that we’re staying on and
naha so that’s what’s coming up next if
