| Pursue the dreamy pastel blues and lose yourself in this oceanic paradise. Immerse in Okinawa's iconic multi-layered turquoise waters and pristine beaches while experiencing Ryukyu culture and island slow living. Accommodation Suggestions First two nights: Northern coast (e.g., Nago City) for easy access to Ocean Expo Park and northern islands. Third night: Onna Village coastline (central) to enjoy resort stays with breathtaking sea views. Day 1: Arrive in Okinawa & Embrace the Northern Emerald Sea Morning: Arrive at Naha Airport, rent a car (recommended) or take an airport bus to your Nago City hotel. Afternoon: Explore Kouri Island Drive across Kouri Bridge flanked by sapphire-blue waters. Head straight to Heart Rock—wade through crystal shallows where jade-green waters deepen into cobalt, feeling cool sand between your toes. Dine at an island seafood restaurant with ocean views. Evening: Check into a northern hotel with sea views to watch the sunset melt into emerald waters. Day 2: Marine Encounters & Island Escapades Morning: Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium & Ocean Expo Park Stand before the massive "Kuroshio Sea" tank as whale sharks and manta rays glide through indigo depths. Stroll the park’s free areas—Emerald Beach’s powder-white sand meets waters that shift from mint to navy like a painter’s palette. Afternoon: Kerama Islands Hopping Take a high-speed ferry from Tomari Port to Tokashiki or Zamami Island. Aharen Beach (Tokashiki) or Furuzamami Beach: Snorkel in translucent aquamarine waters teeming with coral and tropical fish (glass-bottom boat tours recommended). Evening: Return to Naha, then settle at an Onna Village seaside resort to sleep to the sound of waves.

Visit the Blue Cave at Cape Maeda, where sunlight pierces through to create ethereal azure pillars (tide-dependent). Evening: Kokusai-dori Stroll Return to Naha for souvenir shopping and Okinawan cuisine (sea grapes, Ishigaki beef, awamori liquor). Day 4: Farewell to the Blue Morning: Senagajima Umikaji Terrace Sip coffee at a cliffside café overlooking the pastel-blue East China Sea, watching planes ascend against the horizon. Afternoon: Head to Naha Airport for departure, carrying memories of Okinawa’s unforgettable seascapes. Travel Tips: Transport: Rent a car for northern exploration; check ferry schedules for island hopping. Sun Protection: High-SPF sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are essential. Gear: Bring snorkeling equipment, a waterproof camera, and polarized lenses for vivid ocean colors. Season: Best from April–October; July–August offer warmest waters but crowds. Though brief, four days in Okinawa will etch its crystalline blues into your memory—an everlasting dreamscape of liquid sapphire.

#Domestic hotel review I stayed at [YAWN YARD Kouri Island] on my trip to Okinawa. I stayed in a room called Hill 1. You can see the ocean from a small hill. The roof of the big room in front of you gives you a great view 😭, so if you're staying there, I recommend the building called Sea ♪ I'd like to stay at Sea next time too 🥰 However, the Hill room is on a small hill, so it seems that the starry sky is beautiful ♪ When I made the reservation, there was almost no information, so I didn't know what the view from the room was 😂 But the room was stylish and nice. It seems to be based on a traditional Okinawan house, and there was a balcony with a pool, a bathroom, and a Japanese-style room around a small garden ♪ The bath and pool are designed so that you can go back and forth directly, and you can go into the bath after going into the pool, which is a great flow! You have to go out of the room to go to the balcony, pool, toilet, etc., but there is a roof so you don't have to worry about getting wet! I'm also happy that the pool is always heated to 30 degrees ☺️ I forgot my swimsuit and couldn't go in 😭 Next time I'd like to go in with a swimsuit 🫶 I'm also happy that the breakfast obanzai is served by the pool and brought to the room ☺️ The staff are all kind and told me about various recommended spots in Okinawa 🫶 Amenities include lotion, cleansing, shampoo, treatment, and face wash! There was also coffee and Okinawan tea bags ♪ 📍 YAWN YARD Kouri Island 1792-1 Kouri, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-0406 ●Check-out time: ~11:00●Meals: Breakfast included●Room: (hill) King (whole building rental) x 1 room●Number of guests: 2 adults #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaVilla #yawnyard

#1月好去地方2025 On Kouri Island in northern Okinawa, drive across the Kouri Bridge, where the sea and sky meet, and arrive at the island's highest point, the Kouri Ocean Tower. The four-story white tower stands on the hillside. Climbing the tower gives you a commanding view, with a bird's eye view of the Kouri Bridge from the best angle. You need to buy a ticket to enter the Ocean Tower. The on-site ticket is ¥1,000. It is more cost-effective to buy it online or buy a combined ticket. The biggest selling point should be experiencing the driverless park car, which drives slowly uphill all the way. Because it drives slowly, you can also enjoy the scenery and plants along the way, which is quite interesting. The Ocean Tower consists of a gift shop, a shell museum and an observation deck, with indoor and rooftop areas for viewing and taking photos. The souvenir shop has everything, and you can buy all the souvenirs of Okinawa. In short, it is just a small attraction for family relaxation. However, the Kouri Bridge is very beautiful when the weather is good, and the sea and sky are very beautiful for taking pictures. It is better to find a coffee shop to stare at the sea and chill. #Okinawa Travel #Kouri Island #Kouri Ocean Tower

A breathtaking cafe overlooking Unten Port. Each photo spot, inspired by Bali, Hawaii, and Mexico, is incredibly well-crafted! The birdcage, in particular, was super cute. I went there for a meal, but it seems that the menu was completely different when my friend went in September compared to when I went in October. The Spam Bake Bowl I had was a bowl with avocado, grilled spam, and macaroni. There was also a free water dispenser inside the cafe. 【CASA SOL】 〒905-0412 Okinawa Prefecture, Kunigami District, Nakijin Village, Yagawa 661

After the pool, we relaxed in the quiet room. The bed was so fluffy that we stayed in the room the whole time. At night, we went to the private beach to see the stars. The stars you see in Okinawa are really beautiful~🌠 After stargazing, we went to the jacuzzi on the terrace of our room🛁 The Nakijin area is great because there aren't many people and you can relax~☺️ Check-in: 15:00~Check-out: ~11:00 📍506-1 Unten, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefectureㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ #Nakijin #100TravelStyle #FuriTabi #Travel #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaHotel #Villa #HotelWithPool #Okinawa #Hotel

The handmade treehouse 'Mori no Subako' was built over more than 10 years 🏠 Only one group per day can enjoy the breathtaking view and relax 😌 Surrounded by nature, it truly feels like a 'hidden retreat,' which is very exciting. The hotel's notice states, 'Please be aware that insects may enter the room.' I saw some bugs that I've never seen outside of Okinawa and screamed a bit, but it was all part of the fun of experiencing 'the summer' in a treehouse. There is also a café next door and a reservation-only sauna. 🧖 Check-in: 15:00, Check-out: 11:00 📍 699 Wakugawa, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture (1.5-hour drive from Naha Airport, 13 minutes to Kouri Island)

If you want to go on vacation to a place that is not far away, has mountains and sea, and has fewer tourists than other places in Japan, it only takes 1.5 hours to fly directly from Shanghai and Taipei. Okinawa, an island full of delicious food, is known as the Oriental Hawaii. It is definitely a good choice for chilling 💕 ✈️The best travel period is the spring period from March to May when it is not too hot, and the peak season from June to October when it is a leisurely and pleasant holiday season, which is very suitable for advanced divers or novices to play in the water 😅, satisfying all your imaginations of island fun! 🧳Simple itinerary: Choose a hotel after arriving at Naha Airport. Okinawa is long and narrow from north to south, so it is recommended to stay in the central part for easy access. D1: (Onna Village) Manzamo-Churaumi Aquarium-Kouri Island D2: American Village - Naha - Senaga Island - Peace Memorial Park - Shuri Castle D3: Cape Zanpa - Ryukyu Village - Aikuiroque Church - Buse D4: Eat, drink, shop and go shopping at International Pass, and go home satisfied! ✔️If you have a bigger budget, you can arrange an outlying island (Zamami Island) for whale watching/snorkeling/stand-up paddleboarding ✔️Recommended family tour routes: Underwater Observation Tower of Sea Park-Glass Boat of Sea Park-Children's Kingdom-Fruit Kingdom-Pineapple Garden Train-Churayama Aquarium 【Recommended popular attractions】 🌟American Village: Exotic atmosphere, many specialty shops to shop at, and you can also take a Ferris wheel to overlook the beautiful scenery 🌟Manzamo: Elephant Trunk Cliff, one of the must-see attractions in Okinawa 🌟Hana no Nami Beach: Watch the beautiful sunrise and sunset 🌟Namijo Shrine: Close to Namijo Beach, the scenery standing on the cliff is unforgettable. It is the closest shrine to the city of Naha and the beach. 🌟Senaga Island: Known as Little Greece, it is a great place for photo taking 🌟Kouri Island: Okinawa's version of Adam and Eve, the island of love 🌟Taketomi Island: Experience Sabani Sailing at Kondoi Beach 🌟Churaumi Aquarium: The world's second largest marine park (where is the first) 【Food Recommendation】 ✔️Ryukyu Beef: The local Ishigaki beef tastes good and is cost-effective. The restaurant is very popular and requires reservations in advance. You can also try Ryukyu cuisine and the special sea salt ice cream. ✔️Century Old House Okinawa Noodles: A century-old house hidden in the mountains of American Village, specializing in a variety of exquisite Agu pork dishes ✔️FIFI PARLOR: I like this sea view cafe very much. It is not big but it is definitely a must-see spot for internet celebrities. It is very good for taking photos and you can swing on the swing and watch the sea. ✔️Guuri Island Shrimp Rice: The garlic shrimp is rich and sweet, and it goes really well with the rice ✔️Pork Tamago rice balls: This is Okinawa's popular food culture. It is made to order. Come and taste this delicious rice ball. ✔️ EN Creative Cuisine: Stir-fried bitter melon with salted egg is a signature home-cooked dish in Okinawa. EN is located in Makishi Market, where Okinawa's fresh food is gathered. ✔️Nuanmu Ramen: Available at Kokusai-dori, locals eat it with rice ✔️Ryukyu New Noodles Tongtang: Highly recommended, fried dumplings are a must ✔️ Blue Seal Ice Cream: In addition to the classic Blue Wave flavor (a blend of pineapple ice cream and soda sorbet), there are also Okinawa-exclusive flavors such as sweet potato, sugar cane, and salted ginchoko. ✔️ Calbee+ freshly fried handmade fries 💯I just went to Okinawa in the Reiwa era, and I fell in love with this island with many different faces. The climate is pleasant and the people are friendly. There are also many beautiful seaside cafes and delicious food. I will quickly arrange a trip to experience the exotic Okinawa in early summer😍

#Cherry Blossoms 2024 #Nakijin Village’s #Beach On January 1, 2024, I got off the bus, did not cross the road, and walked into the small road. There were many village houses and holiday homes on both sides. The path in the forest, with swaying tree shadows, is also unique! After walking for 10-15 minutes, there is a beach at the end. The water is clear and the sand is fine. The sky is blue and white clouds after the rain, which makes people feel refreshed! The weather is still cold in January, and the beach is sparsely populated. Listening to the sound of the waves, I feel relaxed and happy!

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day #Okinawa #Nakijin Castle Ruins #Sakura In late January 2024, the cherry blossoms at Nakijin Castle in Okinawa were lit up around 6pm in the evening. The cherry blossom patterns were projected on the ground. The pink, white and red spotlights added a lot of color to the cherry blossoms! The cherry blossom festival in the evening is also unique!
