Okinawa

Okinawa (I do not mediate an old man) is the Japanese South-West and the metropolis and districts located in the most west end.
Prefectural seat is Naha-shi.

It is an area occupying the Ryukyu archipelago among the south of the Japanese Islands, the South-West Islands.
The climate belongs to the subtropical zone in most areas, and most wintry moon average temperature belongs to the tropical zone more than 18 degrees Celsius in Tara Majima / Ishigaki-jima Island / Iriomote-jima Island / Yonaguni-jima Island / Oki Daito-Jima.

To the Ryukyu disposal of the Meiji era, it was Ryukyu kingdom of both Sino-Japanese genus historically.
Therefore culture / manners and customs unlike the other metropolis and districts root, and the tourism industry which kept these alive is prosperous.
In addition, because it is known as a domestic eminent longevity area, and the eating habits attract its attention, but on the other hand the food culture that they rooted in in the postwar U.S.A. rule times is deep and seeps, the average life span of Okinawa changes, and long Shou County ranking falls with the boy nationwide.

Because the United States Armed Forces occupied it after a ground war (Okinawa round) in the Pacific Wars, it was put in the administrative authority bottom of U.S. forces until 1972 throughout.
There are now many US bases after the return and becomes the important political issue.

It is treated independently with Kyushu region, but there is usually it when I am included in Kyushu region in the jurisdictions of government offices and the company.
It is reference with an origin of "nine states" of Kyushu #.

That Okinawa congressist election is nationwide local elections is one of few representative of the Metropolitan, Hokkaido, or Prefectural Assembly election that are not carried out; (the others, Tokyo, Ibaraki).
This is sake by election after the Japanese return having been performed on June 25, 1972, and circumstances are different from two other capital prefectures (the dissolution of the assembly).

In important traditional buildings save district Japanese soil, I have the culture of the original color.
The culture of history / Okinawa of Okinawa wants to be referred to, too.

There is music with a unique musical scale.
It is sung flourishingly now, and, as for the folk song, influence is big in a music genre of the popular system.

Because there was not carnivorous taboo like the mainland because influence of the Buddhism was weak (only beef prohibits it by a King prefecture), pork cooking develops traditionally, and there can be the thing eating the meat of the goat.
It may be said that cooking the blood of the pig is a thing only in Okinawa.
Kombu of the Hokkaido product is used for the eating habits well.

In addition, the food culture at the time of the American occupation is inherited today, too.

For economic promotion, many exceptions are made.

In the prefectures, there are a lot of area companies of a company unfolding in Honshu.
