EDITOR’S LETTER BOBBIE BROCK

Marketing Director 18th Force Support Squadron

Aloha!

As the new Marketing Director at Kadena Force Support Squadron (FSS), I am thrilled to connect with you all and embark on this exciting journey together! Our mission at FSS is not only to serve but to cultivate a vibrant community that enhances the quality of life for our military service members and families here on the stunning island of Okinawa, Japan.

opportunities the island has to offer – from the exciting FSS events and programs to the breathtaking beaches that cradle our coastlines. My vision is to elevate this narrative even further, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative content that not only celebrates FSS and Okinawa but also resonates with your everyday experiences.

At FSS, we’ve stepped into an era of growth and innovation, and I believe, we will harness the incredible spirit of our squadron to make our community feel even more like home. Whether you’re looking for leisure activities, job opportunities, or support services, FSS has a wealth of resources ready to be explored.

We pledge to elevate our presence across all platforms, connecting with you wherever you are. If grabbing an issue of Venture from a newsstand isn’t your style, you can conveniently access the digital edition on the Kadenafss.com website. You will also find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and a plethora of traditional media. In a world buzzing with relentless activity, enhancing our multi-channel presence is not just an option – it’s a commitment to innovation, and you.

Join me on this exciting adventure! Together, let’s redefine what it means to embrace the FSS Okinawa lifestyle. Let’s unite to enhance Kadena, foster connections, and create legacy moments.

Thank you for welcoming me into this incredible community. Here’s to making a positive impact and living life beautifully – FSS Okinawa style!

In the coming months, you’ll notice new and improved campaigns and events that reflect our commitment to service and excellence. Our goal is to create experiences that resonate with each of you, bringing fun, enrichment, and connection to our community.

I am committed to ensuring that Venture Magazine reflects the uniqueness of our people, programs, and services at FSS; and showcases the astonishing culture of our host nation. Okinawa is not just a stunning island; it’s a community of loving people, a tapestry of cultures, traditions, and lifestyle that captures the essence of what it means to truly live.

Oki CULTURAL CORNER

White Day: The Enduring C Last month, the world celebrated Valentine’s Day — an anniversary sugar-coated with chocolates, hearts, and touching (albeit sappy) romantic cards. For many U.S. natives, romantic gestures won’t be on our minds again for another 11 months; in Japan, however, Valentine's Day is simply the first part of an annual reciprocal giftgiving tradition.

Exactly one month later, Japan welcomes White Day on March 14.

White Day serves as a complementary partner to Valentine’s Day. Historically in Japan, women were the primary gift givers on Feb. 14, responsible for giving chocolate, flowers, or something else to demonstrate their kokuhaku (confession of love) to their male partners. Hence the need for White Day. It allows a time for men to bestow a present to their partners.

Today, the gender dynamics of gift giving and receiving are not so rigid, as both men and women exchange Valentine’s gifts with one another.

Yet White Day persists in modern Japanese society and has even been adopted by other countries in the Far East. Given this, it’s worth exploring where White Day comes from, and how it became a lasting affair.

Depending on who you ask, you might hear different origins for White Day. One prominent anecdote characterizes White Day as an invention of the National Confectionery Industry in 1978. Somewhat misanthropically, the theory posits that White Day is simply a marketing strategy for candy businesses to sell more sweets.

Alternatively, some believe White Day was born after a woman in Fukuoka wrote a letter to a magazine lamenting the unbalanced nature of Valentine’s Day. She expressed a desire to have men give gifts to women for a change – perhaps even something as small as a marshmallow, she suggested. Her idea was well received, and by March 14, 1977, Ishimura Manseido, a confectionary shop in the Kyushu region, would be manufacturing marshmallow treats to commemorate the first-ever White Day, or as it was referred to at the time, Marshmallow Day. As time went by, March 14 would be more commonly referred to as White Day, and it has been an enduring holiday since.

Charm of Japan’s Reverse Valentine’s Day

White Day Gift Guide If there’s a special someone out there you want to spoil this White Day, make sure you practice the Japanese art of sanbai gaeshi (triple the return). Whatever your partner gifts you on Valentine’s Day, give them something worth triple as much to show them the depth of your love!

For a simpler White Day gift exchange, you can never go wrong with the classics: marshmallows, white chocolate, candy, cookies, or any white-colored souvenir will do. Think of things like white bags, purses, jewelry, or clothes.

No matter how you celebrate, remember to do so with love and kindness. From our heart to yours,

Happy White Day! ハッピーホワイトデ- !

Spring is in the Air! It’s finally here—the most wonderful

month of the year! And no, I’m not just saying that because it’s my birthday month. The mild temperatures make it the perfect time for outdoor adventures. So, grab your camera, sunglasses, and those trusty walking shoes—it’s time to head outside! I’m excited to introduce you to some of our readers who are doing just that.

@juliayoko.c effortlessly posed against one of the island’s most breathtaking backdrops at Casa Sol. This Bali-inspired café offers a delightful array of food and desserts, including a smoked salmon plate, poke bowls, and refreshing acai bowls. The café is dotted with picturesque spots perfect for a photo op, like the oversized chairs, a cozy bird’s nest, and a giant swing. If you’re feeling extra special, you can even rent a gown! Casa Sol is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., inviting you to relax, enjoy, and take in the views.

Kunigami District, Nakijin

@anastasiyanee took her kids on an exciting adventure to Senaga Island, where they stumbled upon MK Cafe. Known for its unique mackerel burgers made with locally sourced fish, the café also serves its signature brown rice flour bread, which pairs perfectly with the mackerel. If the food alone isn’t enough to entice you to make the trip down south, the stunning photo opportunities will definitely seal the deal—especially the spot where you’re surrounded by a breathtaking sea of blue.

Senaga Island, Tomigusuku

@daphneyj is all smiles at the stunning Uken Beach, famous for its soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. Whether you’re swimming, camping, or enjoying gear rentals, the beach has it all—including restrooms, showers, and food options. This tropical oasis is conveniently located right on the shores of Uruma City, so you won’t have to travel far to experience its beauty.

The swimming season runs from April to October.

We hope these spots get you as excited as they do us! Don’t forget to tag your next adventure with #VentureinOki for a chance to be featured in Venture Magazine!
