Why not visit Okinawa, and indeed enjoy things you like during your holidays? There is no reason not to do so, indeed!

I would suggest to stay around Tokyo your first week (perhaps have a look at Kamakura, Hakone or Nikko), take the train to the Kansai area (Kyoto, Nara, Osaka) even if you just stay there for a couple of days - at least you will have an overview of the most famous Japanese cities) - and then fly to Okinawa...

If you decide to do so, I would strongly recommend to visit the Yaeyama islands - specifically Ishigaki and Iriomote. Check on this site, there are good guides for those destinations. Iriomote is amazing, and March is definitively the low season there... you obviously will be able to enjoy the sea, too.
