I tried googling this but I only found a few places that looked kinda sketchy. selling the car isnt an option so yeah. just curious if anyone has done this or know any companies they could recommend. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I quickly googled it and found several companies; also, if you’re moving, moving companies can arrange it as well.
Be aware that things rust something fierce on Okinawa. You will definitely want to do a thorough rust coating treatment.
Could you just catch the ferry down? I wonder if that would be cheaper than shipping it by itself.
I think you might get it thru ferry is one good option, but if you are sending all your stuff there is best to find a moving company to get all, the car included… With ferry you will need to go to Kagoshima and by there get a 25h travel by ferry… https://www.aline-ferry.com/search/detail.php
Used this company two times. Okinawa to Nagoya, and Sendai to Okinawa. As far as I know it’s the cheapest one around. You will have to take yourself the car to the port.
Don’t forget to undercoat your car if you care about it. A tiny spot of rust will turn into something ugly in a couple of months, and eventually will turn into a hole. Currently dealing with it on my car and isn’t pretty or cheap.

You may also want to try asking in /r/Osaka.
