Off-roading through Okinawa's jungle on an ATV
We got on ATVs for the first time, heading inland into the luscious mountain forests. It felt like riding a washing machine, violently shaking on the narrowest, bumpiest jungle route in Okinawa. It was the most fun I've ever had, plate banging, so much fun! After getting some practice in, we did a time trial race around the track to see who could go the fastest, with the loser buying dinner. It was a cathartic victory!

Okinawa Private Villa
Okinawa
Creator's voice
One of the most spectacular villas in all of Japan, described as huge, lavish, and surrounding a sprawling private pool. It feels like breaking into a Sultan's Palace, with multiple bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an outdoor shower. It's easily the coolest accommodation I've stayed in Japan, even better than a five-star hotel in Yakushima because it has a pool. It's incredibly picturesque, looking like a video game with hibiscus plants, palm trees, and turquoise water.
Okinawa, Japan
- Private pool — A sprawling private pool that is the centerpiece of the villa. It's incredibly picturesque with turquoise water, surrounded by hibiscus plants and palm trees, making it feel like a video game.
- Main bedroom with three beds — A spacious bedroom with three beds, designed with an interior and feel that makes it seem like someone's personal bedroom.
- Outdoor shower — A unique outdoor shower, described as 'big dog' and feeling like a 'Jungle Out Here'. It's a nutty and cool feature of the villa.
- Secret bedroom with two beds — An additional secret bedroom featuring two beds and an even bigger bathroom with a bath and two showers, making the villa feel truly ridiculous in its luxury.

Savoring traditional Okinawan pork dishes
We were treated to dinner by Natsuki, who lost the buggy race. We had enough Okinawan food to feed 5,000, including traditional drinks like Awamori. We tried Rafute, a famous Okinawan dish of pork belly, and Agu pork steamed in Awamori, served shabu-shabu style. We also had Agu pork with rice and some shrimp. This restaurant is a celebration of all things pig, and they even have a unique way to summon the waiter with a pig call.

Awamori — A really famous Okinawan liqueur, often drunk in large quantities. It's also used to quickly steam Agu pork in a shabu-shabu style.
Rafute — One of the most famous Okinawan dishes, a pork belly dish that is mixed into other ingredients. It's a bit fatty, and while not everyone likes it, I love it.
Agu pork steamed in Awamori — Agu pork quickly steamed in Awamori liqueur, served in a shabu-shabu style. It creates a dramatic 'volcano' effect when poured over.
Agu pork with rice — A simple yet delicious dish of Agu pork served with rice, offering a real pork taste.
Shrimp — Some shrimp served alongside the refined Okinawan pork cuisine.
