Airbnb Okinawa: Simple Joys In Green

A landscaped hillside garden inspired from the 1700s, a sacred hidden spring said to be the island's purest, farm-to-table, home-styled food at a restaurant set against a cliff, a BBQ dinner with the day's fresh catch under the twinkling stars and a hammock on the terrace in an Airbnb listing by a whispering forest… turn your back to the beach, and liberate yourself with the lush green life of 'the other Okinawa'.
