Visit Okinawa, Japan

With a thriving local culture and strong Chinese influences, arriving in Okinawa can feel like reaching an altogether different country.

Okinawa

Japan

The series of islands that make up the Okinawa archipelago form a huge arc stretching from southern Kyushu almost as far as Taiwan.

With a thriving local culture and strong Chinese influences, arriving in Okinawa can feel like reaching an altogether different country.

Exploring Okimawa

The main island of Okinawa-honto boasts some beautiful resort hotels, but for the best scenery visitors should head south to Ishigaki, close to the primeval jungle of Iriomote and Taketomi’s star-sand beaches.

Beaches

For snorkelling, diving and chill out beaches head west to the Kerama Islands of Kume, Tokashiki and Zamami. The quality of accommodation and beaches here may not yet rival those of Southeast Asia, but the rarity of foreign visitors to the region means you will experience a completely authentic Japanese holiday.
