I went to Hokkaido to see some of its famous highlands and lochs, but got glassed outside of a pub on my first day. I guess it is true that the Japanese are a very insular and xenophobic people.
If you do get to Tokyo it is nice that after being out at the pubs you can get a good Tikka Masala (ティッカ・マサラ). Though you should avoid any “traditional cask pubs” as apparently the traditional Japanese style of ale is to serve it warm and flat.
I never had any trouble communicating there, but then again I’ve only ever been around Naha.
If it were economically viable for me, I think Okinawa is the part of Japan I’d like best to live at. Just somewhere far from the US military bases, like Ishigaki. They have that chill islander vibe.
Doing a bit that if the UK were Japan, then Okinawa would be around Malaga (warm, lots of British people, hence speaking Spanish in response to someone speaking Japanese)
okinawa is truly the gibraltar (pronounced “jibbralder” not “xibraltar”, because of angl*s) of the pacific, except there are many contenders for that title

I learnt tokyo standard japanese but they apparently speak a different dialect in okinawa, I kept asking for 生ビール and they were like ‘cervesa?’
