Enjoy a relaxing 6-day, 5-night trip to Okinawa

Okinawa consists of the main island and many outlying islands. On the main island, other than a single monorail line, transportation mainly relies on buses🚌 or taxis🚕. However, taxis are relatively expensive (starting fare is 550 yen for the first 1750 meters, then 70 yen for every subsequent 372 meters, and when traveling at speeds lower than 10km/h, an additional 70 yen is charged every 2 minutes and 15 seconds). For buses, some routes have long intervals between services, so it's recommended to confirm arrival times in advance (plan your trip with Google Maps). Therefore, it's personally recommended to join a tour group when visiting attractions in the southern or northern parts of the island. D1: Arrive in Okinawa It's suggested to choose accommodations near a monorail station. D2: Day trip to the South Cape Chinen (where you can see the colorful waters of the Pacific Ocean), Okinawa World (which includes Gyokusendo Cave, well worth a visit), and Senaga Island (where you can watch planes✈️ take off and land up close). Since attractions are relatively scattered, it's advised to join a tour group. D3: Day trip to the outlying islands You can choose between the Kerama Islands or Tokashiki Island. On the outlying islands, you can arrange your day with various activities, stroll on the beach, or walk through country lanes. D4: Day trip to the North Recommended attractions: Manzamo, Ocean Expo Park (which is really large, with Emerald Beach, the beautiful Churaumi Aquarium, and dolphin shows), and Kouri Island. It's suggested to join a day tour as attractions are quite spread out. Chartering a car is much more expensive compared to joining a tour, but it allows for a more flexible schedule. D5: Whale watching at sea The best time is from January to February. Join a local tour, with options for morning or afternoon sessions. It's personally recommended to choose the morning session. This way, you can return to the hotel at noon and spend the afternoon visiting places like Shuri Castle and Naminoue Beach. D6: Return trip home The above is based on personal travel experience and is for reference only. Itineraries can be arranged according to personal preferences. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message. Thank you☺️
