WELCOME TO THE MAPS OF OKINAWA, CAMPS AND STATIONS
21 March 2000


There are a couple of main roads on Okinawa...the first is Highway 58, the second is Highway 329.  There is an old saying, "that you can never get lost on Okinawa," and it  is very true.  You simply drive in one direction until you hit one of these two roads, and go left or right to get home.  All the roads begin to look the same a while.

The map to the right depicts the geographical location of Okinawa on the world map.  As you can see, Okinawa is south of mainland 
Japan.  Taiwan is to the southwest.

The map to the left shows the rear gate of Kadena, Gate 2.  A traditional place to shop for everything from clothing to china as well as general Okinawan souvenirs. Gate 2 street is a must visit spot.
The map on the right is a detailed look at Gate 2 street and Chuo Park Avenue.  Both streets have many shops to choose from.  A word of caution: shop around before you buy, the stores are competitive.

I wish to thank the "Peace Phone Services LTD" for permitting the duplication of the maps depicted above.  A great source for Okinawan information can be found in the Okinawa Yellow Pages.
