American Village - La Vie Est Belle

This place is perhaps one of the most popular places in Okinawa. It is packed with people every night. It is always festive to the season and time of year. There is always something to do here. From movie theaters and food to shopping; it has a little bit of everything. We love going there to get us a mango ice. They are SO good!

If you come to Okinawa to visit this is probably going to be one of the places people take you. It is just an great place to find lots of trinkets and shopping. Many people gather at sunset to watch the sun go down along the sea wall here. There are a ton of restaurants and cafe's that line the ocean wall that allow you to have a perfect view of the setting sun.

Sunset Beach American Village
We were out with some friends one night near american village as the sun was setting. This place is perhaps the most popular place in Okinawa to watch the sunset. Literally hundreds of poeple ar here every night to watch the sun go down. All of them doing the same thing as I was, taking photos. Selfie sticks, tripods, gopros, DSLRs, they were all out.

American Village is an awesome place in Okinawa. But if you want to find it without millions of people you have to show up early in the morning.

Depot Island
This is an amazing place in Okinawa. One of the favorite places for all of us living in Okinawa. It is full of shops, restruants and fun things to do. It had rained the night before and made the streets all glow.

A Perfect Evening
This tiny part of Okinawa is a huge people attraction. I don't know how I managed to take this photo without people in it. My wife and I took a sweet little stroll down this path. Hand in hand and in love! She is amazing!
