Mention Okinawa to a mainland Japanese and you’ll likely receive a wistful sigh in return.
Perpetually warm weather, clear seas bursting with fish, fantastic food, gentle people, unspoilt beaches and jungle…the list could go on.More than one hundred subtropical islands, collectively known as the Ryūkyū Shotō, stretch over 700km of ocean from Kyūshū southwest to Yonaguni-jima, almost within sight of Taiwan, and provide one of Japan’s favourite getaways.

Number 1: Okinawa is Made of Coral.
Okinawa is a haven for divers, snorkelers and undersea explorers.
The waters surrounding the islands are home to an abundance of coral reefs, natural sea caves and marine life.

Number 2: Okinawa Contains Japan's Salt River.
The Shiokawa or 'Salt River' of Okinawa's Motobu Peninsula is the Salt river in Japan and one of just a few salt water rivers in the world.

Number 3:Karate is an Okinawan Export
Karate, one of the most well-known styles of martial arts in the world, developed in Okinawa (then known as the Ryukyu Kingdom) as a hybrid between traditional Chinese and Ryukyuan hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Number 4:Okinawa was the Ryukyu Kingdom Until 1872
During the Heian Period of mainland Japan, the Ryukyu Kingdom was a prosperous sovereign nation of merchants, artisans, fishers and farmers, maintaining close political ties with China and other countries in southeast Asia.

Number 5: 36% of Okinawa's Land is Protected
Okinawa is a long island chain with a climate ranging from suptropical to rainforest, supporting a wide range of habitats.
The islands are home to a variety of plant and animal life, including many endemic endangered species like the Yonaguni Horse and the Iriomote Wildcat.

Number 6: 75% of US Military Bases are in Okinawa
After World War II, Okinawa came under US military rule, known as the United States Military Government of the Ryukyu Islands.It was during this time that the US government seized land to build military camps and training grounds, displacing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

Number 7:Okinawan Salt is in the Guinness Book of World Records
Many believe that the key to the Okinawans' longevity is due to the clean, mineral-rich waters surrounding the islands.
On Miyagi Island east of Naha in Uruma City, the Nuchi Masu ('Salt of Life') salt factory is renown for its natural sea salt, which is low in sodium and high in essential minerals.

In Conclusion
Japan's newest prefecture, Okinawa, is famous for its beautiful oceans, buttery-soft beaches and relaxed, easygoing locals.

I went to Okinawa back in 2018 September! It was such an amazing experience! I love the places! I went to one island at Tokashiki since I was there for a short while, but I cannot wait to come back there and explore more! Churaumi aquarium was definitely the highlight of my trip there along with visiting the castle before it got burned down. I was able to go see the delicious food options at Kokusai dori! I still can't get my mind off the taco rice and sata andagi and even the mochi! I hope to be back there in the future!
