Okinawa Prefecture's Unmissable Treasures

Okinawa features a distinct cultural heritage centered on the Ryukyu Kingdom, represented by UNESCO World Heritage gusuku castle ruins and sacred sites like Sefa-utaki. The prefecture's natural landscape includes the world-class Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the emerald waters of Kabira Bay, and the diverse coral reefs of Yonehara Beach. From the royal Shikinaen Garden in Naha to the dramatic coastal viewpoints of Ishigaki and the Pinaisara Falls on Iriomote Island, these sites showcase the region's unique history and subtropical biodiversity.
