Okinawa
Okinawa
City Overview
Shuri Castle and Shuri Gate are the ancient capital of the Ryukyu dynasty. In Naha, which is full of life, you want to walk along international streets and public markets. In the north, there are Yanbaraya, where the subtropical jungle spreads, the headquarters peninsula where the beauty sea aquarium is located, and the Nago and Onna areas where resort hotels and leisure facilities are located. In the central part where American culture lives, I want to experience Okinawan culture such as Ryukyu cuisine and dance in Koza, which is also known as a city of music. The islands with a rich personality such as Miyako, Ishigaki and Iriomote are also attractive.
