Shoshi

While Shoshi isn't home to many top sights, Nakijin Castle and Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium are some notable places to visit nearby.

Shoshi
At this Okinawan farm, in late September, the day Lilly field is in bloom. In Japan they use the day lily leaves to make a very mild tea that aids in sleep and soothes anxiety. And since the Japanese never waste they actually pick off the flower buds and boil them with vinegar to eat! You can buy a bag to pick the flower buds and the sweet girl at the counter too the time to translate the recipe for me in English from her phone!

Kamiunten

While Kamiunten might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Kouri Beach and Nago Pineapple Park.
