Okinawa - Okinawa Arena

 

Okinawa is the largest of the Okinawa Islands and Ryukyu Islands in the Kyushu region. It is the smallest of the five main islands of Japan, with a little less than 1.4 million inhabitants. With a humid subtropical climate due to the rainforest stretching along the north of the Island, the economy of Okinawa is mostly based on tourism.
