Long day but fabulous. Sun Princess anchored off Ishigaki so tender to shore then ferry boat to Iriomote Island. Next a jungle cruise up the Urauchi River past mangroves. Next the really fun part, bus to Mihara and then Water Buffalo cart across to Yubijima Island

Ryukyu Village & Shikinaen Gardens Ryukyu Village This lovely gentle water buffalo’s job was to turn the presses for sugar cane Shinkinaen Gardens Unfortunately we couldn’t get too many photos of this beautiful garden because the heavens opened. No umbrella, no shelter. We all got drenched. Bridge – Shinkinaen Gardens Loved Okinawa, and in particular the music and culture. They see themselves as very separate from Japan. Rainy send off from Okinawa
