Naze, Amami Oshima, Japan

Tomori Beach is the main feature of the Amami Oshima Island, due to the fact that it's considered to be one of the most famous and beautiful beaches.
The weather promised to be good with rain starting around 1:00pm.
Younga, David and us hired a taxi and in about 45min we were on the beach. It was empty, clean and beautiful. The water is crystal clear. We spent two hours swimming and waking on the beach.
The taxi was waiting for us and we asked the driver to take us to a restaurant not far from the port.
Most restaurants were closed, finally he found one that was open. When we got a menu and translated it with a help of Google, we understood the restaurant has an Italian menu. No, we are in Japan. We need Japanese food.
We walked out, it was raining. Few blocks away we found another restaurant with strange looking food. We decided to try.

It happens to be one of Japan most popular cuisines. Local “okonomiyaki”. It’s like a pancake, which includes a mix of seafood like prawns, octopus, scallops and a thinly-sliced pork and shredded cabbage. It served with a video instruction showing how to use the heating table. We had to follow instructions on supplied iPad. Definitely an interesting and delicious experience!
We walked back to the ship in the rain, but full and happy. It was a fantastic day!Les mer
