[2025 Onna ] Travel Guide for Blue Cave (Updated Jul)

Don't come to Okinawa anymore! After visiting Okinawa, I no longer want to go to other tropical countries. This time, I spent 5 days and 4 nights on a self-driving trip in early June. Although the time wasn't very sufficient, there were just too many places worth visiting. Okinawa feels like a destination where travelers of all types can enjoy themselves! I've marked the parking situation at the places I visited, hoping to help everyone plan their self-driving trips! 🗺【Itinerary】 Day 1: Naha City/Southern Area Senaga Island (Free parking lot) - First, I picked up the car near the airport and drove to Senaga Island. Here, a row of white houses is built along the hillside, giving off a Greek and Italian vibe. There are many restaurants offering cuisines from different countries, such as Turkish, American, and Mexican dishes. It doesn't feel like Japan at all~ I ended up choosing a sea-view restaurant to enjoy a steak meal. The scenery was so relaxing. Gyokusendo Cave (Free parking lot) - About a 30-minute drive away, you can marvel at the wonders of nature that took hundreds of thousands of years to form. The underground stalactite cave boasts over a million stalactites. The tranquil and dimly lit cave is incredibly calming. Outside, there are various Okinawan cultural displays, such as traditional musical instruments and glass-blowing performances. If you're interested in Okinawan culture, you'll likely spend a long time exploring here~ (Note: Closing time is 4:00 PM, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid missing out on key attractions.) Originally, I planned to visit the DMM Aquarium afterward, but I was too tired and decided to postpone it to the next morning. Day 2: Northern Naha DMM Aquarium (Free parking lot) - This is a new aquarium in Naha. Unlike traditional aquariums, DMM Aquarium offers semi-open pools simulating shallow seas, complete with wave sounds and lighting effects, making you feel like you're truly at the beach. Besides marine life, there are also land animal exhibits and limited feeding experiences. I tried feeding a sloth this time—it was so adorable, hanging on a tree and slowly grabbing the carrot slice. Pokemon Center (Free parking lot) - Located in Aeon Mall, the Pokemon Center needs no introduction! Although it's not as large as the one in Osaka, for a fan like me, it was enough to spend all my travel budget there! Nakagusuku Castle (Free parking lot) - The ruins of the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, located on a hill where you can overlook both the eastern and western areas. The stone-built ruins exude a strong sense of history! Shurijo Castle (Prefectural paid parking lot) - Unfortunately, the castle was previously damaged by fire, so what I saw this time was the reconstruction process. Side note: There are many cats and ducks nearby, super cute. Day 3: Northern Village/American Village Blue Cave Diving (Parking provided by the diving company) - The most recommended activity! You must go diving in Okinawa. Once underwater, you'll see tropical fish that you usually only see in movies or games. If you're not comfortable with scuba diving, snorkeling will still offer amazing views! Cape Zanpa Lighthouse (Free parking lot) - One of the few lighthouses in Japan you can climb. From the top, you can see nearly three-quarters of the view facing the sea—it's breathtaking! American Village (Both free and paid parking available, but it gets crowded starting at dusk) - The most beautiful spot! This place feels like a parallel universe, with American-style architecture and people from all over the world gathering here. After dusk, the area becomes lively, with music playing everywhere and neon lights on the buildings giving off a 70s-80s American vibe. There are also street performances and fireworks at night, making it hard to leave. Day 4: Nago City Nago Pineapple Park (Free parking lot) - A pineapple-themed botanical park, suitable for family activities. They also sell pineapple-related snacks and drinks—I regret not buying more! Churaumi Aquarium (Free parking lot) - This is probably the most famous attraction in Okinawa besides Kokusai Street. While the overall experience was good, I found DMM Aquarium's presentation more innovative and interesting. Churaumi Aquarium is often crowded, making it hard to take good photos. Some display tanks require queuing, which felt a bit congested and slightly detracted from the experience. Day 5: Okinawa's northernmost point, return car in Naha Cape Hedo - The northernmost point of Okinawa, about 50 km from Nago City. If the weather and your energy allow, it's a great spot to watch the sunrise. The eastern side is completely unobstructed, allowing you to see the sun rise from the sea horizon. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when I visited, so I could only check in without seeing the sunrise. Hopefully, someone else can witness it for me! 📍【Must-Visit Attractions】 1. Diving in Okinawa 🤿! The shallow waters here are stunningly beautiful, filled with colorful tropical fish. This time, I joined a scuba diving session with Umi Diving Company. The instructor was friendly, could communicate in English, and actively helped me adapt to the underwater environment and took photos! 2. Senaga Island - Close to the airport, the European-style architecture is perfect for photos. There are various types of restaurants, and you can watch planes take off and land. If you're lucky, you might even see fighter jets. It's recommended as the first or last stop of your trip. 3. American Village - A must-visit place that you'll never want to leave. It has various restaurants, indoor amusement parks, and beautiful architecture for photos. It's suitable for all ages. Note that it's quieter during the day, so it's best to visit around dusk. Restaurants require reservations; otherwise, you're likely to encounter full bookings. 🥘【Must-Try Food】 Okinawa Meat Shop, Nago City - A small restaurant specializing in Shabu Shabu. The prices are on the higher side, but the taste is excellent, and the portions are generous. The black wagyu beef and Agu pork are tender and not chewy. The staff patiently explains each dish and how to eat it. 🏠【Accommodation Recommendations】 1. Naha Water City - Located within a 10-minute walk from Kokusai Street, it features an infinity rooftop pool. The hotel has paid parking, making it very convenient for different types of travelers. 2. Okinawa Arena - Under VESSEL HOTELS, located in central Okinawa near the US military base. The location is ideal for self-driving trips, making it easy to explore central attractions like American Village and Nakagusuku Castle. 📣【Self-Driving Tips】 Okinawa has only one highway; the rest are regular roads with traffic lights, which may take longer to travel. It's recommended to plan your itinerary according to the route direction to avoid wasting time waiting at traffic lights.

#globaltravel Travel to Okinawa How could you not try local scuba diving? Okinawa has many very famous diving spots One of them is the famous Blue Cave The Blue Cave is located in Onna Village in central Okinawa. It is said that only Okinawa and Italy can see this kind of open blue hole The sun's rays refract into the cave Thus forming such a dreamy blue You must come here once in your life! You can choose to snorkel or dive at the Blue Grotto This time I chose deep diving Looking up from the bottom of the sea, it looks like the ocean version of the starry sky #Okinawa #Blue Cave

This is the activity I'm most looking forward to on my trip to Okinawa. I was really scared when I started diving, but once I calmed down and got used to breathing through my mouth, I gradually got better. The underwater world is really beautiful. Especially in the Blue Cave, the water is very clear, so I was able to see the schools of various fish and the beauty of the sea. Tip: The price competition for diving tours in the Blue Cave is very fierce, but it's better to check in advance whether there are any optional fees for a very low price. I used VoicePlus. He has been diving for over 20 years and is a very polite and reliable guide. The sea is dangerous, so be sure to be careful when you go. Recommended level ★★★★★ Location: Blue Cave, Onna Village, Okinawa Time required: About 2.5 hours, underwater time about 1 hour Cost: About 7,000 yen/person #trip2022 #breathtakingview

2025/06/13 When you come to Okinawa, you must experience the beautiful sea when the weather is good. In addition to swimming and sunbathing on the shore, you must find an opportunity to snorkel. I checked the Internet and found a snorkeling activity for 9xx per person (6xx or 7xx must be booked for two people at a time@@) including 20 sets of photos. I walked from Ryukyu Village to Island Club and prepared to go to the Blue Cave snorkeling! This snorkeling is considered shore snorkeling. Basically, I am fully armed (all-inclusive diving suit, shoes, frog feet, exhalation mask (you can choose a prescription)). It's very cool, just like the previous trip to Palau. It's very complete. Then I took a car to the entrance of the Blue Cave. The tour guide helped take some photos and then sent us to prepare for snorkeling! Today the sea was calm, the water was very clean, and the sea was very deep after swimming a little further, so you can see all kinds of fish of different sizes, the largest should be 40-50 cm or even more. We swam to the Blue Cave and prepared to return. The foreign tour guide also helped take photos on the way, which was very good overall👍 #Okinawa Blue Cave After snorkeling, I originally wanted to take a bus back to the American Village, but I found that the bus still had more than an hour to go, so I walked for about 6 minutes to the snorkeling place-Blue Cave (Maeda Cape)! In addition to the beautiful underwater world here, the coastline landscape is also very spectacular. Since I was wearing swimming trunks, I went down to soak in the sea water and take photos and videos happily, and then came up to walk along the coastline trail to breathe fresh air! Overall, I was very happy and satisfied, and shared the photos of the visit with everyone😉

#5月好去处2025 Okinawa is surrounded by the sea, and the tourism industry is popular, especially the diving industry is mature. You can easily find a dive shop that can communicate in the same language. Whether snorkeling or diving, it is very friendly to people who can't swim. Basically, it is a 1 to 2 teaching. Just relax and leave yourself to the instructor. The flight time from Taiwan to Okinawa is about the same as the high-speed rail journey time from Taichung to Taipei. Summer is here, come and play in the water! 🏖️ #Scuba #Blue Cave

Blue cave from shore package. The tour guide is exceptionally professional and nice. Help everyone to get their gears, soaping the goggles and safe entry to sea. Wearing fins for each individual too. Kind and patience for group with kids. Did bubble show for us few times, and even help me to find back my lost iPhone dropped in the blue cave. “Thank God”, my 2 weeks old phone and beautiful memories are save! Definitely a good experience for everyone coming to Okinawa. Self drive to Cape Maeda. Get the package from trip.com.

🌧️ Rainy Days in Okinawa – A Slow-Paced Getaway 3 Days, 2 Nights in Naha & Nearby – April2025 #travel #solo #okinawa #japan Sometimes the best trips aren’t about rushing to see everything—but about slowing down and letting the mood of the place soak in (along with a bit of rain). Okinawa surprised me with its relaxed charm, even under gray skies. ⸻ Day 1 – Arrival & Chilling Around Naha I arrived in the evening and checked into Grand Cabin Hotel Naha. It’s a compact and clean place, perfect for solo travelers or anyone just needing a base to rest. Since it was already dark and drizzling, I didn’t go far. Instead, I wandered a bit near the hotel—just enough to breathe in the warm island air and get a taste of local life. The streets were quiet, the sound of rain soft on the pavement. Peaceful start. ⸻ Day 2 – Umikaji Terrace & Okinawa Monorail Adventure Despite the rain, I started the day with a trip to Umikaji Terrace. The white buildings with a seaside view were beautiful even with clouds above—kind of like a Mediterranean vibe but with an Okinawan twist. I grabbed a coffee and just watched the waves roll in. Not much else was needed. Next, I hopped on the 1-day Okinawa Monorail Pass—a fun and easy way to explore the city without getting soaked. I stopped at various stations just to look around, but the highlight was Shurijo Castle Park. Although most of the main structures were still under reconstruction after the fire, the park area was beautiful and full of history. With fewer people due to the weather, it felt more personal, like walking through memories of a kingdom. ⸻ Day 3 – Local Flavors & Seaside Chill Started with a visit to Makishi Public Market. It’s a great spot to see Okinawan ingredients and grab a meal upstairs—you can pick your seafood downstairs and they cook it for you! I had fresh sashimi and Okinawan-style pork—so flavorful and comforting on a rainy day. Later, I took a bus ride out to American Village, which felt like stepping into a completely different world. Quirky shops, cafes, and murals everywhere. I didn’t shop much—just wandered, got a snack, and then strolled by the beach. The sky was still moody, but walking along the quiet shore was the perfect slow moment. ⸻ Nights in Naha – Rainy Walks & Shopping Streets Every night, I headed out to the shopping street in Naha (Kokusai Dori). Even with the rain, the street was lively with locals and tourists dodging puddles, eating street food, and browsing souvenir shops. I got a few gifts, snacked on sata andagi (Okinawan doughnuts), and just enjoyed the atmosphere. The rhythm of the rain made it feel extra cozy. ⸻ Final Thoughts Okinawa in the rain might not be full of sun-soaked beaches, but it offers something just as special—a slower pace, a warm heart, and small moments that stay with you. If you’re ever caught in Okinawa with gloomy weather, don’t rush. Let the island’s relaxed energy lead the way.

I experienced snorkeling for the first time when I went to Okinawa! The location was the Blue Cave. It was deeper than I thought, but you wear a snorkeling jacket so it's no problem even if you can't swim. The fish are friendly and don't run away, so you can see them so close you could almost grab them! If you have a chance to go to Okinawa, this is a spot I definitely recommend! #0yentravelautumn #Okinawa #snorkeling

## Sign up for September hotel sleeper Today I booked a snorkeling trip to Blue Cave There are two beautiful Cantonese-speaking coaches who go to sea with the team to take care of the four of us, which makes me doubly reassured, because the two daughters have not played always a bit worried, if the Japanese chicken and duck talk do not know what to do However, once in the water the coach said that the two daughters are so familiar with the water just watch the mother can 🤣🤣, and the father 👨🏻 took the least photos because he often floated to see the fish 🐠🐟 The sea and caves are really beautiful and clear, the natural blue light emitted by the caves praises the magic of nature, the colorful corals are huge, and many colorful fish, absolutely shocked my eyes The two coaches also took a lot of photos for us The experience was memorable and enjoyable And the two daughters were really clever and brave this time Super enjoyed this event

Fun diving at S.E.P Marine Club in Onna Village The instructors are friendly and best of all, they use their own boats, which gives you a sense of privacy for the same price as other shared diving shops. I've dived with other shops a few times, but this was the best diving I've ever had. I'll dive in Onna Village here again 👌 #diving #S.E.P Marine Club #Blue Cave #Okinawa #Onna Village

This time we chose chill dive, they provide services in Japanese, English and Chinese. Although we couldn't find their location when we arrived, they waited for us patiently. The coach was a cute girl who took us to dive into the 40-meter-deep blue hole. For our first time diving, we felt like we were taught in a small class, which gave us an inexplicable sense of security (although we are good swimmers, right?). There was definitely a lot of training beforehand, so if you have been to the Blue Hole, I recommend this shop! ! ! #BlueGate #BlueGate #Chilldive #Spring and Summer Destinations

Diving in the Blue Cave is so beautiful 😻
