About Okinawa Okinawa has long been a popular destination for domestic Japanese travelers looking for a relaxing beach holiday, but in recent years, the island has gained in popularity among international visitors. Okinawa translates to “rope in the open sea,” describing the long stretch of islands between the four main islands of Japan and Taiwan.
Okinawa enjoys a subtropical climate throughout the year, making it a perfect year-round holiday destination. With its own languages and customs, born of contact with Taiwan and China as well as the rest of Japan, Okinawa is a land of mixed cultural influences. The most obvious expressions of this unique Ryukyu culture are found in the island’s cuisine and many art forms, which have become the trademarks and pride of the area.
