My wife and I recently moved to Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. We've seen some very nice rock while exploring the island and I know there is a small climbing community here. We would like to link up with other climbers and learn all we can about the rock and routes on the island. Whether you're currently on Okinawa or used to live here, and information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is a facebook page called "Okinawa climbing". I'm guessing since your post was from a while ago that you have already found places and people to climb with on the island. I'll be deployed there for six months in May. Any recommendations on places to go for sports climbing?

Thanks, I'll look it up. I've been so busy with work and surfing that I haven't put any time into climbing any rock, but I have been hitting the gym near my house. It's called Coral Rock. The owner is a local with a lot of knowledge about the area. I can't comment on sport routes, but the trad and bouldering here is limitless. I hope to have an answer on where the sport routes are soon. I'll let you know.
