Wonder Okinawa

Posted by okinawatime on 2009/01/17

wonder-okinawa

Wonder Okinawa“  This is a great website created by Okinawa Prefecture (Okinawa Government)

They put a lot of time and effort presenting Okinawa’s history and culture. They also have valuable sources for tourist and much more. I have listed all the contents below with links to each site.  Each site is magnificently filled with information,  lots of images, music, and movies that you can’t get anywhere else and they are translated in English and in Japanese.

I am very pleased of their excellent work and I have enjoyed learning more about Okinawa and I am more educated in my heritage.  I just can’t wait until my next visit to Okinawa!
