沖縄 神社

With its beautiful azure sea and its abundant nature, it goes without saying that Okinawa is a treasure trove for spiritual power-spots. Since you are going to Okinawa anyway, there is simply no reason you should not power-up during your travels!

On this occasion we have carefully selected shrines known for blessing people with marriages, children and safe births. We will also introduce many cute and adorable protective charms recommended for the remembrance of girls-only trips and solo travels!

Loved by the locals and visited nonstop by those from outside of the prefecture, why not pray for an increase of luck in shrines that are filled with rich and interesting history?

八重干瀬

When talking about the seas of Miyako Island, it conjures up images of high-transparency water and a rich variety of maritime life; an internationally famous snorkeling and diving spot, known for its unique underwater topography.
On top of that, [Yabiji] boasts the honor of having “Japan’s Great Barrier Reef”, the largest coral reef to be found within the country.

On this occasion, we will introduce Yabiji’s attractions and ways of enjoying them.
As this will tackle questions such as “We’ve heard about Yabiji, but what kind of place is it?” and “How can we reach it?”, please feel free to use this as a sort of referral.
