Naha

Tucked along Okinawa Island’s western coast on the East China Sea, Naha is a city whose character is shaped by its subtropical maritime setting. The prefectural capital is Okinawa’s main urban centre, where the former Ryukyu Kingdom developed as a seafaring power trading with Japan, China and Southeast Asia. Shuri, once the royal seat and now a district of Naha, holds the ruins of Shuri Castle, part of the UNESCO-listed Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu. Kokusai Street brings a busy contemporary pulse, while Tsuboya is closely associated with Okinawan pottery.
