Strolling around town

Strolling around town.
Here in Ishigaki Island where it is warm all year round, you can enjoy a pleasant stroll even in winter.
When you walk around town, you may be approached by strangers in a friendly manner.
Actually, there is a word in Okinawan dialect, “Ichari-bacho-day”.
It means “once you meet, you are all brothers” and represents the Okinawan custom of cherishing encounters.
Traveling is a place to meet people that connects people in a real way.
If you have come all the way here, be brave and enjoy connecting with people.
You might even get a taste of Ichiribacho Day.
