Welcome to the first installment of Kaoru Hayashi's Okinawa Photobook, A Trip to Okinawa 3: Visiting the Castle Remains and the Roads of History.
This product isn't a comprehensive guidebook to Okinawa; rather, it's a collection of just 55 photographs on the theme of "Visiting the Castle Remains and the Roads of History" taken during the author's own travels around Okinawa Main Island.
Each photograph is accompanied by an explanation reflecting the author's own insights. Most are accompanied by a map (internet connection required) indicating where each photograph was taken.
The author's hope is that it both serves as a reference for travel to Okinawa and inspires people to want to learn more about Okinawa....
