【Kyoto Prefecture】A Must-See for Rabbit Lovers! The Adorable Rabbits of Okazaki Shrine.
I visited the Okazaki Shrine, a shrine that's a hit on social media for being filled with rabbits. The rabbits scattered throughout the shrine grounds seem to change expressions depending on the angle, and I couldn't stop taking photos. The area, including the shrine grounds, was once a habitat for wild rabbits, and it has long been said that rabbits serve as messengers for the local deity.

Visiting Nakijin Castle.
From the streets of Naha, it took about 3 hours by bus, and I visited after the Churaumi Aquarium. On the way there, I took a local bus right to the entrance of Nakijin Castle and immediately went to tour the castle. The construction is completely different from the many castles in Honshu, and I could feel the culture of Ryukyu. You can capture the beautiful sea and stone walls with your camera. It is a place of great historical value and is also registered as a World Heritage Site. On the way back, I walked to the bus stop for about 20 minutes, but if the timing is right, I think you can easily travel both ways. Please be sure to visit when you go to Okinawa.
