The Seas and Culture of Okinawa & The Search for Miyamoto Musashi

We answer a viewer's question about visiting places connected with the famed swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. We put together a 3-day, 2-night tour and introduce places in Okayama and Kumamoto Prefectures. Our correspondent visits one of the world's best resort destinations, Okinawa Prefecture. She strolls through Naha's historical streets and heads for the markets to try the local seafood. She then goes on an excursion to Kouri Island where she enjoys swimming with horses and lodging at a private home.
