    Okinawa Pref. Shimajirigunkumejimachou Hiyajou
    "This precipitous cliff approximately 200 meters above the sea is situated along Prefectural Route 242 between the communities of Hiyajo and Aka. From this scenic destination, on clear days visitors can see all the way to Hatenohama and even the Kerama Islands. ""Banta"" means ""cliff"" or ""precipice"" in the Okinawa language. There's an observatory and shop on a hill near the road, as well, making this a viable rest point when going on a drive around the island."

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
