flickr (Yahoo) don't provide even street level map of Okinawa/Japan due to business reasons, so you cannot get the very exact location on flickr map.
There are a couple of ways to geotag flickr photos and map them out on Google Maps, but this easy 4 steps below are what I am mainly doing for now....
1) Get geotag code -
Go to this website - flickr geotagr : www.beeloop.com/maps/flickr_geotagr.php
...and navigate the map down to house level where you want to geotag (have to travel from Europe though), then copy "geotagged geo:lat=26.****** geo:lon=127.*****" on the right side window ("Copy to Flickr's tags:").
2) Putting geotag codes on flickr photo(s) -
click on "Add a tag" on flickr photo page, and paste them plus "geo:tool=yuancc" into field, then click on "ADD" (each tags should be separated by space).
** Using flickr Organizer is much easier to geotag same location to multiple photos - click "Organize" on flickr photo page, drag photos into "Batch Organize" area, then choose "Add Tags" menu.
** You can add location into your photos description by using "Copy to Flickr's description:" window of geotagr to let viewers simply jump to Google Maps.
3) Navigate on Yuan CC Maps.
Go to Yuan CC maps at maps.yuan.cc/flickr/earthhopper/ (replace "earthopper" in this URL to your flickr ID or screen name) see photos on Google Maps.
4) Import into flickr map
Go to www.flickr.com/account/geo/import/ , everytime after you add geotagged photos on flickr, then click on "IMPORT AWAY!!", then your photos will appear on map below and searchble from other users.
flickr.com/photos/earthhopper/map/
(again replace "earthopper" to your flickr ID or screen name)
-----------------------------------------------------------
After geotaged your flickr photos, If you want to see your recent flickr photos on Google Maps, it's easy.
1) Go to your flickr photostream page (like my page, and then you can do specific tag search like this).
2) Copy link URL of "feed" icon (orange color) in the bottom of the page.
3) Go to Google Maps, and paste it into search field, then add "&georss=true" at the end, then click on "Search Maps"
Then result is like this (this photo), or specific photo with tag search result.
Unfortunately each photo is displayed twice on map, but hopely either flickr or Google would to fix this someday...
Additionally, if you use Firefox browser, you can use Yuan's GMiF 4.1 Extension to display Google Maps right on the flickr page (without putting Google Maps location links on each photo's description), but this is not for everybody...

If you want to make a customized map, Google My map is very useful. You'll need a (free) Google account to do this...

You can just place flickr photo and link it to flickr photo page in the baloon, like this.
The GoogleMapsEditor, the tool I use for Okinawa Soba Map is Japanese only, unfortunately, but you can make English map like this if you can read Japanese on the software...

BTW this "US Bases in Okinawa" map is way outdated as I made this for testing this tool itself a couple of years ago...
