Okinawa Facts:
Okinawa Island (Okinawan: Uchinaa) has a rich and varied history that is distinct from much of Japan. Long home to peoples with a language and culture related yet distinct from much of Japan, Okinawa was controlled by the Ryukyu Kingdom from its capital at Shuri Castle starting in the 15th century. A successful invasion by the Satsuma domain in 1609, and later its formal annexation by the Japanese Empire in 1879, meant that the islanders gradually acquired a Japanese identity though its influence on the island. While some modern infrastructure was constructed in the first half of the 20th century, including a few railroads, the island was devastated in one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War, leading to a quarter of the civilian population perishing. Since then, a heavy American military presence has characterized the island, continuing well after the island’s return to Japanese control in 1972.
Today, Okinawa Island is home to 1.4 million people, this population being the youngest and fastest-growing in Japan. It has also found itself becoming a popular destination for travelers both Japanese and foreign looking to enjoy some tropical sun, delicious food, and unique culture.
