Okinawa
Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes.
At Japan’s southernmost point, nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Tokyo, lay the Yaeyama Islands - 19 tiny islands scattered around a turquoise subtropical sea like emeralds strewn across panes of stained glass. Part of Okinawa Prefecture, this secluded island cluster is home to white sand beaches, coral reefs teeming with fish, balmy jungles, lush mangrove forests, and more. Spend the morning hiking through dense rainforest to a hidden waterfall before retiring to a deserted beach to catch some rays from the afternoon sun. Float placidly down a river in a kayak, or climb astride a high tech road bicycle to hit the pavement. Whatever your speed, the Yaeyama Islands are the perfect destination for your next tropical getaway.
