Coastline of Okinawa Island, Japan

Okinawa is the biggest island within the Ryukyu archipelago, a chain that extends more than a thousand square miles along the boundary of the East China Ocean and the Philippine Ocean. This range was a key hotspot amid World War II. The Fight of Okinawa was the Pacific Theatre's biggest land and water capable ambush and is thought to have been the Pacific's bloodiest battle. Although its title will continuously be connected to the war, Okinawa's wealthy culture extends back thousands of a long time. And the island's scene may be a collection of shocking vistas, such as this one neglecting the blue-green sea and an elevated coastal reef. Within the north of the island, the Yanbaru region is one of Asia's biggest tracts of subtropical rainforest, supporting more than 4,000 species, numerous of them uncommon and imperiled.
