Okinawa is made up of 41 inhabited and 16 uninhabited islands between mainland Japan and Taiwan. Being the only sub-tropical prefecture in Japan, its weather is mild even through winter. This is why it is one of the most popular tourist spots in Japan. In Okinawa, the beaches are a must-go for water and adventure sports like scuba diving, surfing, and offshore fishing. While there, you should visit the Southeast Botanical Gardens, Central Park Avenue, Shurijo Castle, Okinawa Peace Park, Churaumi Aquarium, Hiji Falls, and Ie Island.

If you are looking for cheap flights to Okinawa, you should consider a flight with a number of layovers. Depending on what destination you are coming from, you may have to choose a flight with at least one stopover. Another way to save money is to travel during the off-peak season. You can also book your lodging, flight, and car rental together in a package deal, which can save you a substantial amount of money. The cheapest time of the week to travel is the middle of the week because you avoid vacationers on the weekend and business travelers on Monday.
