The business part of the trip took me first to Nago, Okinawa's small northern city, along coastline that features some of the best beaches on the island. Unfortunately, the weather started to turn sour, so the views wasn't quite as stunning as they would undoubtedly be later on in the summer months.

Here is one of the views from the site of my junket - sorry, I meant to say "work-related legitimate business expense." Note the traditional Okinawan-style tile roof in the foreground.
