HGVC Okinawa Japan on website

Although resort is not open for reservations, you can see photo renderings and info about the new resort. No points chart yet. Looking forward to a new destination.

I spent a lot of time in Okinawa while in the Navy. I don’t think it is worth that long flight to go there. So much more to do in Tokyo or other parts of Japan.

Agree that's a long way to go for a beach. Might be worth a few days if heading to Tokyo or beyond. This will offer a closer beach option for their Asian owners. This should take some pressure off of the Hawaii properties for reservations.

@tompalm They classify the iisland weather as "subtropical." Any thoughts on what that means weatherwise? Is it humid? hot? Does it get cold in the winter?

The weather is a lot like south Florida. I grew up in West Palm Beach and it is about the same. The winter weather can be nice and summer hot and humid.
