The programme

We begin with the ruins of Katsuren Castle, because who doesn't love a little “ruined castle” charm? This castle, which has been partially destroyed by the passing years (and earthquakes), is the epicenter of a battle between history and nature. Here you'll feel a little like a historical hero, with walls that tell the story of ancient grandeur, and a landscape that'll make you want to take a warrior-style selfie.

We'll continue on the Mid Sea Road, a panoramic road around 5 km long that connects the mainland with the main islands of the archipelago. Here, you'll feel like you're flying. Every curve reveals a stunning new spectacle, which will make you want to stop to take yet another photo. But it's not just the view that is striking - it's the atmosphere too. Islets, beaches and a sea that is so turquoise you might think that you've landed in a painting.

And when your stomach starts to rumble, tuck into a typical Japanese dinner, because if there's one thing that Okinawa knows how to do, it's nourish the soul...and the stomach!
