Welcome to the first installment of Kaoru Hayashis Okinawa Photobook, A Trip to Okinawa 1: Blue Ocean Scenes for iPad.
This product isnt a comprehensive guidebook to Okinawa; rather, its a collection of just over 50 photographs on the theme of "blue ocean scenes" taken during the authors own travels around Okinawa Main Island.
Each photograph is accompanied by an explanation reflecting the authors own insights. Most are accompanied by a map (internet connection required) indicating where each photograph was taken.
My hope is that it both serves as a reference for travel to Okinawa and inspires people to want to learn more about Okinawa.
