Here are some random tid bits about the island:
Okinawa is 67 miles long. It is 17 miles wide at the widest point and 2 miles wide at the narrowest.
Naha (the capital) is the largest city. Urasoe is second. Ginowan City is third. Then, I believe it's Okinawa City and then Nago.
There are 1.3 million people living on Okinawa. There are 100,000 people that live on the other inhabited islands of the Ryukyu Island chain.
1% of the population of Japan lives on Okinawa.
There is one vending machine for every 7 people. They are everywhere!!
It is next to impossible to find a trash can out in town. Somehow the cities remain super clean.
Speaking of vending machines, you will never find this in the states. A BEER vending machine!
