<Venue>
Okinawa Island is one of the most unspoiled resorts in Japan. It is
surrounded by coral reefs and beautiful beaches and proud of its unique
culture. Bankoku Shinryo-kan is located near Nago City, along the west
coast of central Okinawa Island, offering the best views of the ocean where
the G8 Summit meeting was held in July 2000. For more than 600 years, since
the age of the Ryukyu Kingdom before Okinawa became a part of Japan, it has
a history of international relations through trade with China, Korea and
Southeast Asia. "Bankoku Shinryo (万国津梁)" was inscribed on a bell that
hung in the state chamber of Shuri Castle, where capital of Ryukyu Kingdom
was located, and means "a bridge to all nations". It reflects the spirit of
Ryukyu ancestors who sailed their ships far and wide, as if crossing
bridges, to neighboring countries. The average maximum and minimum
temperature in mid-December is 21.5C and 14.0C, respectively. The contact
