Okinawa, Japan

Okinawa is made up of several islands and is a popular tourist place for both locals and international visitors. Although it has a bloody history as Okinawa is the place where towards the end of World War Two, Okinawa became the stage of one of the war’s bloodiest battles, when American troops invaded the islands. Okinawa remained under US administration until 1972, while several thousands of US military members remain stationed on the spacious and controversial US military bases on Okinawa Main Island today.
But that doesn’t stop that Okinawa has the best coral reefs and abundance of wildlife. So for those of you who would are into aqua-marine life, you really should visit Okinawa. Oh another plus factor is that the islands are subtropical – that means during winter, the lowest temperature it’d go to is about 15 degrees C. That’s a fine weather -at least i’d trade that for -18 degrees anyday!
Okinawa is best accessed by planes, unless you want to swim there from the Japan’s main island.
This is how the island look like scattered outside of Japan:
