Okinawa in the past was known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, an independent state until the late 19th century in the Meiji Era. Okinawa enjoys a mostly subtropical climate because it lies off the coast of Kyushu. That is why it is one of the best places to go to Japan if you are looking for some sand, sun and surf.

Here are some of Okinawa spots that you should wander through:

Shuri Castle

The most significant monument to the present Ryukyu Kingdom which used to serve as a royal palace is the Shuri Castle. The Shuri Castle is also one of the main attractions in Naha City on Okinawa Honto. One reason tourists love to stroll here is to enjoy the gusuku architecture of the castle which is built in a traditional Okinawa style.

Sadly, just like any other castle, the Shuri Castle has also been destroyed several times and had to be restored during 1958 and 1992. So the building that the tourist loves seeing that is standing right now is not the original anymore.

Okinawa World

Located at the south of the main island is a theme park which encompasses the Gyokusendo Cave and is dedicated to Okinawa culture, called the Okinawa World. The best tourist highlight spot in the theme park is the 3,000 years old limestone cave which stretches up to 5km — the Gyokusendo Cave. Okinawa is a great option to stroll on rainy days too! Tourists can go into the mysterious cave and wander for 890 meters on the walkway, how amazing is that stroll!

There are a lot of souvenir stalls found outside the cave where tourists can pick-up and choose some of local trinkets including snake liquor which is unique as one of the delicacies in Okinawa.

Iriomote Island

Iriomote is the largest island of Yaeyama Island that can be accessed by a speed boat in just 40 minutes from Ishigaki Island.

The top activity on the island is exploring its rich and abundant nature by sea kayaking, paddle boarding and hiking.
