Introducing Okinawa

Dubbed the ‘Hawaii of Japan’, Okinawa catches the attention of people from all over the globe. Famous for white-sand beaches, colourful coral reefs, and delightful weather, Okinawa attracts visitors because of its low-stress lifestyle, rich culture, and healthy cuisine — all likely reasons why Okinawans enjoy one of the longest lifespans in the world.

The Okinawa Prefecture is a group of over 150 subtropical islands located at the south of Japan. The largest island is Okinawa Island, where a majority of Okinawa’s population resides. Other major islands include Kume Island, the Kerama Islands, the Yaeyama Islands, and the Miyako Islands. Okinawa is also home to Yambaru National Park, Japan’s largest subtropical rainforest.

As soon as you arrive in Okinawa, you’ll immediately encounter a culture that is quite different from other parts of Japan. Discover and explore the island’s temples, shrines, castles, and gardens and try some signature Okinawan dishes such as gōyā chanpurū (a bitter melon stir-fry) and Okinawa-style soba noodles. Interestingly, you’ll also find a significant presence of American food here, no doubt due to the numerous United States Armed Forces located on Okinawa Island as part of the U.S.-Japan military alliance.

Top three things to do in Okinawa

Dive into one of Okinawa’s beautiful beaches

You can’t go to Okinawa and not visit the beach. The island group’s pristine white sand and turquoise waters make this a dream destination for beach lovers. Soak in the warm, subtropical climate on beaches on Okinawa Island and the surrounding islands. You can simply relax or participate in water activities such as swimming, diving, snorkeling, and more.

Transport yourself to feudal Japan at one of Okinawa's castles

Get a look into Okinawan history and culture at one of the several castles situated on Okinawa Island. The most famous of these is Shurijo Castle, a reconstructed monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site from the dynasty of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located in Naha City. Other important castle sites in Okinawa include Nakagusuku Castle, Katsuren Castle, and Nakijin Castle.

Go forest bathing at Yambaru National Park

Those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city should check out Yambaru National Park. This subtropical forest is an excellent place to immerse yourself in nature and biodiversity. Practice the famous Japanese art of shinrin yoku, also known as forest bathing, to clear your mind and connect with your surroundings.
