Place guide
Okinawa on this site means Okinawa Prefecture, an administration distributed across several island groups. It does not mean Okinawa Main Island alone.
The prefectural land total adds islands together but excludes the sea between them. Its maritime reach can look very large even though the counted land remains modest.
A fitted outline preview is not a route map. Use local island maps for distance and transport questions.
The Taiwan comparison is prefecture-to-country. Miyako and Ishigaki pages use single islands, so their figures answer a narrower question.
Neither level is inherently better. The title and source scope must match the question being asked.
