Okinawa Prefecture

Okinawa, somewhat separated from Japan’s main islands, effortlessly blends Japanese style and American culture. Its southerly location gives it a subtropical climate, which has earned Okinawa a reputation as the “Oriental Hawaii.” Okinawa’s attractions are centered on Naha, with scenic areas to the north and south. The outlying Yaeyama and Miyako Islands offer fantastic seascapes, beaches, and deep sea diving.
