Subtropical islands, coral reefs and the Ryukyu kingdom’s heritage.

Okinawa has a culture of its own: the rebuilt Shuri Castle of the Ryukyu kings, sanshin music, awamori and a famously long-lived population. Coral reefs, the Churaumi Aquarium and white beaches on the Kerama Islands make it Japan’s best beach destination.
