Thanks :) This is not the official geographical name of this region. Okinawa and the surrounding islands are sometimes called Japanese Hawaii. They are at the same latitude as Hawaii. In addition, Okinawa belonged to the United States from 1945 to 1972, and now there is an American military base. There are many American restaurants and as I wrote in the article - Hawaiian shirts with exotic flowers are popular here etc. There are many similarities.
