Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands is the first comprehensive guide to the 150-island chain stretching across 600 miles from Japan almost to Taiwan - islands that are some of the most stunningly beautiful and remote places in the world! Experienced author and traveler Robert Walker tells you exactly how to get to each of the major islands, where to stay and what to see there, including:
- Detailed ferry and flight information
- What historical and cultural landmarks to check out
- Where to find the best beaches and surf spots
- Sights suitable for families with children
- Hikes and nature walks for all ages
- Hotels and restaurants on all inhabited islands
Lavishly illustrated with over 200 color photographs and 40 maps, this book provides visitors with essential travel information needed to visit all of the islands and view the sights - including active volcanoes, natural hot springs, pristine white sand beaches, castles, palaces and more. It includes a large fold-out map with detailed inserts of the major islands and towns.
The book releases on May 27 and can be pre-ordered online at Tuttle Publishing, Amazon.com or a bookstore near you.
