Okinawa

Okinawa Prefecture once flourished as the Ryukyu Kingdom, with its own culture and customs developed around Shuri Castle. Today, traditional cultures such as Acer and Ryukyu dance, and Sanyin are still passed on. There are plenty of attractions to see, such as the world cultural heritage site, the Peace Prayer Park, which tells the history of the Battle of Okinawa, and the international street in Naha, a tourist center. In addition, the crystal clear waters and coral reefs of Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island attract tourists. In the food culture, you can enjoy the unique flavors of Okinawa, such as goya champloo, soki soba, and awamori. In addition, the production of pineapple and mango, which take advantage of the warm climate, is also thriving.
