Okinawa 2nd district

Okinawa 2nd district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan (national legislature).

It is located in Okinawa Prefecture and encompasses the cities of Urasoe and Ginowan, and Nakagami District.

The significant presence of US military bases in Ginowan is regarded as a major factor contributing to the wide aversion of the local population to voting LDP candidates, who are typically pro-base.
