Summer Okinawa, Minna Island

There are very few roads on Minna Island, they could probably be counted on two hands, if not one hand; they link the port to the opposite side of the island, with a few branches running at 90 degrees off of that main trunk. This is the branch leading to the primary school; on Minna Island there is only elementary and junior high school provision, to attend high school students need to take the ferry daily to attend school.
The first building on the left is a typical older house on the island, constructed of concrete with heavy roof tiles because of the power of typhoons. Looking closely reveals that the tiles of half of the roof furthest away are newer, probably the others were whipped off in typhoon storms.
