Located on the island of Okinawa, Naha is Japan’s southernmost prefecture and it is a beautiful off-beat vacation destination for both Japanese people and even international tourists. The city combines the new and the old with medieval Japanese buildings, temples and castles with the modern high rise buildings, commercial streets and of course, sandy beaches.
Naha has been populated since the stone age where relics from generations are still being found. Things like Chinese coins and ancient pottery have been dug from archaeological sites making the region one of the most important trading points in East Asia. The Shuri castle was built as a result of the island’s prosperity and it still stands today. An open-air marketplace was also established near official government buildings where many temples were located. During WWII, much of the city was destroyed and practically the entire place had to be rebuilt, giving way to the Naha that many people know and love today.
Naha is a popular tourist destination with amazing weather all year round, so why not take your next vacation to somewhere tropical and exotic. There a ton of amazing hotels to stay in, so let us guide you through the best hotels in the area.
