Okinawa Attractions
Okinawa is the southernmost prefecture in Japan and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The island chain, consisting of 49 inhabited and 111 uninhabited islands, is blessed with a balmy subtropical climate and flourishing coral reefs around its beautiful shores. In addition to the paradisiacal island culture, Okinawa boasts a rich and complex history. Swimming, diving, and snorkeling rank high among the many things to do in Okinawa, but during your stay stray away from the resort-ready beaches and discover the unique culture of the region through visits to historic Ryukyu sites and theme parks that showcase the many facets of Okinawa's vibrant character.
