| A complete guide to Japan’s hidden gems. Everyone, do you always want to avoid the crowds, find a small and fun place, and have a good time? Today I’m going to dig up a treasure for you - Ginowan City👏 in the central part of Okinawa Island, Japan. It is about 10 kilometers northeast of Naha City. It has beautiful scenery, few people, and many ways to play. Let’s follow the guide and set off! 🚗How to get to Ginowan ✈️ We have to fly to Okinawa Naha Airport first. After getting off the plane, if we want to get to Ginowan quickly, we can just take a taxi. It takes about 30 minutes to get there. The fare is a bit high, but it is convenient. If you want to save some money, you can also take bus No. 120 directly. It is a leisurely journey and you can also enjoy the scenery outside the window, which is quite relaxing. Once you arrive in Ginowan City, you can take the bus to many major attractions. If you want more freedom, you can rent an electric bicycle and go wherever you want. The sea breeze is blowing, and the feeling is so refreshing 😎. 🏠Where to stay for comfort 👉Okinawa Prince Ginowan Ocean View Hotel: Ladies and Gentlemen, staying here is like living in a painting😍! The room faces the sea and has a terrace. When you open your eyes in the morning, you can see the beautiful sea view.

During the day, you can also go to the infinity pool or the outdoor rooftop pool to soak or swim. This little life is so carefree. 👉Moon Ocean Ginowan Hotel Apartment: The rooms here are very spacious.

That night, 10,000 fireworks exploded over the Pacific Ocean, and there was a music and light show on the sea. The scene was so romantic that it could make people cry. It's super relaxing to come here for a picnic or a walk, and you can spend a whole day here. 👉Futenmangu Shrine: This is the only shrine in Ginowan City and one of the Eight Shrines of Ryukyu. Its architectural style is very unique. Come here to experience the Japanese shrine culture and make a wish. It is said to be very effective. You may as well give it a try. 👉The stone lions of Xiyouming: The stone lions here are of different shapes and cute. They are especially good for taking photos📷. While taking photos, you can also learn about the stories behind them, which is super interesting. 🍱What to eat 👉Steak: Go to "Myhouse" and order a 200g steak. It's sizzling and fragrant right after it's served. Paired with mustard (wasabi) and salt, the beef is very tender and juicy, and tastes amazing👍. 👉Okinawa stir-fry: This is a local signature dish. Vegetables, meat and noodles are stir-fried together in a pan, and the aroma is overflowing. Go into any small restaurant and you will find that the food here tastes great and you are guaranteed to not go for the bad ones. 👉Natural yeast bread: Don’t miss the handmade bread from Munakata-do, which has a unique taste and is filled with the aroma of wheat. With a cup of strong coffee, sit in the shop and enjoy this moment of tranquility, it is so relaxing. 📌Some small reminders Everyone, remember to bring a conversion plug when you go to Japan. They have two flat sockets there, so don't be anxious when your electrical appliances don't work. Also, tickets for attractions and hotels must be booked online in advance, which can save you a lot of trouble. If you go to a fireworks display in April, don't forget to bring a windproof jacket. The sea breeze is a bit strong, so don't catch a cold. Okay, everyone, don’t say anything else, pack your bags quickly, and head to Ginowan to start a romantic and healing journey💕.
