About Naha

Okinawa is not quite Japan and has never pretended to be. The Ryukyu Kingdom left a cultural legacy distinct from anything on the main islands. Naha's Tug-of-War Festival involves a rope weighing forty tonnes and over two hundred thousand participants — officially the world's largest tug of war.
