Japan - Okinawa & the Southwest Islands (PDF Chapter)
Japan’s Southwest Islands are a Japan you may not know exists: a chain of semitropical, coral-fringed islands evocative of Hawaii or Southeast Asia. They’re a nature lover’s paradise: lush primeval forests, killer beaches, crystal-clear waters, Japan’s best coral reefs, subtropical jungles and mangrove swamps can be found hidden here. But spectacular nature is only part of it - the Southwest Islands exude a peculiarly ‘un-Japanese’ culture and the Ryūkyū cultural heart still beats strongly here.
Coverage includes: Kagoshima Prefecture, Ōsumi Islands, Amami Islands, Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa-hontō, Islands Near Okinawa-hontō, Miyako Islands, and Yaeyama Islands.
