The sanshin (Okinawan traditional three-stringed instrument) performance by my uncle on Yubu Island was very relaxing 😍.

520代Submitted Month: 2020/10I was very impressed with the beauty of Barasu Island! I was also torn between snorkeling and mangrove canoeing, but I'm glad I chose Yubu Island as a result.
