As beautiful as Okinawa can be there is a dark underground scene that everybody needs to be aware of. Drugs and prostitution is very much alive. The drugs that are here are no joke, and can be very easy to get a hold of. Okinawa has every drug that anywhere else has except that it has been tightly shielded from most of us. The consequences of being caught with any type of drug can be severe, no matter if you're military, dependent, civilian, DoDDS, or a contractor. Many "known" places that are drug related are continuously watched over by undercover Japanese police, so please everybody be safe. Knowledge is power.
