Kadena Hospital Caves
This was taken 23 Apr 2011 on our 3rd investigation at the Kadena Hospital Caves located on the Banyan Tree Golf Course. Rumor has told us that during WWII there were 17 Japanese Nurses that were ordered to Commit Suicide in this cave with hand grenades because it would be better than to see what the Americans would do to them when the stormed the beaches and found them.

Okinawa's Old Chinen Base family housing area 2019 and 1989
I recorded a drive through the old Chinen family housing area and inside one of the abandoned houses back in 1989. On May 14th, 2019 I recorded images of what now stands in its place.

As the tension in the region grows, the bases here (Okinawa) will be more strongly forced and the closing of the bases will be more and more difficult.

STORYLINE:
There are fears in Japan that the tense stand-off between China and the U-S over the intercepted U-S spy plane could draw in the island of Okinawa, from where the plane took off.
The island off Japan's southern coast is strategically important for the U-S, which has nearly 30,000 troops based there and the base occupies a large proportion of the island.
China and North Korea are a quick flight to the west.
Russia's Pacific fleet is to the north and Taiwan is just over the southern horizon.
For decades Okinawa has been a prime location for spying.
When the famed but now retired SR-71 Blackbird spy planes were deployed at Kadena, tourists would perch on a hill outside the base fence to watch them take-off.
The capture of the U-S Navy EP-3E spy plane and its 24-member crew has driven home again the risks involved in keeping watch.
The $36 million EP-3E is the Navy's only land-based aircraft for intercepting radio and other signals, and it has been used heavily in supporting NATO forces in Bosnia.
The U-S military plane flew out of Kadena, said an editorial Tuesday in the Ryukyu Shimpo, a local newspaper. We should not let the latest accident develop into a new seed of dispute between the United States and China.
Kazuhisa Ogawa, a Japanese military analyst, said U-S intelligence activities off the Chinese coast have been increasing over the past two months, perhaps reflecting the desire of the new administration of President Bush to show its strength.
There is a high possibility that China, with its nuclear weapons, could be a threat, Ogawa said. If the relationship between the United States and China becomes tense, it is natural that Okinawa's importance will come under close scrutiny.
Though the plane took off from this U-S air base, the Air Force's largest in Asia, officials have generally refused to discuss the incident, referring queries back to headquarters in Hawaii or Washington.
They have stressed that the EP-3Es, like the one captured, are not based there, though the planes fly out of this and other U-S bases in Japan periodically.
It's more unusual than usual for us to have EP-3Es here, Navy spokeswoman Melody Scalfone said Wednesday.
Currently, RC-135 spy planes are a common sight on the Kadena base.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Okinawa Prefecture (Japanese: 沖縄県, Hepburn: Okinawa-ken, Okinawan: ウチナー Uchinaa) is the southernmost prefecture of Japan. It encompasses two thirds of the Ryukyu Islands in a chain over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long. The Ryukyu Islands extend southwest from Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu (the southwesternmost of Japan's four main islands) to Taiwan. Naha, Okinawa's capital, is located in the southern part of Okinawa Island.Although Okinawa Prefecture comprises just 0.6 percent of Japan's total land mass, about 75 percent of all United States military personnel stationed in Japan are assigned to installations in the prefecture. Currently about 26,000 U.S. troops are based in the prefecture.
