Tidal flats have formed in the inland sea, which is a habitat for shellfish and other rare organisms. The area has also been designated as a national Wildlife Protection Area due to the high number of migratory birds that visit.

  • Nakahara Baba Avenue of Pines
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Kunigami-gun Nakijin Mura Koechi
    This row of pine trees is located along National Route 505 in Nakijin Village, Okinawa Prefecture. The approximately 30-meter-wide row of pine trees continues for about 250 meters to the gate of Nakijin Elementary School. It was once a horseriding ground that frequently served as a venue for regional folk events, horse races, and other functions in the pre-war era. The Luchu pines are said to have been planted by the 18th-century statesman Sai On. Although there were once horse-riding grounds all over Okinawa, most of them have been developed into farm land or residential areas, making this one a valuable example of a place that still looks as it did centuries ago.

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.
