Okinawa Island (沖縄本島, Okinawa-hontō, alternatively 沖縄島 Okinawa-jima; Okinawan: 沖縄/うちなー Uchinaa or 地下/じじ jiji;Kunigami: ふちなー Huchináa) is the largest of the Okinawa Islands and the Ryukyu (Nansei) Islands of Japan. The island has an area of 1,206.93 square kilometers (466.00 sq mi). It is roughly 640 kilometres (400 mi) south of the rest of Japan, roughly the same distance off the coast of China, and 500 km (300 mi) north of Taiwan. The Greater Naha area, home to the capital (or more accurately—prefectural seat) of Okinawa Prefecture on the southwestern part of Okinawa Island, has roughly 800,000 of the island's 1.3 million residents, while the city itself is home to about 320,000. The island hosts the majority of the US troops stationed in Japan. Over the last 70 years, there have been periods of conflict and distrust between the US troops and the local Japanese population.
The island's population is known as one of the longest living people in the world, together with the Sardinians whose island is located in the Mediterranean sea (22 centenarians/100,000 inhabitants); in fact, there are 34 centenarians per 100,000 people, which is more than three times the rate of mainland Japan.

Satoumi is defined as marine and coastal landscapes that have been formed and maintained by prolonged interaction between humans and ecosystems. The essential elements of the Okinawan approach to satoumi include "commons" and "local rules". The former refers to resources that are shared and used by local people. The latter refers to resource use regulations that are autonomously determined by local communities. Okinawa's satoumi is also characterized by ino — shallow, calm waters located between the offshore coral reefs where the waves break, and the shore.

Transcript: "Heading to Okinawa? These are my Top 5 picks for what to do while you are there. First, head to Shuri Castle. This ancient fortress is fully restored. and - Shuri is located on top of hill, so you get one of the best views in Naha. Second on the list, shop and eat on Kokusai Dori. This is Okinawas most famous street. It is busy, busy, busy and it has tons of restaurants and shops with colorful souveniors and authentic Okinawa crafts as well. Your third stop should be the WW2 Peace Memorial. This is located at the southern end of the island. The memorial has the names of everyone who died in the battle of Okinawa. it is a moving monument that is surrounded by stunning views. I also recommend that you visit Ocean Expo Park and Churaumi Aquarium. There is a village w...
Looking to get outdoors in Okinawa, Japan. Hiji Falls is the largest waterfall in Okinawa and a good excuse for a hike. Wear some good shoes because this is a vigorous hike. Transcript: "Hi. I'm James Knott. We're in Okinawa, Japan and today we are going to explore Hiji Falls. The highest waterfall in Okinawa is located on the northern part of the island in Kunigami village near Okuma. There is a small building at the trailhead where you pay 500 yen for access to the trail. It is a one mile hike to the falls, which starts out gently, but gets quite vigorous when you enter the forest. The trail follows the Hiji River over many bridges and up and downs dozens of staircases. Along the way, we pass several sweaty hikers returning from the falls. My good friend Haru-san, who always g...

The Kerama Islands (慶良間諸島 Kerama-shotō?, Okinawan: キラマ Kirama) are a group of 22 islands located 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of Okinawa Island in Japan. Four of the islands are inhabited: Tokashiki Island, Zamami Island, Aka Island, and Geruma Island.[1] The islands are within Shimajiri District.[2] The Kerama-shotō coral reef is a Ramsar Site.[3] During World War II and preliminary to the Battle of Okinawa, soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division landed in the Kerama Islands on March 26, 1945. Further landings followed, and the Kerama group was secured over the next five days. Kerama was used as a staging area for the assault on Okinawa. During the battle the first civilian mass suicides that later marked the Battle of Okinawa took place. For more info, visit this link: https://en.wik...
