Relaxed pace
Okinawa is a different country from the mainland, and ten nights reaches the islands that prove it. Naha to start, then the coral shallows of Miyako and the jungle rivers of Ishigaki, at the slowest pace in Japan and in a sea that stays warm most of the year.
Beyond Naha: Miyako's coral reefs, Ishigaki's mangroves, connected by island hop.
