Naha is the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture and the most populated city on Okinawa Island, the largest of the prefecture’s 160 islands. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, Okinawa was its own kingdom and experienced flourishing trade with other nearby countries, leading to a unique culture that you won’t find anywhere else in Japan. You can experience remnants of this time through the many castle ruins that are scattered around Okinawa Island and are easily accessed from Naha.

With its subtropical climate, Okinawa Prefecture is the perfect place to be if you enjoy the beach and water activities such as snorkeling and diving. Naha’s own Naminoue Beach stretches out underneath Naminoue Shrine, which is perched on top of a cliff. You can easily travel from Naha to other more remote islands and beaches in the area if you prefer somewhere more serene. Go from sand to pavement as you explore Kokusaidōri, the lively main street with shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars.
