Chatan, Coastal district in Nakagami, Japan
The western coast of Chatan extends along the East China Sea, featuring limestone hills in the east and low-lying areas near the shore.
Before World War II, Chatan gained recognition for its extensive rice production, with vast paddies that locals called Chatan taa-bukkwa in Okinawan language.
Eight designated cultural monuments grace Chatan, including the traditional Chatan Uchinā-yā residence and multiple sacred locations within Chatan Gusuku.
Four elementary schools, two junior high schools, and one senior high school serve the educational needs of Chatan's 28,578 residents.
Military installations cover 53.5 percent of Chatan's total land area, creating a distinct environment where Japanese and American influences meet.
