Dori street, as far as I can tell. One of my main quests on this trip was to buy cheap art to hang on the walls of my house. I bought some cheap, small prints that I quite like.<\/p><p>There is a vendor on the street that I remembered from last year. They&#8217;re a memorable couple. The husband is a quiet artist who paints cartoonish animals and people onto shells. His wife is a very enthusiastic and chatty saleswoman. I think buying a painted shell here may be the best thing you can buy on the street. I bought one. You can see his work on their Instagram @kaigara_kaiga. Although it seems that on Instagram, the main thing they post is sketching things they come across that kind of look like a person.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

We went to <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/dFvJgLaxEnQb5ivGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ama beach<\/a> to see if we could rent a kayak to get to the small uninhabited islands nearby, but the rental shop was closed.

Fortuitously, there was an all-you-can-eat BBQ place across the street from our hotel. When I arrived, I didn&#8217;t feel hungry at all and thought I\u2019d only eat a few orders of meat before tapping out. The table decided on the highest level of all you can eat, which included quality domestic beef. The food was great. As I was eating, a strange thing happened: I felt that the more I ate, the hungrier I became. Some favorites were the sesame cucumber and thinly sliced beef. We had 90 minutes to eat our fill, and somehow Jonny and I were ordering up until the last minute. It was amazing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26a55ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"26a55ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15311\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3888-rotated.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee1f240 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee1f240\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After dinner, we went to Don Quijote by Kokusai dori so Indi could get sweets for her coworkers.

while. Indi wanted to get some late-night ramen, not because any of us were hungry, but for the experience. I was ready to fall asleep, so I told her it was now or never. We walked to a place that I had saved, and it turned out to be a place that Indi had already been. Indi and I shared 1 bowl of ramen and 1 order of gyoza. It was good! On the walk back, we had some Nigerians try to tempt us with illicit activities. Kaitlin and Jonny were interested, but Indi and I pulled them away.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fbc0b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9fbc0b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got back to the hotel, and I was out like a light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e8f8f0f\" data-id=\"e8f8f0f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d844bfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d844bfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15326\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0272.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d3ca79 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d3ca79\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ee3421\" data-id=\"9ee3421\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b15733 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2b15733\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe79cc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fe79cc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 4 - Naha<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2dac64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a2dac64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e0b31a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e0b31a9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e98894c\" data-id=\"e98894c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d49de7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d49de7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We had a slow morning.

The food was amazing. Indi and I shared a 3-curry taster platter. We also ordered a few appetizers for the table and a mango lassi. Everything I tried was so good. My favorite was the mutton curry. The size of the naan was astounding. Each was bigger than two dinner plates together.

I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Okinawa, Japan | So Nice, We Went Twice","description":"Okinawa is special, but less special when the weather isn't good.

The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.","sameAs":["http:\/\/westindiestravel.com","https:\/\/facebook.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/instagram.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/terrestrialtemple\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@westindiestravel"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Zach","author_link":"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/es\/author\/terrestrialtemplegmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Okinawa 2 18 October 2025 Okinawa has been one of my favorite travel destinations to date.
