We start the day by picking you up from your hotel. Our local guide will go over the basics of biking before we go off on our scenic tour.&nbsp;
First, we go to the small island of Senagajima to see the beautiful Umikaji Terrace &ndash; said to be Japan&rsquo;s version of Santorini in Greece. There, we&rsquo;ll go for a pleasant bike ride through palm-tree pathways overlooking the ocean. White stucco buildings housing boutique shops, restaurants, and caf&eacute;s make for a picturesque setting.

We then make for the former Japanese navy underground headquarters &ndash; a past battleground now become a beacon of peace. The museum and playground here invite exploration, and from the viewing platform one can behold the East China Sea beyond the island&rsquo;s southern metropolitan area all the way to ancient Shuri Castle.

After cycling over Toyomi Bridge we arrive at our last stop: The Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center. Wild bird species create seasonal homes here, including egrets, sandpipers, and plovers among the mangroves.&nbsp;
