2025 Chatan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#9月好去地方2025 Address: 8-6 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115 I really like the Beach Tower Okinawa Hotel. The free parking is ample, and the rooms have great ocean views. We booked a large room, which was spacious enough for unpacking two pieces of luggage. There's also a terrace with views of Kaiyang Ocean and the American Village. The large bed was comfortable, though the pillows were a bit soft. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service. Amenities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, cotton swabs, cotton pads, and razors are available for pick-up in the lobby near the elevator. The hotel is right across from the beach, about a 5-minute walk from the American Village, and a 1-minute drive from the Aeon Supermarket, making it very convenient.

The first time I visited, I was speechless by the stunning scenery. Hidden away on the Onna coast, [BANTA CAFE] is a natural oceanfront theater. ✨ Sipping coffee while enjoying the sea breeze and watching the sun slowly sink into the water, the atmosphere is incredibly romantic, and any corner is perfect for taking photos. 👍 Sitting on the cliffside while enjoying a coffee, you can take in the sunset without a second thought. 👉 The open seating overlooks the vast ocean, a truly relaxing experience. 👉 At sunset, the golden light shines directly onto the water, creating a scene straight out of anime. 👉 There's a wide selection of drinks and delicious desserts, but the view is the ultimate winner! 👉 Many people come specifically to take photos of the sunset and Instagram photos, so it's recommended to reserve a seat early! Sharing some personal photography and practical tips: 📍 Location: BANTA CAFE (near Cape Manza, Onna Village, navigation available) 🕐 Hours: 10:00 AM - After sunset, most crowded in the evening 📸 Photo Tip: Sit on the high chairs closest to the sea for a stunning silhouette shot with the sea and sky blending into the background. 🚗 Parking is convenient, allowing you to visit Cape Manza and the Blue Caves along the way. ✨ Churaumi Aquarium ✨ Kouri Island (Heart-Shaped Rock + Kouri Pagoda) ✨ Cape Manza ✨ American Village

The American Village is indeed unique. Authentic American burgers, country style, high-calorie milkshake desserts You can enjoy the coastal scenery next to the American Village, and the breeze is blowing, which is a cool afternoon leisure time The retro shops are also full of American country flavor, with all kinds of retro souvenirs. It is definitely easy to pick a few

📍Overview of the trip 🚩Travel route - We rented a car, so the route is uncertain and changes according to the situation. We focused on choosing places that are close to each other. We drove out of the city every day, but came back to stay in Naha every night. 🏖️ Must-visit attractions - Kokusai-dori Street. Anyone who comes to Okinawa must visit. There are a lot of restaurants and souvenir shops. 🚇How to get there - Rent a car, the price is not expensive. 📷Photo spot - A&W Makiminato, very vintage. This is the most favorite spot of the whole trip. 🍜Recommended food - Beef O, Yakiniku steak 🏠Recommended accommodation - I highly recommend Naha West Inn Hotel. The accommodation is very good. The room is large. You can easily open a 28-inch suitcase. There is also the hotel's own parking lot (free of charge if it is not full). There is a small convenience store across the street. Walk a little bit and there is a Lawson. 💡Precautions - If you rent a car, be careful when driving and be careful of pedestrians crossing the road. Traffic lights too And bring some cash with you. #japan #okinawa #okinawatrip #traveljapan

Mihama American Village in Chatan Town is a popular destination for many visitors to Okinawa. 🇺🇸 The blue sky and sea during the day are amazing, but the real charm of this town begins after the sun goes down. Even after you've dropped off your luggage at your hotel in Naha, don't hesitate to visit. It's a different world full of light and color, as if you've wandered into a theme park or movie set overseas. 🌉 ✨ Corners of the town that shine at night American Village at night shows a completely different look than during the day. When the neon signs are lit up and the buildings are lit up, the whole town becomes a giant illumination. [Back alleys like a theme park] The brick-paved alleys and the arches of Depot Island Station, which imitates a retro station. No matter where you look, you'll see picturesque scenery, and just walking around will make you excited. [Christmas is open all year round]🎄 "Christmas Land" welcomes you with a giant mechanical doll. It's a fun spot where you can immerse yourself in the glittering world of Christmas at any time, regardless of the season. [Exciting neon signs] 💫⚡️ The neon signs of edgy shops, such as "#FR2 Ume", also add an accent to the night city. This city is not only cute, but also has an exciting side to it. If you get tired of walking, take a break at a cafe or bar along the sea. The night view while feeling the sea breeze is sure to become a wonderful memory! ! 🚗 [Complete guide] Access from Naha city You may think, "It's a little far from Naha?", but it's surprisingly easy to access! You can enjoy it even at night. Rental car (highly recommended!) 🔥 Just head north on National Route 58 from Naha city. It's a comfortable drive that takes about 30 to 40 minutes to arrive, almost a single road. There are many large free parking lots, so you don't have to worry about finding a parking spot. Local bus🚎 Take buses such as [20, Nago West Line] or [120, Nago West Airport Line] from Naha Bus Terminal (directly connected to Asahibashi Station). Get off at the "Kuwae" or "Mihama American Village Entrance" bus stop. The journey takes about 40 to 60 minutes and costs around 800 yen. Taxi🚕 It takes about 30 to 40 minutes from Naha city and the fare is approximately 4,000 to 5,000 yen. It is an option if you are traveling in a group. The bustle during the day is nice, but the true value of this town is at night. If you visit Okinawa, be sure to take a night drive and be enchanted by the magic of this extraordinary space. #AmericanVillage #OkinawaTrip #Chatan #DepotIsland #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaNight #NightView #OkinawaDrive #OkinawaPhotogenic #OkinawaNightlife #NationalRoute58 #FR2Plum #ChristmasLand

The American Village is a must-visit every time you go to Okinawa. There are different experiences in the afternoon and evening. If you plan to come in the morning or afternoon, you can sit in the tavern on the coast, eat something small, chat or watch the sunset. If you plan to stay nearby, you can stay until the evening. The brightly lit American Village is really beautiful. There are many delicious foods and small shops. It is a good place to take pictures. 👍 I strongly recommend everyone to come and experience the Japanese version of American style❤️ #Okinawa Attractions #American Village #Okinawa #Okinawa Tourism #Okinawa Must Visit

Step into Okinawa's American Village and feel like you've fallen into a time warp!

#Okinawa Travel It is recommended to sit by the window on the plane, because you will see many small islands when you are close to Okinawa, and the ocean with different depths of diving is very beautiful! This article is based on the itinerary at the time. I only recommend the attractions I think are good. I went straight from the bottom to the top and then went back all the way to the airport (by car). I am lazy and did not go to some check-in attractions that only have one angle. 👉🏻The first one is the American Village. Since it was already afternoon when I got off the plane, I chose to take a short rest + stroll around. As soon as I entered the American Village, I really felt like I had left Japan! ? I quickly went back to the hotel, put on makeup and changed clothes, and came out to take a lot of photos. It looked better in the afternoon and evening when the lights were on. There were many things to visit nearby, but the main thing was to eat! 👉🏻The next day, I went straight to the aquarium at the top. As soon as I came in, I ran to book a seat at the restaurant next to the fish tank, and then strolled around slowly (it took almost 40 minutes to get my number). The aquarium is quite large, but except for the main hall, the others are a bit weak. The turtle hall and the dolphin hall are semi-outdoor. I didn’t stay for long because it was exposed to the sun and hot at the end, but the turtle is really big. 👉🏻Yuquan Cave, there is also a snake house + other small animal houses in Yuquan Cave, but I personally recommend Yuquan Cave + Bat House. 🦇 The whole walk of Yuquan Cave takes about an hour. It is very dark down there and it will be very wet all the way. Don't wear long skirts/pants or equipment that drags on the ground. It looks good to the naked eye but the road is too small to take photos. Just record the beautiful scenery~ 👉🏻Haminoue Shrine, a place to see the sea, the route is a bit complicated but worth taking pictures, the sea is very clear, there are restaurants nearby, you can eat while watching the sea, a perfect end to the #Okinawa tour🔚

Enjoy a few days of slow living in the Jelly Sea Village. 📍Okinawa Here’s a four-day, three-night travel guide for you: day1️⃣✈️ 1.5h ➡️ Okinawa Arrive in Okinawa around noon and head to Naha city center. In the afternoon, take a stroll along Kokusai Street in the city center. Seafood lovers should check out the Makishi Public Market 🐟— it’s affordable and delicious. (Note: The market starts closing around 5 PM.) day2️⃣ Island hopping 🚢 Naha ➡️ Tokashiki Island Depart from Naha Port at 9 AM for Tokashiki Island (🕐 40 minutes). The island offers various water activities and stunningly blue waters. There are many small beaches for snorkeling, island exploring, and swimming. Snorkeling shops on the island can take you out for a snorkeling tour 🤿. There’s also an observation deck on the mountain, which takes about an hour round trip and is great for hiking. 📒 Tips: Be sure to book the fast ferry in advance. You’ll need your reservation number to pick up tickets on-site. Without a reservation, fast ferry tickets may not be available, and the slower ferry takes over an hour. day3️⃣ Tokashiki Island ➡️ Naha Return to Naha in the morning and visit American Village in the afternoon. Don’t miss the sunset at American Village—it’s incredibly atmospheric. The entire village has a Hawaiian vibe, with hidden Pokémon-themed spots and a variety of American and Korean cuisine. On Saturday nights, there are fireworks at American Village, so be sure to catch them. Recommended restaurant: Hokai Sushi Conveyor Belt Sushi. day4️⃣ ✈️ Heading home Spend the morning shopping for souvenirs before heading to the airport. There’s a famous ramen shop in Naha city center that serves beef bone ramen—it’s worth a try if you have time. 🦈 Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium For those who prefer not to go island hopping, you can visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium instead. Check out the giant whale shark featured in Crayon Shin-chan. The aquarium is quite far from Naha city center, taking about three hours to reach, so plan your time accordingly. 🏝️ Overall, Okinawa is a super relaxing destination. Restaurants, public transportation, and service industries tend to close early, making it perfect for slow living and casual exploring.

Okinawa self-driving tour We have arranged to stay in American Village for one night The sunset in American Village is very romantic. The restaurants nearby are great. It's very lively at night, a feeling of a city that never sleeps There are few tourists during the day and it is very leisurely to walk along the coastal trail. You can also take big photos! Just in time for the POKÉGENIC craze It's really novel and fun to follow the children to find Pokémon along the way❤️ Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Butterfree, the kids also got to know many new characters Although POKÉGENIC has ended in 2025/03, what a pity🥹 But all we have left are beautiful memories If you have the chance, go explore American Village! #OkinawaTravel #AmericanMura #POKÉGENIC #AmericanMuraChristmasLand #ChatanCho

Okinawa soul food "Pork and egg onigiri" A simple onigiri with spam and egg. In Okinawa, you can find it at any convenience store or bento shop. Popular specialty store [Po Tama] sells this soul food with various ingredients. There are five stores on the main island of Okinawa. It is a popular store with tourists, so there are often lines at all stores all day. It is also located in the domestic arrivals lobby of Naha Airport, so there may be some people who have waited in the line at least once, or some people who have given up on the line. So, here is a hidden gem that I would like to recommend. [Naha Airport International Food Court Store] Po Tama's popularity has not yet spread to foreigners, so there are few lines and it is recommended. The international food court is on the 4th floor of the international terminal. At the end of my trip to Okinawa, I bought a Po Tama at the international food court after checking my luggage and ate it on the plane. If you come to Okinawa, you should definitely try this onigiri at least once. [Po-Tama International Food Court Store] Address: 150 Kagamizu, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, Naha Airport International Passenger Terminal Building, 4F Food Court Opening hours: 7:00-21:00 Parking: Available #Domestic Travel Strategy #Domestic Travel #Okinawa #Okinawa Travel #Okinawa Tourism #Okinawa Gourmet #Po-Tama #Pork and Egg Onigiri
