In my experience in the couple of times I've visited Okinawa, you barely see US service members. You will be mistaken for one if you're not asian, which isn't a great experience given what the locals have had to endure. There's a definite tone shift when people realise you aren't American. But unless you're putting yourself in risky situations or seeking out service members, it's as safe as anywhere else in Japan as a tourist.

    Finally a good fucking circuit. Got the potential to be the best race of the season.

    The surface degradation is concerning though. The pickup on the tyres is from stones being stripped out of the asphalt surface. Not really anything that can be done, the surface is just old and needs repaving.
