Okinawa Prefecture is located in the southwestern part of Japan and consists of about 70 small islands scattered around. It has four seasons and receives more rainfall than any other prefecture. Okinawa is also a popular sightseeing spot in Japan.

Okinawa has its own unique cultural background because of the deep connection between Okinawa and China in ancient times, and that is how Okinawan cuisine and Ryukyu court cuisine got their names.
