Cafe Cahaya Bulan, Bise
About the Bise Camera
A 4K camera at Cahaya Bulan, a seaside cafe in Bise on the Motobu Peninsula in northern Okinawa; the name is Indonesian for moonlight. It looks along the shore and out over the East China Sea, with islands on the horizon.
Bise is known for its lanes of fukugi trees, planted generations ago as windbreaks around every house. The village still keeps them, and most visitors walk the shaded lanes down to the water. Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is close by.
The cafe faces west over the sea, so evenings are the time to watch: the sky turns orange and pink over the water, and on calm days the reef flats reflect it.
