The pretty path through World Heritage Site SEE-FAA UTAKI in southern Okinawa. This used to be a much more fun, totally free (and awesome) place to visit before the Government got involved. This "Ancient and Holy Site" has now been turned into a tourist trap, complete with restaurants, shops, massive paved parking lots, rent-a-bikes, and....and an admission fee to walk here. So much for the positive effects of being designated a new World Heritage Site.

Anyone can participate so get there early to get a spot. The contest lasts 30 minutes and the challenge is to pull the other team a total of 15 meters. If neither side pulls the other the 15 meters, whichever side has pulled the other the furthest wins.
