Discover Okinawa’s Diverse Beauties | Japan Documentary Journey

Discover Okinawa’s Diverse Beauties | Japan Documentary Journey

A couple of months ago, I explored Nakijin Village, nestled in the Yanbaru area in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa.
Beyond the allure of a picturesque island, there’s a welcoming hostel that fosters connections among people and a garage filled with the childhood dreams of a cool gentleman.
Steering away from the typical marine activities, I’ll introduce the diverse beauties of Okinawa, Japan. Enjoy!

■Sponsored by NiSi Filters
NiSi Swift System lets you quickly assemble several filters: Variable ND, additional ND, Black Mist, etc. In my experience, NiSi’s True Color is the best variable ND filter so far since it doesn’t cause color shifts that much. And I believe the NiSi SWIFT system is such a great option for run-and-gun style.
