Welcome

This blog was created in 2014 by 2nd-year English Writing students at Meio University in Okinawa, Japan. Meio is located in the town of Nago, in Yanbaru, the northern region of Okinawa. Nago rests on the edge of the Nago Bay, facing southwest toward the East China Sea. Each year, students in the English writing classes will add to the site.

We created this site in order to introduce Nago and the surrounding area to English-speaking visitors from around the world. We especially would like to welcome students from other universities who are interested in studying at Meio. Nago is a great place to live. There is a lot to do here, but it still has a "small town" feel. It is surrounded by beautiful nature, both on sea and land. It is also only a short bus-ride or drive from the bigger cities of Okinawa, Chatan, Naha, and others, or from the famous Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu.

We have written about our favorite restaurants, sweet shops, tourist attractions, scenic locations, and more. We hope that you will come visit Nago and discover how beautiful it is, just as we have.

Welcome!
