OUR 35TH ANNIVERSARY
35周年
Thank you for your interest in (or even curiosity about) Okinawa. What most people know of this charming island group is its role as the “bloodiest battle of World War II, in the Pacific.”
Indeed, that was a very significant few months in our history, which affects the prefecture today. However, who we are and the amazing story of our unique culture and heritage goes back thousands of years. Check out our History of Okinawa page.
Our organization is, foremost, about supporting the expatriate (or more appropriately, diasporic) Okinawan community in the southeastern US. We, also, have a passion to cultivate and share our rich culture, fascinating history, elegant arts and enviable lifestyle with anyone and everyone. To see what we are doing and the the details of our events, go to the EVENTS page.
So, please search this website. Get to know us, where we come from, what we do and where you can see and meet with us. We hope you learn something that interests you and provokes you to ask questions.
For information on the fire and destruction of Shuri Castle, go to the Shurijo Destroyed by Fire page. Please leave a comment or memory.
