Ryukyu

Best-selling author Robert Walker will share his experience in the region. His book, Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands, covers the 150 islands in the Ryukyu chain, about 75 of which are inhabited. Over a 10-year-period, he has visited every inbabited island in the chain--many of them three or four times. The book has filled a vacuum in an all-in-one introduction to traveling in contemporary Okinawa and the Ryukyus that was not met before. Find out also why the Okinawans are known as the longest-lived people on earth. The book will be available for purchase after the program.
