Okinawa Prefecture is one of Japan's southern prefectures,
and consists of hundreds of the Ryukyu Islands in a chain over 1,000 km long,
which extends southwest from Kyu-shu (the southwesternmost of Japan's main four islands)
to Taiwan.
Okinawa's capital, Naha, is located in the southern part of the largest and
most populous island, Okinawa Island, which is approximately
half-way between Kyu-shu and Taiwan.
The disputed Senkaku Islands (Chinese: Diaoyu Islands) are also
administered as part of Okinawa Prefecture at present.
