It became a bit cooler than usual. It may be because of the typhoon Samba.
I wanted to wash my car to get rid of salt which rain and wind bring. I went to a gas station but there were a line in front of the washing machine. I gave it up because it seemed to take an hour to get my turn.

Arashiyama observatory
When you drive to the northern Okinawa mainland or Yanbaru, Stopping by Arashiyama observatory is one of good choices. You can see a variegated landscape of Haneji-Naikai or Haneji inland sea.
Looking in the direction of Wakugawa, Nakijin Village.
Warumi-Oh-Hashi and Kouri Island
Yagaji Island
Warumi-Oh-Hashi was a arch type bridge, which was opened in 2010. The bridge was located in high altitude. If you go to Kouri island, Going through it is more shorter path than via Yagaji island.
Looking for Kouri-Oh-Hashi in the above picture is difficult. The length of the bridge is about 2km.
The sight that small islands are spotted in the water
was compared with Seto inland sea.

Nishihara San-A City and QB barber
San-A group, whose founder is Okinawan, has many brunches in Okinawa prefecture.
Their shops are mainly classified as two types. One is supermarket style which sells foods, commodities like detergents or tooth brushes or clothes. The other is a mall style which has several shops which are run by San-A or other companies. Needless to say, The malls are bigger than the supermarkets.
Nishihara San-A City is a mall, located in Nishihara town. It looks like wrong that there is a city in town but It is indeed called "city." There are many shops, which are clothes, a electricity appliance "DEO-DEO", restaurants, cafes including Starbucks and Mister Donuts, a 100 yen shop "DAISO", a book store, a photo studio, a massage service, and so on.
I sometimes go to the QB which belongs to a national barber chain in Japan. It is located near the Starbucks. They give us quick and reasonable services. To do these, They practiced their own system that is different from other barbers and I feel it a little odd and inconvenient. When you go there, you are going to buy a ticket from a ticket vending machine. But this can accept only 1,000 yen bill so that they don't need to prepare changes. Therefore you have to prepare a 1,000 yen bill before going there. This is why I said. They don't offer washing your hair or shaving your beard. After having your hair cut, your hair is vacuumed by a special vacuum, which is just for customer's head and never for the floor. Although I have a complain about their service, It helps me to get things done in no time.
Another QB barber is in Naha San-A main city.
