It is the largest of the Okinawa Islands in the Ryukyu Islands archipelago.

"Okinawa was the scene of the last great U.S. amphibious campaign in World War II. U.S. army and marine forces landed there on Apr. 1, 1945, and fought one of the bloodiest campaigns of the war, while the navy offshore suffered heavy damage in resisting attacks by suicide planes."

Pretty good. It's nice that you got it without a hyphen, unlike mine (visit-ny.com). The only thing is, how popular is tourism to Okinawa? 'visit okinawa' in google without quotes returns 360,000 with only one side ad from TripAdvisor.com.

I think its a safe bet that its worth more than the reg fee if developed. Should easily bring in income from Travel website ads. Basically, feel the same way about mine too. Good luck.

Developed you may catch some traffic and get revenue from AdSense. I spent 6 months on Okinawa in 1988 and then 3 years from 95-98. To be honest they don't make their money from Tourism but from Pachinko (just kidding).

Thanks for the input guys.

I doubt people would go visit Okinawa as part of a package holiday plan. True, the historic importance of Okinawa and WWII is there, but the commercial value is close to zero, IMO.
