Okinawa consists of 160 islands, like a string of pearls thrown across the Pacific Ocean. It is the home of water sports and aquariums, and whether you fancy diving with whale sharks, or kayaking over coral reefs, this beautiful island is a great place to relax and have fun. Back on land, American culture is never far away, with baseball fever filling the stadiums of Naha city. Navigating the city is a breeze on the monorail, while further afield, hiring a car or hailing a bus using a Google Maps is a great way to get around and to slow down to island time.
