For centuries, the islands\u2019 diverse people &#8211; who may have originated in China, other parts of Asia, or Australia &#8211; were united under the <strong>Ryukyu Kingdom<\/strong>. By the 15th century, this kingdom had become an economic power. The islands were later invaded by a clan from the Japanese mainland, and <strong>officially became part of Japan during the 1800s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During <strong>World War II<\/strong>, Okinawa was invaded by allied forces. The civilian population was decimated, as was the island\u2019s infrastructure and cultural relics. This battle became known as <em>tetsu no ame<\/em>, or \u201ctyphoon of steel.\u201d Echoes of this hardship are present throughout the prefecture. Yet, like a polished precious stone, Okinawa shines brightly despite these historically recent hardships.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7664\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shuri-castle-okinawa.jpg\" alt=\"Shuri Castle, Okinawa\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shuri-castle-okinawa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shuri-castle-okinawa-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shuri-castle-okinawa-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shuri Castle in Naha, Okinawa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_get_to_Okinawa\">How to get to Okinawa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most travelers to Okinawa do so <strong>by air<\/strong>. Okinawa\u2019s primary <strong>airport of Naha<\/strong> is located on Okinawa Main Island, or Okinawa Honto.<\/p>\n<p>A flight <strong>from Tokyo\u00a0to Okinawa<\/strong> takes approximately <strong>between 3 and\u00a0 2 and a half hours<\/strong>, departing from<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/japan-airports#Narita_International_Airport\">Narita Airport<\/a><\/strong>. You can fly from Tokyo to Okinawa from about $220 USD.<\/p>\n<p>Traveling <strong>from Osaka to Okinawa<\/strong>, via <strong>Kansai International Airport<\/strong>, takes <strong>about 2 hours<\/strong>. The flight to Naha from Osaka may cost you about $110 USD.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, <strong>ferries depart for Okinawa from Kagoshima<\/strong> three to four times weekly. The boat trip takes <strong>about 26 hours<\/strong>, with prices ranging from \u00a515,000 (about $130.00 USD) for fare with no sleeping accommodations, to \u00a537,000 (about $330.00 USD) for first class service with bedding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peak seasons<\/strong> for travel to Okinawa are during holidays such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/golden-week-travel-tips\">Golden Week<\/a> (late April to early May) and during the month of August. <strong>Tickets during these peak seasons sell out quickly and are more expensive<\/strong> than at other times. Special airfare passes are available to foreigners taking domestic flights in Japan such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/japan-flight-discounts\">Japan Explorer Pass<\/a>. These may reduce round-trip airfare to Okinawa to $115.00 US, or even less.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Getting_around_Okinawa\">Getting around Okinawa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Okinawa is an archipelago formed by several islands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Okinawa Island<\/strong> (aka Okinawa Hont\u014d) the main island<\/li>\n<li><strong>Iheya-Izena Islands<\/strong>: Iheya and Izena islands<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ie Island.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sesoko Island.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Yokatsu Islands<\/strong>: Yabuchi, Henza, Miyagi, Ikei, Hamahiga, Tsuken, Ukibara, Minamiukibara and Kudaka islands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kume Island.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Kerama Islands<\/strong>: Tokashiki, Zamami, Aka and Geruma islands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aguni Islands<\/strong>: Aguni and Tonaki islands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike the main islands of the Japanese archipelago, <strong>in Okinawa there are not as many transportation options or as convenient as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/shinkansen-bullet-trains\">Shinkansen<\/a><\/strong> or other trains, so getting around in Okinawa will be somewhat more complicated. We recommend, to explore Okinawa several days, <strong>rent a car<\/strong> (remember that in Japan you drive on the left side of the road).<\/p>\n<p>In any case, if you arrive to Okinawa <strong>from Naha Airport, you can get to Naha City using the Yui Rail<\/strong>, a monorail that will take you directly from the airport to the city.<\/p>\n<p>You will also find other means of transportation such as <strong>taxis and buses<\/strong>, and there is also the possibility of <strong>renting motorcycles and bicycles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Things_to_do_in_Okinawa\">Things to do in Okinawa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Packed with <strong>beaches and tropical forests<\/strong>, what is there not to do in Okinawa? <strong>Hiking, snorkeling, and scuba diving<\/strong> make the short list, but Okinawa has even more to offer.<\/p>\n<p>If Okinawa\u2019s diverse wildlife isn\u2019t enough for you, you can visit the <strong>Churaumi Aquarium<\/strong>, considered <strong>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/best-aquariums-in-japan\">best aquarium in Japan<\/a> and one of the best in the world<\/strong>. A highlight is the <strong>Kuroshio Tank, one of the largest fish tanks in the world<\/strong>, which houses the massive whale shark &#8211; the largest extant fish in the world. You\u2019ll also enjoy hands-on starfish exhibits; dolphin, sea turtle, and manatee shows; large-scale coral reef exhibits; displays of deep-sea bioluminescent fish; and more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/japan-aquarium-whale-shark-e1510316925312.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A favorite historical site is the <strong>Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum and Park<\/strong>, where you can honor the memory of those lost in the Battle of Okinawa. The sobering museum chronicles what led up to the battle, the battle itself, and the subsequent reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Shuri Castle<\/strong>, located in Naha, was built during the 14th century. It was used as a residence by the royal family of Ryukyu Kingdome becoming the political, economic and cultral heart of the Ryukyu Islands for 450 years. It has been destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout its history, most recently during World War II. In 1992 it was reconstructed for the last time in its original site.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Best_time_to_visit_Okinawa\">Best time to visit Okinawa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Okinawa\u2019s subtropical weather and climate make it a pleasant place to visit year-round<\/strong>.
