So far, it seems that fairs have been held in the northern tourist spots of Japan, but where will the fair be held this time?

This time it's in the south of Japan! We're going to hold a fair at that very lovely tourist spot!

What kind of place is Okinawa, the southernmost tourist spot in Japan?

Okinawa Prefecture is located at the southernmost tip of Japan and has a unique culture even within Japan.
It was once called the Ryukyu Kingdom, and traditional music, dance (Eisa), and crafts (Ryukyu glass and bingata) are still preserved today.
Also, Okinawa is the only subtropical region in Japan, characterized by warm winters and long, hot summers. As a result, beaches and marine sports are very popular, and many tourists visit throughout the year.
Okinawa's proud cuisine uses unique ingredients (for example: bitter melon, pork) and cooking methods, and is said to be healthy and contribute to longevity. Soki soba and Okinawa soba are particularly popular as local dishes.
Moreover, Okinawa is also said to have one of the longest healthy life expectancies in Japan. Not only the Okinawan diet, but also the surrounding sea, the leisurely flowing healing time, and the unique culture highlight the image of a 'resort area'.

What kind of image do you have of Okinawa, Saori?

Resort! It's a special place that comes to mind first when you want a slightly special trip! Looking at Japan as a whole, it's an area with distinctive climate, culture, and atmosphere, so I imagine it's a place where you can experience 'extraordinary'.

Speaking of Okinawa's specialty products and souvenirs, these are particularly famous four “delicious” ones!

●Chinsukou, delicious Okinawan baked sweets made from flour, sugar, and lard!

I also like Soki soba, it says soba, but it has thick noodles that are satisfying to eat, it's like a very delicious ramen with broth, I like it so much that I always eat it when I go to Okinawa!
