Okinawa Japan may not be on most travellers’ beach bucket-list, but the coral reef-fringed islands can rival other beach hotspots in the Asia Pacific. Okinawa’s archipelago of 160 subtropical islands is a popular summer travel destination. Japan’s best beaches are here, luring beach lovers with its crystalline waters, while divers extol the remarkable underwater visibility and marine life. The Okinawa aquarium Churaumi is a fascinating highlight for its whale sharks and manta rays.
