    Okinawa Pref. Nakagamigunyomitanson Uza Hagiwara 1933
    This lighthouse is located in a scenic area where cliffs of an elevated coral reef rise to heights of 30 to 40 meters and stretches for two kilometers. It is on Cape Zanpa that juts out into the East China Sea nearly in the center of Okinawa’s main island. It is also the place where the disastrous battle on Okinawa began, when the US military used the cape as a marker for their fierce assault on April 1, 1945.

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
