Okinawa Naha Airport (OKA) Information

The Japanese city of Naha is situated on the East China Sea coast, of the southern part of Okinawa Island. Naha is the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture, and is the political, economic and education centre of the region. 

The city's most famous site, Shuri Castle was once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Destroyed during World War II, the castle was rebuilt in 1958 and 1992.
