    "This avenue extending northwest from the Goya North intersection of National Route 330 was developed as a shopping mall to attract Japanese customers. It originated as a business center catering mainly to the U.S military. Called ""BC Street"" during the Vietnam War era, it would later be renamed when it was redeveloped. The avenue received the Tezukuri Furusato Award from the current Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in 1987 for the sense of unity created by its white sphere-shaped roofs and roadside palm trees. It features restaurants offering a wide diversity of cuisines as well as many unique sundries shops."

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.
