Unique Cultural Hybrid and a Tropical Paradise
Okinawa Prefecture is subtropical islands in southern Japan (stretches between Kyushu Region of Japan and Taiwan). The prefecture consists of over 160 islands (including 49 inhabited islands) which are divided into three major island groups: the Okinawa Islands, the Miyako Islands and the Yaeyama Islands. The Okinawa prefecture offers a different experience altogether. An island group off the southern coast of Japan’s mainland, Okinawa has a comfortable subtropical climate and a unique culture. Plan carefully, and you’ll see beautiful beaches, amazing aquatic life, and breathtaking landmarks on every day of your journey.
The mention of Japan rarely conjures up images of coral-fringed islands bathed in sunshine and lapped by turquoise waters. Okinawa, a prefecture comprising more than 150 islands, reveals a Japan that many didn't know existed. Gaining popularity as a travel destination, Okinawa is a unique cultural hybrid and a tropical paradise of beaches and jungles, now easier than ever to access from mainland Japan. It continues to be a blend of the untouched and secluded, and the lively and developing, as it grows to be a popular beach getaway for travelers but works to keep the natural beauty and life of the islands.
