I live in a small island called Okinoerabu island near Okinawa Japan.

Okinoerabu located in between Okinawa and Amami island and it takes 7 hours by ferry from Okinawa, 1h by flight.
It’s famous about limestone cave.

Unfortunately I can’t accept any guests right now because my father is sick and he needs long term care at our house. Thank you for your understanding.
But I can show you my island and explore there together in daytime, and having dinner with locals over beers if you want.

about me:
I am a open minded and kind person.
Born and raised in the small island okinoerabu, then moved to Osaka and Tokyo for 20 years total, and came back to our beautiful island.
The island life fills me with happiness of love, nature, culture, traditions, people which cannot feel in the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a unforgettable time with local kids at Borneo island Indonesia.
There’s a gym who’s running by CS. He opens it as a school for the local kids who has no nationality in daytime. He helps them to get education and be strong as physically as well as volunteer.
Only 3-4 days that I could stay there, but we had a good time with sharing Japanese culture, drawing pictures with them.
At the last moment I leave, one of them came to me and said “I love you” as Japanese.
Despite I never had taught it to her.
It really touched my heart.
