😍Why you 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿 to visit Okinawa!🌎

🀯I put Okinawa on the bottom of my list for so long cuz I always just thought of it as “just another tropical island.” But here’s why you consider going😍:

🇯🇵 Okinawa is NOTHING like the rest of Japan. It has its own rich culture & traditions that you can’t experience anywhere else!

🌏 A variety of Asian influence! Before being acquired by Japan, Okinawa was a huge trading region! There are strong influences from various Asian countries’ architectural styles/cultures + can be seen all over the region.

🏝 There’s over ONE HUNDRED islands! Okinawa isn’t just a dinky little island, it is a whole collection of islands that spans from mainland Japan all the way to Taiwan! There’s so much to see 🥰

☀ Most of the year, the weather is incredible! During the winter, while the rest of Japan is freezing 🥶 Okinawa is a great place to warm up 🔥

🐠 There’s plentiful marine life! Some of the best diving + snorkeling is done in Okinawa! It is full of gorgeous coral reefs, turtles, whales, and various fish kinds of fish 🐢

⏰ Okinawa is on “island time.” Japan is known for being super punctual but Okinawa is a different ball game! This can definitely throw people off when they visit, but it’s a beautiful place to relax & not stress about where you need to be

Do you enjoy visiting tropical beach destinations? What do you usually like to do!? 😍
