Apartments in Okinawa

Settling in Okinawa

The problem of abandoned houses in Okinawa, while not as acute as in some rural mainland regions, does exist to some extent, particularly in rural and less developed areas. For this reason, Okinawa can be a suitable option if you are looking to relocate to Japan on a budget, especially if you are open to living in rural or less densely populated areas. Okinawa, as a tourist destination, has areas with higher demand for housing, particularly in and around the capital city, Naha. However, the cost of living in general is lower than in major cities. Additionally, the prefecture's natural beauty, warm climate make it an attractive choice for newcomers.
