Emotional video series highlights the magic of Okinawa

Presented by

We all have secrets. Now, Okinawa’s new travel videos show us how to finally reveal them: against a beautiful island backdrop with delicious Okinawan food and friendly Okinawan hospitality.

We’re pretty sure they’re right.

The series follows six people from all over the world as they take life-changing trips to Okinawa. Each traveler finds inspiration in Okinawa to finally reveal a long-held secret.

Our favorite video in the series features a Thai couple named Pop and Fern. They’ve got a little love triangle going on with Fern’s beloved cat Money. It involves a secret that Money’s not going to like. So Pop takes Fern on a rejuvenating (and revealing) trip to Okinawa. Money might be left back in Bangkok, but he steals the show here, if you ask us.

Follow the artsy Bangkok duo to Tousingama, an ancient pottery factory where they talk with local artisans and then to Zanpa Cape to admire Okinawa’s rugged coastal cliffs. We catch a glimpse of the lux Okinawa Daiichi Hotel and some delicious local delicacies. Finally, they visit the Nyangusk Cat Cafe to mingle with some friendly felines and for Pop’s big reveal.
