Where to go in Japan

Where to go in Japan: Okinawa




Crystal blue seas, white-sand beaches and colorful marine life. Shuri Castle, home of the King of Ryukyu.

Okinawa, lying nearly halfway between Kyushu and Taiwan, consists of more than 100 islands and isles of different sizes and is situated at the southern extremity of the Japanese Archipelago. The climate there is mild and comfortable to live, with temperatures not falling below the springtime levels in Tokyo and Osaka even in winter.

On the islands grow gregariously tropical and semitropical plants, like banyan trees, blooming one after another all the year round. The features of Okinawa also include the inhabitation of many rare living things, such as Iriomote wildcats registered as a natural monument and living on the Iriomote-jima Island. The crystal blue sea with white-sand beaches and colorful fishes dancing through coral attracts vacationers as a holiday resort with many diving spots.
