Author name: Daisuke (okinawa-insider.com)

Daisuke is a long-time Okinawa resident who has lived on the main island for years. okinawa-insider.com exists because the Okinawa travel guide that residents would actually use didn't seem to exist online — most of what's published is recycled commodity content by writers who haven't been here. Every guide on this site is based on first-hand visits with documented dates, specific costs in yen, and on-the-ground logistics. When not writing here, Daisuke works in school-age childcare and explores the outer islands (Kouri, Izena, Yagaji) on weekends. Honest, anti-tourist-trap, no sponsorship influence on recommendations. Affiliate disclosures are stated on every page that contains them.
