LUXURY JAPAN TRAVEL_ HAKONE FUJI

Okinawa, lying nearly halfway between Kyushu and Taiwan, consists of more than 100 islands and isles of different sizes and is situated at the southern extremity of the Japanese Archipelago.

For about 400 years from the 15th century to the middle of the 19th century Okinawa had seen prosperity as the Kingdom of Ryuku, a prosperous state independent of Japan's central government. Cultural properties and conventions born through the intercourse with foreign countries in those days still survive in such interesting forms as artifacts and festivals, giving additional charm to Okinawa. The " Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu" are cultural heritages characteristically unique to the district of Ryukyu.

Today, the crystal blue sea with white-sand beaches and colorful fishes dancing through coral attracts vacationers as a holiday resort with many diving spots. The rito, or outer islands, were left comparatively untouched until recently. Among them visitors will find unspoiled fishing villages and coral seas along with the folk sounds, dances and festivals that recall the traditional Okinawan culture.
