  • This video was sponsored by ANA (All Nippon Airways) and the OCVB (Okinawa Convention and & Visitors Bureau) in order to show you guys the beauty of the Okinawan islands, which you can easily reach with a direct ANA flight within 3 hours from Tokyo!
    Spending those 4 days in Miyakojima was a dream come true for me! Growing up in Germany means that the summers are cold and the beaches are grey and the ocean water is cold so I could not believe the temperature and color and transparency of the beautiful ocean surrounding the islands of Miyakojima, it truly felt like paradise! And best of all - it was all still in Japan, which means I did not have to travel to a different country! All of your support here on UA-cam has made this experience possible for me and I am so grateful for the opportunity to do sponsored travels and give back to you guys by filming my trips and hopefully inspire you to check out all these amazing places yourself!
    I'm sure you were able to tell from the video but to comply with the current guidelines ( www.mhlw.go.jp... ), we made reservations and avoided crowded places at all times while making this promotional video. The face shield was only used on camera and I immediately switched to a secure face mask after my scenes :)

    Both you and Ryo did a great job filming. I'm happy you got to go on this trip, Sam! Hopefully your sponsors and new sponsors will allow you to show us more places. And you're on the huge video header for their page!? How cool!
