Hotels in Okinawa, Japan
Okinawa, a subtropical island chain between Taiwan and mainland Japan, is famous for its blue waters and the tragic WWII battle sites. With average highs of 30°C (86°F) in summer, you can dive with whale sharks at Churaumi Aquarium or snorkel at the Kerama Islands, while mild winters at 20°C (68°F) are perfect for exploring Shuri Castle and the Peace Memorial Park. The main island offers city life in Naha, but for untouched beaches, take a ferry to Miyako or Ishigaki.
