Enjoy Okinawa's unspoiled stunning scenery and rich cultural culture at your own pace, one island at a time. History e nthusiasts shouldn't pass up visiting Funauki hamlet, where the idyllic tropical setting conceals a turbulent past. Visit Shimaai Farm on Ishigaki Island to learn about the world of natural plant-dying. Here, fabrics are organically colored using native plants to the islands and then made into modern tote bags and shawls. In the Valley of Gangala, take in the spiritual element of the island. To get to the spectacular cavern, use a nature walk that meanders past imposing old banyan trees and tall vines. Finish your tour of the Gangala Valley in the Cave Café, a special location where you may have shikuwasa while sitting at a table beneath striking rock formations.
