Okinawa

The world may be ending but one can somehow always count on Monocle. As if written in an alternative universe where people still care about spring fashion or new beach bars opening in Dakar, the long lead time of magazine production means that the April issue still offers a (however unintentional) moment of relief from the Covid-19 news cycle. The final 15 pages tell the story of Okinawa, or how “Japan’s offshore prefecture chills out”, of course featuring a stop at “Good Day Coffee” in Chatan.
