Located in the East China Sea, Okinawa Prefecture belongs to the Kyushu region. It is divided into six zones: Okinawa Islands, Tokashiki Islands, Kerama Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands, and Senkaku Islands. The Kuroshio Current flows around Okinawa, causing the sea to be warm, which in turn causes high humidity and high temperatures. The temperature difference between spring, summer, fall, and winter is small, and warm weather prevails throughout the year. One of the highlights of Okinawa Prefecture is the sea with its shimmering coral reefs. In the clear and beautiful emerald green waters of Okinawa, there are many leisure spots where visitors can enjoy marine sports such as kayaking and snorkeling. When the sun sets, the reflection of the setting sun creates a spectacular view with a different atmosphere from that of the daytime. Chinsuko, a specialty of Okinawa Prefecture, is popular among people of all ages, and is characterized by its soft texture that crumbles in the mouth. Other famous gourmet products include Okinawa's soul food "Okinawa soba" and a local dish "goya chanpuru," both of which are unfamiliar to people in mainland Japan.
