What is a Okinawa?
Okinawa is a small island that is north of Taiwan and is part of the Ryukyu Islands, which is part of Japan. The US. used to own Okinawa after WWII but gave it back to Japan. Okinawa is a great tourist site with many beautiful beaches and many tropical plants and animals. Okinawa has many tropical fish living near it so snorkeling and scuba diving to see some of Okinawa's greatest reefs is very popular. Probably the most famous thing on Okinawa is the Cheri ,Aquarium. The aquarium holds many local fish and has whale sharks. Whale sharks are like giant sharks but they eat plankton instead of people and fish. It rains a lot in Okinawa to maintain its tropical forests. It can get very cold in the winter but NOTHING compared to Alaska and New York. Okinawa is very hot in the summer, so many go to one of the many gorgeous resorts on Okinawa. I hope you will visit Okinawa you Will never regret it!
