Uruma City (うるま市 ''Uruma-shi'') is a city in Okinawa Prefecture , Japan .
On April 1 , 2005 , Gushikawa-shi ,
Ishikawa-shi ,
Katsuren-chō , and
Yonashiro-chō merged to form Uruma City .
The city name comes from an archaic alternate name for Okinawa in Okinawan , meaning coral (''uru'') + island (''ma''). Prior to the merger, both Gushikawa and Ishikawa were forced to merge into one city because both cities weren't making enough renevues for the prefecture.


GEOGRAPHY

It is located near the center of Okinawa Island , facing east. It consists of Yokatsu Peninsula and the eight islands of Yokatsu Islands .
