DNA is the airport code for Kadena, on the island of Okinawa in the far south of Japan, in the Ryukyu island chain. The code is associated with Kadena Air Base, a large United States military air base, and the airfield here is a military one rather than a civilian passenger airport; travelers to Okinawa use Naha Airport, the island's main civilian gateway to the south. Okinawa itself is a subtropical island quite different from mainland Japan, known for its warm climate, white-sand beaches, coral reefs and turquoise sea, its distinctive Ryukyuan culture, cuisine and music, and its poignant Second World War history, including the Battle of Okinawa. It is one of Japan's most popular beach and diving destinations. Okinawa is reached by flights into Naha Airport from Tokyo and other cities. The climate is warm and subtropical, with a hot, humid summer and a typhoon season.
