Send Flowers to Naha, Japan

Naha is the capital of Okinawa, far to the south of the main Japanese islands, and it feels different from the rest of the country in climate, food and custom. Hibiscus and bougainvillea bloom in gardens year round, and local florists work with tropical foliage and orchids alongside the usual roses and lilies.

Kokusai-dori is the main street of shops and restaurants, with the covered Makishi market just behind it. Shuri, on the hill above, was the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The monorail links the airport with the centre and Shuri, and most residents live in low concrete apartment buildings built to withstand typhoons. Many families have relatives overseas, especially in Hawaii and South America, and the American military community on the island brings orders from the United States too.

Okinawan family occasions follow their own calendar, including an Obon observed by the lunar calendar. To send flowers to Naha, order before midnight Japan time for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. Same-day, Sunday and national holiday deliveries are not offered.
