Travelers to Okinawa🗾 via Taiwan🧋, here's a little need-to-do information 🤔to note🪦. When you are at the airport🛫 departure area🛄 looking out for your transit gate, stating ‘Okinawa’, there you 🧐will be able to see👀 “Okinawa”🗾 and the Chinese character 琉球 (pronounced as Ryukyu in Japanese).

The name 琉球(Ryukyu) is the former name of Okinawa(沖縄)🗾, which originates from Chinese writing🗒, a descriptive name, meaning ""glazed horn-dragon🐉"".

The name "Okinawa(沖縄)" was coined in Okinawa🗾, but the origins of the term "Okinawa(沖縄)" remains unclear. The current Chinese characters (kanji) for Okinawa (沖縄)was found in the book Record🖊 of Southern Islands🏝, being written🖊 in 1719 during the Edo Era, by Arai Hakuseki, a Japanese scholar👨‍🏫.
Current names for Okinawa in writings📝 include:

💞沖縄in Japanese Kanji,
💕冲绳in Simplified Chinese,
💕沖繩in Traditional Chinese characters.🥰

Haisai!♥ Today is the day of the Kariyushi shirt👕. Kariyushi means auspicious, good fortune💰 and happiness🌺.
Okinawa people, either male🙋 or female💁‍♀️, are seen during this season, to wear Kariyushi shirt👚 for their business wear or elegant dresses👗in different designs, to welcome especially the overseas visitors instead of the formal business wear👰‍♂️. You🫵 can expect to be greeted with hotel and restaurant employees🍽️ in their Kariyushi wear.🌈

Also do watch out for the names📔 after Kariyushi in Okinawa🗾,
• Hotel🛏 accommodation 🏨known as Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort🏖 Ocean Spa🏩,
• Second largest aquarium🦈 in Okinawa that features🐙 a large underwater 🏊‍♀️tunnel🐟 and a variety of marine life exhibits🦐 known as DMM Kariyushi Aquarium Okinawa🐬🐟🐡🦈
• Japanese four-man pop group👬👬 formed in 2005, from Okinawa known as Kariyushi 58
The name “Kariyushi” also used for political parties….. 😎and so on…..😀

When you are in Okinawa,🗾 it is easier to come across goats or yagi 🐐(Hi-jaa in Okinawa dialect) in the grassy🌱 areas or by the roadside🛣 especially in the off-islands🌞. They are mostly white although you can occasionally spot some black ones around. It is said that goats are tough animals that are 'easy to keep,' and 'less prone to sickness'.

Grass grows rapidly due to the 🏖climate🌅 but goats are 'grass-cutting🍃 workers”. They are usually tied with a rope to stop them from running away, but they are allowed to graze🍂 freely and stay healthy💪.

Goat wrestling or hi-jaa-o-rase is an annual event📝 whereby two male goats🐐🐐 are placed in a ring to butt heads naturally until one of them surrenders…. If you👓 are interested to explore 🧐further, then add this in your itinerary📝 for your Okinawa trip🖋🗓.
