4.0 out of 5 stars Oh the memories..., December 1, 2008
By Okigirl1976 (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tour of Okinawa (DVD)
I took a chance on this DVD and am happy I did. The guide hits most of the major spots on the main island of Okinawa. It took me back to my times visiting my relatives in Okinawa. I miss them so much. I loved the DVD, but except for Ie-jima, they never leave the main island. That's why I only gave it 4 stars. There were a few places on the other islands I would have liked to see. It was great seeing Shuri, Naha and the Churaumi Aquarium. Also, seeing the bullfights reminded me of going to the bullfights with my uncle as a little girl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Description of the Product, July 23, 2008
This review is from: Tour of Okinawa (DVD)
Hello, My name is James Knott and I am the producer of this video. It is about my experience traveling around the island of Okinawa. I just wanted to post the product description since I didn't see it elsewhere on Amazon. Below you can find the chapters that are on the DVD. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!

Tour of Okinawa
Okinawa is a sub-tropical island in southern Japan. Take a journey with James Knott as he explores the entire island from north to south and learns about this unique culture.

From the remote northernmost point of Hedo Misaki to the bustling traffic of Kokusai-Dori, no stone is left unturned.

Many different aspects of the culture are explored like the shisa dog, Okinawan bullfighting, musical traditions, the world's largest tug-of-war, Wildlife and family life.

This is a great DVD for someone who wants to learn more about the life on the island of Okinawa or anyone who has strong ties to the island and wants to take a walk down memory lane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light-hearted, informational tour of Okinawa, January 21, 2009
By Always Reading (Willingboro, NJ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tour of Okinawa (DVD)
If you are looking for a stuffy, high-budget video tour of Okinawa, this video is not for you. However, if you are looking for a view of Okinawa from someone who shows a passion for the culture, you might want to give this a look. Mr. Knott provides a comprehensive tour of the island's many fascinating sites, and his love for his subject is obvious. Not only do you get to see the various points of interest in Okinawa, but you get a glimpse of life inside an Okinawan household when Mr. Knott introduces his wife's Okinawan relatives. The presence of these relatives in the video and the warmth with which they invite the viewer (and the producer) into their lives adds depth to the geographical tour by adding authenticity to Mr. Knott's portrayal of the Okinawan people.

My family will be moving to Okinawa soon, and this tour of Okinawa just increased our excitement.
