Welcome to the 4th installment of Kaoru Hayashis Okinawa Photobook, A Trip to Okinawa 4: The Island of the Bases and Trip for Memorials.
This product isnt a comprehensive guidebook to Okinawa; rather, its a collection of just 54 photographs on the theme of "Touring the Bases and War-related Sites" taken during the authors own travels around Okinawa Main Island.
Each photograph is accompanied by an explanation reflecting the authors own insights. Most are accompanied by a map (internet connection required) indicating where each photograph was taken.
The authors hope is that it both serves as a reference for travel to Okinawa and inspires people to want to learn more about Okinawa.
