Welcome to Okinawa, Japan

Welcome to Okinawa, a small tropical (and humid) island paradise!  Okinawa has beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and crystal blue, postcard-picture waters.  Tune in here for Okinawa Japan updates - from outdoor recreation and entertainment ideas to ideas for date night with your spouse or significant other.

We hope you enjoy your stay, the beautiful weather, and the unique culture.   If we can help you in any way as you PCS/move to Japan, or as you enjoy the great outdoors, watersports, & recreation that Okinawa has to offer, please let us know. 

NEW - Looking for off-base/off-post food under the current Okinawa restrictions - we discovered the other day that Obbligato's restaurant delivers to the gate...see bottom of page for their menu.  Any other good tips or restaurants delivering?  Let us know.
