Even though it is subtropical and has a lot of squalls and it is not in the rainy season
It rains like a bucket turned over a couple of times a day.

Stayed at a hotel run by a Japanese company.

Back

When driving on the island, a driver in the oncoming lane,
A peaceful island where you raise your hand and say hello.
There are few cars going and going.

I can't think of such a landscape in Osaka.
I'll keep raising my hand all the time ...

White plumeria is in full bloom on all the islands,
It is about the size of Izu Oshima, which is surrounded bythe Philippine Seaand the Pacific Ocean.

Maybe it wasn't bombed much in the Pacific War
The entire island is surrounded by virgin forest.
The Northern Mariana Islands are an American territory consisting of Saipan, Tinian and Rota.

A small 30-seater airplane,30 minutes from Guam.
5 hours to wait at Guam Airport due to poor connections.

There is no announcement, and the gate changes each time you listen to it.
Just before the flight time, I rushed to the gate in a hurry to the voice of the staff.

The center of the island is inSongsong Village,
Transportation is by rental car or hotel pick-up ($ 20 round trip)
Due to poor transportation, every day is a“"loss / loss" village.

One day is enough to explore the island.
My friends often ask me, “I haven't done anything for a week on an empty island ....”

But one week is too short for me.
