Okinawa Prefecture is a supreme island resort surrounded by the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, boasting the only subtropical climate in Japan. It is home to a unique coexistence of the rich history of the former Ryukyu Kingdom, its own traditional culture, and overwhelming natural life force, including the "Kerama Blue" ocean, which boasts some of the world's highest transparency, and the primitive forests of "Yanbaru," a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Local food culture, such as pork dishes, Okinawa soba, and Awamori, is also exceptional. These islands, which bring deep relaxation and new discoveries to visiting travelers, are a supreme healing paradise that refreshes the mind and body from the depths and beautifully purifies the soul. We promise you a special trip where you can enjoy the exotic, subtropical charm of the islands with all five senses while still being in Japan.
