The Ryukyu Islanders in Okinawa were descendants of Polynesian immigrants and former Japanese populations, belonging to the South Island area of Kyushu before the Southern Song Dynasty, and later became independent of the Ryukyu Kingdom. China's Ming Dynasty quoted Taiwan's old list of rulers to be the king of Ryukyu, hundreds of years after Ryukyu separated the Kyushu mainland, a trade hub for neighboring countries because of waterways. By the end of the 19th century, the Ryukyu State had been recaptured by Samoto of Kagoshima. In 1879, after the Meiji Reconstruction, the Ryukyu State was incorporated into Japan, and Okinawa Prefecture was established the same year. After World War II, the United States occupied it. In 1972, the United States returned the Ryukyu Islands to Japan.

Certainly! Here's a template for a review of the Southeast Botanical Gardens in Okinawa:**Title:** A Tranquil Paradise in Okinawa**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars)**Review:**I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Southeast Botanical Gardens in Okinawa, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. This botanical garden is a true gem and a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.The variety of plant life on display is simply breathtaking. From vibrant tropical flowers to towering palm trees, the gardens offer a diverse range of botanical wonders. The well-maintained paths allow for leisurely strolls, and there are plenty of benches and resting spots along the way, making it accessible for visitors of all ages.One of the highlights of my visit was the beautiful orchid exhibit.

The butterfly house was another delightful surprise, where I was able to witness colorful butterflies in their natural habitat.The gardens are well-designed, with themed areas that cater to different tastes. Whether you're interested in tropical plants, succulents, or traditional Japanese gardens, you'll find something to pique your interest.Don't forget to visit the gift shop on your way out, where you can find unique botanical-themed souvenirs to remember your visit by.In summary, the Southeast Botanical Gardens in Okinawa offer a serene and visually stunning experience for nature lovers.

The entire aquarium area is large. There are outdoors and indoors. You can also visit the sea lion and dolphin performances without buying tickets. The indoor aquarium is not that big. The feature of the aquarium is the dark tide. You can see a lot of fish

UNESCO World Heritage - Cultural Sites
fishingrabbit
Shuri Castle, located in Okinawa, Japan, was a historically significant and culturally rich site. The castle served as the Ryukyu Kingdom's royal residence for centuries and featured a unique blend of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles. Unfortunately, in October 2019, a devastating fire destroyed the main hall and several other buildings, resulting in a loss of cultural heritage. The restoration efforts have been ongoing, aiming to preserve and rebuild this iconic landmark. Shuri Castle has always been a symbol of Okinawa's history and heritage, and its historical and cultural significance is undeniable.

At that time, I could go to Japan, and I could leave Shanghai. At that time, I didn’t need the itinerary code. At that time, I didn’t need to calculate the report... I took the children and family to Okinawa, Japan. Shouli City came a few years ago and came again. It was very meaningful.

Cape Manzamo in Okinawa is a stunning spot with a famous elephant trunk-shaped rock formation. It's great for photos, especially at sunset. The area is easy to access and has historical significance. It can get crowded during peak tourist times, but it's a must-see for its natural beauty and cultural value.
