#tripaway Okinawa is infamous for its peach. Why not trying momo plucking while travel? Momo is peaches in Japanese. I thought the momo tree would be as tall as mangosteen tree but it wasn’t. It’s only as small as rose apple (Jambu air) tree and the momo is easy to be plucked. Just choose the biggest one and pull it gently. At the farm, we can taste two momos each. Yummy!! The momos are cream and red in colours and their taste are sweeter than sweets. I had never tasted momo all my life. I was so happy that we could bring the momos we plucked home as they have to be kept for 2-3 days before the fully ripe and ready to be eaten. #tripaway

I want to feel the depth of a city must participate in the local festival is really great! with mommy and daughter wearing a yukata to participate in the integration into the locals festivals to feel the warm atmosphere, This is the one I saw most people fireworks are like meteors near From the sky sitting on the beach, we too good 50 minutes, have the opportunity to come to Japan must experience once.

Every time I take a baby's trip, I can't wait to put my home in the packing bag. Compared to staying at the hotel, Sana prefers to stay at the hotel! This is a set of seaside villas that are rented by the sea when you are traveling in Okinawa. It is really convenient. Baby products are all available. You can let the children play with the sand and play tired and go back to the room to take a shower/ Hh / interest, drilling into tatami or tents for children to flip night with a cute projector baby sleeping home location is also very convenient, because Okinawa is A long island, chooses in the middle, no matter where you go to the top aquarium or the lowest airport, it won't be too far away. There is also a nice name in the homestay: SEA YOU LATER There are many fun places nearby such as 10,000 dolls, residual wave A, Ryukyu Village, Zhenrong Tianyu.. ..... are very close to the airport from the high-speed to less than an hour, to the aquarium is not more than an hour, the entire highway is not traffic jam. Convenience store where you can walk, there is a big supermarket and many restaurants within 5 minutes by car. It can be said that the location is perfect.

[cp] It is by the sea, above the cliff, shaped like an elephant's nose, but it is a grassland that can accommodate thousands of people. This is the 10,000-seat wool of Okinawa, Japan. It is the location of the Hong Kong film "Love Okinawa" and has become the place where most Okinawa games must be played. This is not very big. I drove to the parking lot and walked for five minutes. The opposite is the tens of thousands of hairs that look like elephants and noses. Looking down, the sea is slap on the reef, and there is a piece of it. The waves of the film, there are many people coming here, from the entrance to the exit is a line, you can go out slowly along the crowd.

This world has such a store boss wife handmade candles h beauty do not want! personally help me to do Thai massage, massage is finished, there is a boss, a ceramic cup made by myself and a very beautiful hot tea on the plate, which has cured my tired travel with the baby and the bosss hand painting. !! Every time I see such a shop, I will tell the children that you dont need to be too powerful, do what you like, you can support yourself, and you can be very happy. If you open a small shop like this in the future, it is enough.

Okinawas "Everyone" has a history of more than 100 years. The ramen and puffs here are very famous. Local friend Xiao Dai told me that because this place needs to be driven by car, few mainlanders can come and queue up all day. This is also It doesn't matter, it is the location of love. The environment is so beautiful. may line up, business is too good

It is a good choice to go to Okinawa on New Year's Day, and there will not be many tourists. The Qingliang Islands on the island is a very good choice. From Okinawa Island to Ajia Island, we helped us pack a yacht through the homestay administrator. Vacations, privacy is very important. I usually like the charter in the economically allowed situation~ The dinner on the boat is really my catch, such as fake replacement! Sea fishing is not the only purpose of my trip to the sea. Diving is also a must-see. The last time I went to Okinawa, I went to see whale sharks. This time I went to see clownfish and corals. well? Its a great thing to have an OW diving license. Of course, if you have a diving guide on board, is there any relationship with a diving certificate? Anyway, he/she will take you to experience. Safety? There is also a safer place than Japan Oh, you ask me if the temperature is 16 degrees, will it be cold? 5mm diving suit silk is no pressure, I am still worried about heat stroke... Although heatstroke is a joke, it is definitely not cold. In Japan, most golf clubs are membership-based, so how do non-members experience golf? The B&B I live in is simply a omnipotent existence. The administrators strange request for me is actually accepted, and I cant accept it!

This is a private beach in Okinawa, Japan, about 15 minutes away from the Gu Yuli Bridge. There are clean beach lawns and sun loungers. When the sun is good, you can lie down here for an afternoon to see the tides.

#getgoing2025 This resort is located on Irabu Island, northwest of Miyako Island. Irabu Island is connected to the main island of Miyakojima Island by the Irabu Ohashi Bridge, a 3.5 km long bridge. The color of the sea seen from both sides of this bridge is truly Miyako blue. It was a beautiful blue even in cloudy skies. This resort is about 3km from the Irabu Ohashi Bridge, but the sea was still beautiful. Breakfast time with this view of the sea was elegant. The appetizers were self-selected, and the main dish was selected. The appetizers, ham and salmon, as well as the main egg Benedict and omelette with local ingredients, were delicious. By the way, there was a prosciutto tree near the entrance. I saw it in the morning and it was powerful. There is also a daily one-hour champagne free flow during sunset hours. On the second day, you'll enjoy a free flow of champagne and dinner at this resort. It's chilly and cloudy, but I think it's a good resort with a good view and relaxing.

At Ocean Expo Park in Okinawa, I had the opportunity to experience an unforgettable paragliding flight. It was a sunny afternoon, with bright sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a calm sea like a giant blue mirror, shimmering and beautiful. I had long been fascinated by paragliding, and finally, the moment came to realize my dream. When the staff put on my safety gear, I felt both anticipation and a little nervousness. The instructor calmed my nerves with his warm smile and professional demeanor. He explained in detail the precautions to take during the flight and demonstrated the correct posture. With the words "we can take off," I felt as if I was being pulled by an invisible force, slowly leaving the ground. At first, it was a slow and steady ascent, and as I got further and further away from the ground, the scenery in front of me began to change dramatically. The crystal-clear waters, fine sand, and lush vegetation of Okinawa's Ocean Expo Park gradually shrank in my view, becoming a beautiful miniature painting. And when I rose to tens of meters in the air, the magnificent scenery of Okinawa was all around me - the endless sea and sky were a perfect match, making me feel relaxed and happy. The most exciting thing was the change of perspective in the air, the 360-degree view was breathtaking. I did a few simple maneuvers in the air, and although I only made slight adjustments to my direction, the feeling of flying freely was truly amazing. At that moment, I felt like a seagull, circling and gliding freely in the air, gently embracing the sea breeze. As the altitude gradually decreased, I returned to the familiar embrace of the earth. The slight jolt as I landed was a reminder of the extraordinary journey I had just taken. Back on the shore, I was still immersed in an indescribable joy, and the feeling of flying still lingered in my heart. This paragliding experience at Okinawa's Ocean Expo Park not only gave me an unprecedented thrill and joy, but also a deeper understanding and affection for this beautiful land. If you are eager to pursue freedom and adventure, why not try a dance in the sky?
