Miyako Diaries 8: Sugar Cane Whispers
Between April and June 1945, the Ryukyu archipelago saw one of the most devastating series of warfare in the Pacific Theater, as the ailing Japanese Empire stood on its last legs to deter the Allied advances to its mainland. Total deaths counted 200,000, Japanese and Allied, and 120,000 of them were...

Miyako Diaries 7: Intermission
Despite the Mai-bama being such a long stretch of a beach, it's surprising that there is only one beach hut in the area - the one and only Windy Mai-bama, serving tapas, beverages, and of course Miyako noodles throughout the summe...

A “jaunty-step” Chihaya is following the time-worn limestone pavement up to the Kurima Beacon, a remnant of a small lookout with a grand oceanic view. Installed in 1644 by the regime of the Ryukyu Kingdom (yes – Miyako was part of a kingdom back then – isn’t that cool?). The lookout p...

The path opened its way onto the beach. Stepping off the turf and onto the sand, Chihaya was amused by how the finely ground sand slipped up through her toes, like remnants of the summer before she has now come back to retrieve. In front of her were the sparkling green waves of South China Sea, actu...
