Okinawa is Japan’s southernmost prefecture, comprising three island groups stretching from Kagoshima Prefecture to within 110 kilometres of Taiwan.
The archipelagos of Okinawa are part of the Southwest Islands, offering a unique Japanese experience with their subtropical climate, lush forests and stunning scenery resembling the famous Thai islands.
The Miyako Islands have some of the best beaches in the country, particularly on Miyako-jima, the coral-fringed Yaeyama Islands offer superb diving and snorkelling spots and the Okinawa Islands are home to the prefecture’s capital and transport hub, Naha.
The Yaeyamas boast an extensive ferry network, offering fast and frequent crossings within the archipelago, all operated by one of the region’s leading ferry companies. Also, given the isolated location of Okinawa, travelling by ferry is the most reliable way to jump between the islands.
