Hi Donald,

I have not been to Okinawa, but some friends of mine shared many beautiful pictures of Okinawa during their tour there. The place is scenic and the views are breathtaking!

Just a few suggestions for your writing: 

(1) We use a comma (,) when describing a location, from a specific city to a region to the country.

Example: Okinawa, Japan / Yellowknife, NWT, Canada

(2) As Okinawa is a part of Japan, we can also use the preposition "of" to express a part-whole relationship.

(3) We use "seas" in the plural form as I am referring more than one sea surrounding Okinawa (i.e. East China Sea and Philippine Sea).

(4) We use "incorporated" to mean that a region is officially assimilated as part of a country.

(5) We use "centre stage" is refer to something as the centre of attention and activity.

(6) We use the word "devastated" to refer to the destruction of a place by force. 

(7) The word "operational" means that a place is still being used for business or daily routine activities of an organisation.

(8) The word "plight" means unfortunate circumstance.

** There is no space between the last word and the full stop. Example: The Japanese . (incorrect) // The Japanese. (correct)

I hope these help.
