We're in Okinawa with Odigo and it's really hot outside.

It's too hot to film out there so we're starting off indoors.

We're going to try on the traditional Okinawan clothes.

There's a Pikachu! And a Voltorb.
It's really important.

Since you're white, she doesn't need to put white makeup on you any more.

Take your socks off before you start your kimono experience.

Originally worn by nobility, they're now worn during weddings and ceremonies,

I don't know if I'm supposed to hide my hands.

The ryusou is said to be a mixture of the Japanese kimono and Chinese hanfu.

They're supposed to be loose, light, and airy, for use in Okinawa's tropical climate.

I don't know how they do this. This is so hot.

This is an air-conditioned building and I'm sweating to death right now.

This is Shuri-jo, Okinawa's only remaining castle.

This was a different foreign country. It was a kingdom.

I guess we're walking barefoot through the castle!

Okinawa used to be a kingdom called Ryukyu and it was not part of Japan.

Shuri was the name of that kingdom's capital.

Ryukyu has its own culture and the architecture and atmosphere are very different the main islands of Japan.

You can see below the castle, that's crazy.

The views around the castle are beautiful.

but day 2 we finally hit the beach, which was even better.

I know you can't hear me very well because I have the case on my gopro,

You have to like... squiggle like a seal.

"Yeah, she's not my friend. I don't know who she is."

It's a little bit pricey but definitely worth it. ;)

The Kerama Islands are about an hour west of Okinawa by ferry,

We touched down in Tokashiki, a much smaller island with a more laid back feel

and a magical cove with water so striking it earned the nickname “Kerama blue”.

They dye it blue to make it look more tropical.

They do that around regions like this to attract tourists.
