Crafts and coral of an embattled coast
A little north of the massive Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, a slew of scattered residential settlements and visitor sites are pincered between the Torii Station Army Base and an ammunition storage facility situated in Yomitan, a region of the southern mainland, where a massive U.S. amphibious landing took place in the closing months of World War II. The area has had to work hard to reclaim its cultural and historical identity, but also to honor those who perished in the war.

Suchmos "The Bay"
The first full album from Suchmos, titled, "The Bay," is just the kind of soundtrack you need for a Saturday night. The band's name is adapted from Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, and "The Bay" gives a nod to the jazz legend with the kind of smooth beats and guitars that could fill one of Yokohama's small jazz spots — it's classic, but updated.

Pirate ships, cruises, riverbanks and urban campsites: New twists on the beer-garden formula in Tokyo
One way to look at the arrival of summer in Japan is to focus on the bad side of the season, such as the sticky humidity, the need to have the air-conditioner blasting cold air for the next three months. All power to you, but consider how no other time of the year can you enjoy drinking and eating outdoors like you can during a Japanese summer — especially in Tokyo, where vacant lots and rooftops are transformed into bars and restaurants. It beats being huddled under the kotatsu (heated table) sadly poking at a mandarin orange.
