Okinawa Hontō, the main island of Okinawa Prefecture, formed the center of the Ryukyu Kingdom in historic Japan. It is considered a regional transportation hub and is the most densely populated island in the region. Certainly, Okinawa can not be explored within one day, but the holidaymaker can expect a wide variety of offers. If you are interested in history, you will discover a lot of interesting facts in the Peace Park. Furthermore, excursions to the restored Shuri Castle and the Churaumi Aquarium are also worthwhile. Okinawa gets its unique atmosphere from the many castles and gardens from the Ryukyu period.
