Menso-re, Okinawa!
Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture of Japan, can be reached by a three-hour flight from Tokyo. It was the first time for us to come here and we decided to explore the main island only. The trip started from Kokusai Dori Street. The street is the main street in Naha, where you can find many restaurants and shops. We had steak for lunch from steak house 88, a famous steak house chain in Okinawa. And Blue Seal Ice Cream to beat the heat of the weather.
The rest of the afternoon, we spent our time on Ryukyu Onsen. Of course, we did not stay there, we only enjoyed the Onsen. :p
On the second day, we went to Naminoue Beach for snorkeling and tried local Okinawan food. If we are talking about Okinawan food, most of them are pork and it was so good! Goya (bitter gourd), Umi-budo (sea grapes), and Beni-imo (purple sweet potato) are must to try!
On the last day, we went to Churaumi Aquarium. Churaumi Aquarium is considered one of the biggest and best aquariums in the world. Chura means beautiful in the local Okinawan dialect and Umi means sea in Japanese, so Churaumi means a beautiful sea that fits as a description of the natural beauty surrounding it. A huge water tank inside, entitled Kuroshio Sea, is home to popular whale sharks and giant manta rays.

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

Okinawa
Yesterday was our final day in Okinawa and in the short time we spent there so much transpired. The one thing that immediately caught my eye was how completely different Okinawa feels compared to that of mainland Japan. It’s clear that the American influence plays a big role, yet the islanders hold on to their distinct heritage in a very beautiful way. There were simple differences, really, yet so significant. Take the language, for instance. You often hear people in Tokyo mentioning how Okinawans speak a different dialect of Japanese. What I didn’t realize is a lot of the traditional way of speaking is almost its own language altogether. While they share many of the same customs as the mainland, they also have their own. Let me begin with why we went to Okinawa in the first place, apart from the fact that it’s been on our bucket list of places to go. The purpose of this trip was for Rob, myself, and our friend Naoki to deliver a seminar to JTEs (Japanese Teachers of English). Our friend and fellow colleague, Taniguchi-sensei (or “Grandpa” as we call him) is a well known organizer for these seminars and managed to book the trip for the four of us. We shared a presentation on “How to Team Teach with Foreigners” in the hopes of providing a new perspective to the JTEs. After meeting with all of the teachers and locals during our trip, we can say for certain that there is one thing Okinawa shares with mainland Japan and that is their warm hospitality, or omotenashi as they say in Japan.
DAY 1
Our first day was reserved for visiting some of Okinawa’s world heritage and memorial sites. The first place we toured was called Sefa-utaki, the historical origin sites of the Ryukyu Islands. Walking through the forested area and gazing at the monstrous rocks where pilgrims often travel to pray brought out a very spiritual feeling to us as observers. Shortly thereafter, we drove to the Peace Memorial for a private tour and a bit of history about the events that unfolded during the Battle of Okinawa in April of 1945. We were especially moved by the fact that the walls with engraved names of the dead included Japanese, Okinawan, and American military personnel. The cliff pictured above shows a beautiful view of where nature’s greenery meets the ocean-blue waves. During the intense battles that took place here, the locals were essentially pushed off the edge and forced to commit suicide against their will. At that time, the water was completely red from the blood of those who died. We took a few moments and all prayed together. It was quite beautiful and honestly what we hope our ancestors and countrymen would have wanted as a result from the war.
Nearby the Peace Memorial is another memorial called Himeyuri that had another very emotional impact. The site is dedicated to an Okinawan girl’s school that had suddenly been forced to become participants during the battle. These girls had to drop their books and pick up medical supplies to aid the injured Japanese soldiers. As a result of the battle, almost all of the 222 girls lost their lives. I encourage everyone to learn about their story as it’s a truly tragic one. Girls as young as 12-years-old went into the underground caves where the Japanese military required them to care for the injured. They weren’t allowed to return to their families and eventually most of them died from various causes. They’re known as the Himeyuri students.
Our first night out took a thrilling turn. What seemed like any normal Japanese-style restaurant turned out to be anything but ordinary. The restaurant included live music and portrayed a perfect example of Okinawan-style cuisine. We tried pig’s feet, Sōki soba (Okinawa’s famous noodle dish), as well as umibudou (or seaweed grapes, which had no particular flavor but a very interesting texture), and then washed it all down with an ice cold Okinawan brewed Orion beer. The music consistently involved the audience in singing along, dancing around the restaurant together and giving a cheers to your neighbor by shouting “ari-kanpai”. As if things weren’t exciting enough, we then took to the stage for a chance to try on traditional Ryukyu royalty attire (pictured above).
DAY 2
Our first seminar went exceptionally smoothly and we really connected with the teachers who had attended. Once the seminar came to a close for the day, we went out for a night of drinking and learning about Okinawan local life. One of the teachers played the sanshin (an Okinawan banjo-like instrument) as we all sang the local tunes at an anime-style karaoke bar. The night ended at a Showa era jazz bar with a very talented guitarist, where we sang old-style Japanese karaoke (no TV prompter). We spent the majority of the time drinking awamori (popular local spirits) and talking with our new local friends.
DAY 3
Following our final day of presenting (including a taco lunch and local parade), we joined everyone for a sunset beach BBQ. We gathered by the water, drinks in our hand, as we took in the beautiful view of the ocean and cooked up various meats. What we hadn’t anticipated was the sudden change in weather. We started the BBQ with beautiful skies and a slight breeze in the air. Then, suddenly the storm decided to swoop in. The sky went grey as thunder and lightning boomed overhead. Rain began pouring in a monsoon-like way as the wind blustered through, blowing away our cups and plates. Soon after, a staff member came by to evacuate us as the storm was in full force. The group of us grabbed our belongings and took off towards shelter in a nearby resort hotel lobby. It was like something out of a movie. We sprinted through the rain as the wind gusted this way and that. Moments later we had safely arrived to shelter beneath the nearby hotel. The same staff member provided us towels to dry our soaking wet bodies, reimbursed us for the BBQ, and it was then that we realized some of the guys had carried their beers with them through the storm. We all busted into laughter at this realization and the mere luck of the typhoon hitting us so suddenly in that moment.
DAY 4
Day 4 was yet another impactful day. As you may know, Okinawa has an abundance of U.S. military bases throughout the island. What you may not know is how exactly this impacts the locals. Whether it be the osprey that crashed (disrupting local life), the rape and murder of a high school girl, or the drunk driving from American military personnel, it’s clear that the military presence has an impact on the Okinawan people. In addition to all this, the Japanese government is currently in the works of a new plan to build a U.S. base on the shores of Henoko (a region in Okinawa). We had an opportunity (thanks to the help of our new friend and local university instructor, Keiko-sensei) to go speak with the protesters about what they’re opposing to try and grasp a better understanding of their cause.
LET ME BE CLEAR THAT WE WERE IN NO WAY INVOLVED IN THE PROTEST, BUT MERELY THERE TO OBSERVE AND TALK WITH THE ACTIVISTS TO EXCHANGE THOUGHTS.
As it seems, the new base where the construction has began is not only endangering the ocean-life and surrounding natural habitats, but the locals feel they’re having their land stolen right under their feet. It was really powerful to see how passionate they are about their heritage, people, and land. It reminds me a bit of how the Native Americans feel about their land in the states and having to then fight for what is rightfully theirs. After speaking with the protesters, they had asked us each to say a little something and next thing I know I’m singing the song “Imagine” by John Lennon to a group of protesters in Okinawa as the U.S. military is gazing at us only a few yards away. It was a very surreal and eye-opening experience.
DAY 5
The biggest take away from this trip is that we as people cannot bundle a society or country of people into one category. If you meet one American, can you honestly say you fully understand American culture from that one person? Certainly you cannot and the same is to be said about Japan. Okinawa is it’s own brand and a place we hope to visit again in the future, along with some of it’s neighboring islands. Our final day was spent sightseeing, shopping, and going to an ocean-view onsen (or hot spring). We would just like to thank Takara-sensei (see you in Seattle next March), Seiko-sensei, Seigo-sensei, Keiko-sensei, Gaku-sensei, Yoko-sensei, and the rest of the Okinawan crew of teachers! You all made our trip so very special and we’ll truly never forget it. A special shout out to Naoki and Grandpa (Taniguchi-sensei) for being such remarkable travel partners. Thanks to Grandpa for making this whole trip happen and being “the best of the best”. We are so incredibly lucky to know you all and feel very blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. あり乾杯！

Ngoài ra, công viên còn có thêm một công viên giải trí nhỏ, 1 vòng đu quay lớn và những con đường mòn nhỏ xinh cho cả người đi xe đạp và đi bộ.
Vườn hoa tử đằng Kawachi - tỉnh Fukuoka
Hoa tử đằng được người Nhật Bản coi là biểu tượng của tình yêu vĩnh cửu, vì có thể phải đợi đến 15 năm để ngắm loài hoa này bung nở. Vào tháng 4 hàng năm, vườn hoa tử đằng Kawachi ở tỉnh Fukuoka trở nên vô cùng rực rỡ sắc màu vì hàng chục loài hoa tử đằng nở đan xen nhau theo khung dựng sẵn, tạo thành đường hầm hoa màu trắng xen tím mênh mang kỳ ảo. Khu thu về, nơi đây lại đằm thắm với vẻ đẹp của những cây lá đỏ gần 30 tuổi.
Suối nước nóng Takaragawa Osenkaku
Mặc dù không xuất hiện nhiều trong các sổ tay hướng dẫn du lịch Nhật Bản quen thuộc, những Takaragawa Osenkaku là 1 trong những suối nước nóng có phong cảnh đẹp nhất Nhật Bản. Onsen là một dạng phòng tắm hơi được thiết kế trong khu vực suối nước nóng, người tắm onsen cần khỏa thân và tự tắm trước khi ngâm mình vào phòng tắm chung. Được bao phủ bởi núi non điệp trùng và thiên nhiên hùng vĩ, Takaragawa Onsen có 4 phòng tắm gần một con suối nhỏ, từng là nơi Samurai và các vị tướng nghỉ dưỡng. Nguồn nước ở đây được tin rằng có thể chữa lành vết thương, lưu thông khí huyết và trị viêm khớp, rất tốt cho sức khỏe.

Thần xã Itsukushima
[caption id="attachment_430" align="aligncenter" width="497"] Thần xã Itsukushima[/caption]
Itsukushima là ngôi đền nổi vô cùng linh thiêng với sắc đỏ nổi bật, được coi là công trình thần đạo quan trọng của người dân Nhật Bản. Nổi bật nhất là hình ảnh cổng O-Torrii từ gỗ độc mộc đứng vững giữa biển mà không cần bộ phận nào chôn dưới mặt đất. Khung cảnh cánh cổng Toriii ngập trong nước biển phía trước núi Misen của đảo Miyajima tạo nên một hình ảnh được coi là 1 trong 3 cảnh đẹp nhất Nhật Bản. Theo sự tích, ngôi đền được dựng lên để tưởng nhớ 3 trinh nữ – con gái của thần biển và giông bão, và mong muốn không bàn chân dân thường nào có thể xúc phạm được, nên đã được xây dựng trên mặt nước.

That's what I said,
A girl worth fighting for...
I want her paler than the moon,
With eyes that shine like stars
My girl will marvel at my strength,
Adore my battle scars.
I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like.
It all depends on what she cooks like.

Trump: the View from Japan
I arrived in Japan on July 24, 2016. The election was on everyone’s minds, but at that point it was still cloaked in banality. Hillary would of course win, and Trump would go on to expand his business interests and perhaps start his own right-wing TV channel. Most people were talking more about the sellout of the Democratic Party than the much more frightening—absurdly frightening, impossibly frightening—alternative.
I woke up on November 10 (due to the time change) expecting to go into work, check my phone for the announcement of Hillary’s victory, and have a generally pleasant day. Reports I read in the morning signaled that this would all happen very quickly, over before Japan’s lunch time. The New York Times presidential probability meter had Hillary somewhere in the low 80s. Trump had made some inroads in previous days, but he never got much more than a 25 percent probability. Nate Silver offered more chilling odds, but I wrote them off as due diligence. Somebody had to present the negative alternative.
At work I sat down at my desk and watched the New York Times map to see the results coming in. The first few states along the east coast were predictably cobalt. Maryland, Vermont. But then came Virginia. On the Times map it stayed red for a long time, too long. Why was Tim Kaine’s home state so red? Why did it take so long to turn blue? Then came Florida—red. North Carolina—red. These were supposed to be the trophies of Hillary’s glorious victory lap.
My anxiety was spiking. My eyelid started twitching. At lunch I went to my favorite udon restaurant, where I clutched my phone in one hand and chopsticks in the other. What the hell is happening. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. My best friend in Seattle texted me: “Is Trump our next president?” I shot back: “I think he might be. If she can’t stop the bleeding in Michigan and Wisconsin soon, it’s over.”
She didn’t stop the bleeding. That afternoon I watched in despair as she took the stage in her shimmering purple suit, Bill on her right and Kaine on her left. What was she doing? What was President Hillary doing? She was letting us know that there would be no President Hillary.
***
I have spoken to only one Japanese citizen who supports Trump. He is 20 and a college student. He referenced his desire to see someone “shake up the system,” and he said he would rather have anyone in power than “that bitch.” Other than him, every single person I have spoken to—from first graders to old men—has expressed horror at the thought of Trump.
Leading up to November 9, students in all of my classes asked me who I would be supporting. When I said Hillary they smiled and high-fived me—“Okay!” A sense of relief would immediately settle and we could get on with class. This happened over and over, with first graders all the way up to ninth graders. Still, in the aftermath of the inauguration, the kids ask me and wait for my answer. Hillary. “Okay!”
A few days before the election, one of my coworkers at school asked me who I supported. When I said Hillary, she agreed. “Peace,” is all she said. “Peace.”
I met two old men from Osaka at an onsen in my town. They offered me a soda and I sat with them while they smoked. One of the old men was drunk, had a coughing fit, and fell asleep. His friend smiled at me, and I got the feeling this was not an unusual situation. The upright man then mentioned Trump, and his friend bolted out of his stupor. I didn’t catch most of what he said, but I heard enough to deduce he was talking about Okinawa. Trump has said that Japan should pay more to house the American bases on Okinawa, even though it already bears the majority of the costs.
“And he wants us to pay more!”
The indignity of the suggestion—taken within this country of great dignity—rattled in the air. It was beyond audacious to suggest that the people of Japan and Okinawa—the former Ryukyu kingdom, client of China, annexed by Japan in the 1800s, occupied by the Americans after World War II—should incur even more costs to support a colonial outpost whose main function is to anchor American economic dominance in east Asia.
Within Okinawa there is strong resistance to the American occupation and much debate surrounding the question of whether the bases have outlived their strategic purpose. The question of Okinawa, a unique culture within Japan, has been a source of tremendous tension in Japanese politics for generations. Hundreds of kilometers away from the island, though, speaking of Okinawa, my Japanese teacher said: “We are afraid of losing the base. It offers protection.”
Presumably that protection is from North Korea and the looming specter of a confrontation with China. Japan is the only place in the world where nuclear weapons have been deployed in military attacks, wiping out so many thousands of lives in two flashes. The idea that those horrors may return is a lingering consideration here. And yet on TV, stomping into the White House is a man treating a military base in Japan like an Atlantic City casino, a man saying that more nukes wouldn’t be such a bad idea, that a war in east Asia wouldn’t really be an American concern.
“Good luck, enjoy yourself, folks.”
A Japanese friend of mine kept using the same word to describe what happened: disappointment.
My students ask me two questions about the United States over and over. The first: Do I own a gun? The second: Have I been to Trump Tower?
***
The yen tumbled after the election but is slowly climbing back up. The Japanese economy, though, has been in a state of stagnation for decades. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s right-wing government probably stands to benefit a good deal of legitimacy from a far-right American order. Abe, an unpopular but not infuriating figure in Japan, looks much more statesmanlike in contrast to the new president. The fall of TPP was a blow to his government, but in the longterm I wonder how he will position himself in contrast to the chaos across the Pacific.
In 2020 Americans will choose their president. Also in 2020, Tokyo will host the Olympic games. All levels of Japanese government are involved in preparation for the games, which are being promoted as the dawn of a new era for an economically languishing Japan, its reintroduction to the world. Efforts to “internationalize” are in full swing, with English instruction ramping up throughout the country.
Following the election, Abe was the first world leader to visit Trump. Apparently he had already planned a visit for February, with Clinton. But after the election he moved his U.S. visit dramatically up, to that very week.
The photograph of Trump and Abe (along with their aides and, for whatever reason, Ivanka) in Trump’s rococo Manhattan lair is an incredible artifact. It shares a visual vocabulary not with the American presidency but with a spasming dictatorship—more Saddam-in-Baghdad than Yalta Conference. The bad lighting, the camera flash reflecting off of the window, the untouched bottled waters (sparkling and flat), the decadence and tackiness of the whole scene, an impossibly heavy coffee table, marble everything, a gigantic urn, the beige carpet, a candelabra with never-burnt candles blocking the face of Abe’s aide, the ridiculous camera angle making it appear as though someone just stumbled onto something pretty neat, but not somewhere they are supposed to be. There is Trump, sinking into his couch, his legs wiggling from the cushions. There is Abe, leaning forward, listening politely. And there, for some reason, is Ivanka, close to the camera, as though she will turn at any moment to shoo us away from this private encounter. Decadent: rotting, dripping, glimmering.
Trump looks so comfy and proud on his big couch. Ivanka looks the way she always does, managing the big baby that is her father. And there’s Abe. He beat the world to that shimmering, rotting pile of a living room. In my fantasy, Ivanka shoos us away, but Abe turns toward us—as we board the elevator—and winks.
