Contrasts

There is little open area in Okinawa. Land is used for closely packed houses and highrises. Next to these homes the land supports small agricultural plots. Sugarcane is a staple here in our neighborhood. With a growing season that is practically year round, the fields are not left fallow for long after any harvest.
Next to fields, and surrounded by fields, can be found highrise hotels such as the Zanpa Misaki Royal Hotel across from the beaches of the East China Sea. Also to be seen is the ultramodern look of the wind generators.
