and be prepared to be surprised.
Somewhere between the elegant formality of Japanese manners and the candid,
sometimes boisterous exchanges that take place over a few drinks, between

 Osaka - Osaka sits just over 2 hours (via the high-speed Shinkansen) south of Tokyo, but exists as if in another world. Much more laidback than its northern, cosmopolitan cousin, the city revels in its friendly easygoing demeanor. Known as the gourmet capital of Japan, Osaka is renowned for its food, especially Takoyaki (deep fried octopus dumplings) and Okonomiyaki (a pan-friend dish). Both are extremely popular in Izakiya pubs and taste fantastic with ice-cold Asahi draught.

 Okinawa Island - Okinawa is located just under two hours from Tokyo and is found on the same latitude zone as famous resort destinations such as Hawaii and the Bahamas. The prefecture consists of 37 inhabited and 122 uninhabited islands and the unique blend of Japanese, Chinese and American culture has ensured that the island is a growing hot spot with local and international visitors.
Currently the most popular beach resort destinations in Japan, there are a number of hotels available to suit just about every budget. Many of the beach front resorts are located on the West Coast of Okinawa, with white sandy beaches right at the doorstep of many of the properties.
There are a number of must-see destinations to visit in Okinawa, including the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Shuri Castle. The world class aquarium features local marine animals in breathtaking surroundings and tanks. It is also home to Okinawa’s largest mud crab and you can even find Nemo inside one of the tanks. The sophisticated complex also features sharks, tropical fish and crustaceans.
Shuri Castle is a world heritage listed site and features a distinct Chinese influence in the buildings’ architecture. The main palace of Shuri Castle plays on important role in Okinawa’s history. The building held formal events and kings of the Ryuku Dynasty made important decisions inside. The site was completely restored in 1992, with careful attention to historical details and landmarks. Shuri Castle also boasts breathtaking views of Okinawa from various look out spots.
Okinawa is truly a unique destination. The beaches are world class- think crystalline water and pristine sand that can easily compete with Thailand, Hawaii and even Sydney for the title of the world’s best beach.
