But why "Oki Islands"! ??
"Even though the Japanese do not know much about Japan. More know I should!" Have you ever thought that?
Then, first of all, "Oki Islands"! !!
This island, which has an old history that appears in Kojiki, is a perfect place to reaffirm "Japan is Japanese" and, by extension, "I am myself".
A shrine rooted in the area. Traditional events and festivals held there.
A place associated with the visit of characters from myths, folk tales, and legends.

Even if the times change, the essence that does not change may be there.
