Umikaji Terrace Okinawa
#OkinawaTourism
This spot is located on a small island called Senagajima, which can be reached in about 25 minutes by taking the Umikaji Liner bus, which departs regularly from Naha Airport.
The center of the island is a small hill, and the white shops along the slope are reminiscent of a Mediterranean resort. You can enjoy shopping, gourmet food, and sightseeing, and there are also beautiful hotels on the island.
There are various shops such as shops selling T-shirts, swimsuits, sandals, accessories, and souvenir shops. The souvenir shops in particular sell items that you won't often see elsewhere, so even regular Okinawans should check them out.
There are various shops selling gourmet food such as hamburgers, Okinawan cuisine, and shaved ice, so you can fully enjoy the resort atmosphere.
If you go down the stairs while looking at the many shops, you will find a very large square with a lawn where you can relax.
You can also go down to the sea and play in the sea on a beach that is close to nature. However, swimming is not allowed as there is no net.
Naha Airport's airport island is on the opposite shore, and you can watch planes taking off and landing. The island is close to the landing route, so you can often see planes about to land.
It's also a great spot to watch the sunset, and the beauty of the white buildings and trees dyed in orange as the sun sinks into the sea is a must-see.
It's also worth noting that there are a lot of cats. There are a lot of cats. What better words to describe the charm of this place?
Here are some things to be careful of. There are a lot of stairs, so children, people with weak legs, and people wearing shoes that are difficult to walk in should take precautions. In addition, passenger planes and Self-Defense Force fighter jets often fly close overhead, so it is a place with a lot of noise and air vibrations. If you don't like that, be careful. And on sunny days the sunlight is very strong.
