Is Okinawa JAPAN?

Countries are overall fairly large places and a difference of cultures is to be expected wherever you go. The same can be said for Okinawa, a chain of islands stretching 1000km long Southwest of Japan’s main island. Despite initially having it’s own culture and civilization present, Okinawa was officially annexed by Japan in 1868 during the Meiji restoration and has been a part of Japan ever since.
Unique experiences: The Soul of Japan

If you go to the Ryukyu village you can participate in something truly special. You can use traditional Okinawan instruments to reproduce some of the most well-known songs in Okinawa. We emplore you to try to connect with Okinwan culture as much as you can during your trip. Okinawans are especially friendly and willing to help any and everyone.
#Shopping! Shop, Shop, Shop, till you DROP

Our most important destination is on the main strip of Kokusai International Street located in the capital of Okinawa, Naha. An impressive shop called HAPiNAHA is a shopping mall catered to travelers seeking a real piece of Okinawa. Due to its location, there are many souvenirs from all over mainland Okinawa and it’s neighboring islands.
