If you have any helpful maps or links to Okinawa and the surrounding islands email them to us. We dont rely on the the ole adage "Just go straight and you'll come to the ocean." Even after 20 years of being here. (hahaha).
If you know of any other legends or stories about Okinawa or the surrounding islands please send us what you know and pictures if possible. Thanks.
