The island of Okinawa

Okinawa is a wonderful place to homeschool, with abundant resources to enjoy and discover. Consider:

Relationships: not only with other English speakers, but getting to know and share in the lives of Okinawans. We're the visitors: reach out and try to see Okinawa through their eyes!

Ocean activities: swimming, tidepooling, snorkeling or scuba diving, kayaking, windsurfing and visiting the fantastic Churaumi Aquarium.

 

Cultural activities: Shuri castle and many other castle ruins; local crafts such as pottery, glass-blowing, and textiles; Japanese study; cultural centers like Okinawa World; and World War II history and battle sites.

Anything outdoors: hiking and exploring, or going to parks. The weather makes this enjoyable almost year-round.
