Introduction to Okinawa
This is your Ultimate Okinawa Travel Guide. Okinawa is a vibrant island prefecture of Japan nestled in the azure waters of the East China Sea. The “Hawaii of Japan” boasts a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty. Our family (On our mom’s side) is from this part of the world. We had the pleasure of living here for 9+ years. With a lineage steeped in the Ryukyu Kingdom, Okinawa’s unique cultural identity has changed dramatically over centuries. The Okinawan culture blends indigenous traditions with influences from China, Southeast Asia, and Japan. This enchanting destination is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Shuri Castle, representing the heart of Ryukyuan history and the Yanbaru forest up north representing the unique natural landscape of this part of the world. Okinawa’s world-famous longevity (It boasts more centenarians than any other part of the world)ย is often attributed to its healthy lifestyle and nutritious diet, highlighted by iconic dishes like Goya Champuru and Rafute. Visitors to Okinawa are captivated by its stunning landscapes, diving and cuisine. The warm hospitality and resilient spirit of its people is another amazing aspect of this island making it a captivating destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of history, culture, and culinary delights.

If you want to post multiple options like 1-2 days, 3-5 days, 5-9 days and 14 plus days that might be helpful or we can just do a generic 7 day itinerary initially. We would want to share what we have done or things that are recommended but didn’t have time to do ourselves. whatever we want really.
