The endless ocean view here is so relaxing and refreshing. It really soothes the soul.

Okinawa Ao no Dokutsu “Blue Cave” (Cape Maeda)
Cape Maeda is located in Onna, a village on the northern part of Okinawa’s main island. The cave beneath the cliff that faces the sea is known as “Ao no Dokutsu”, or “Blue Cave”, because the sunlight shining through it lights it up in shades of blue. Whether diving or snorkeling this is one of the hottest spots to visit on Okinawa’s main island. Glittering sapphire-blue waters await at this stunning escape.
This is the most popular snorkeling spot on Okinawa Island. Even beginners can feel safe here. The blue bay is calm, and there’s an amazing variety of sea life to see.

Akagi Shrine
This Akagi Shrine is said to have been established in 1300, as a spiritual branch of the Akagi Shrine situated at the foothills of Mount Akagi in Gunma prefecture.
This shrine has a modern design and even a café. It feels quite different from the usual shrines—very peaceful and relaxing.

Hama-Rikyu Gardens
The Hama-Rikyu Gardens, also called “Hama Goten” during the Edo period, were originally the location of a villa owned by the Tokugawa Shogunate, but later on it was converted into the imperial villa. In 1945, it was bequeathed to the city of Tokyo and then opened to the public.
One of Tokyo's four famous gardens. The trees are beautifully trimmed, and it used to be Tokugawa Ieyasu's villa. It's a great place to relax.
