| 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. Day 3: Onna’s Blue Hues & Ryukyu Charm Morning: Leisurely Onna Coastline Relax at your resort’s private beach or Manza Moor—where cliffs meet roaring waves in sapphire splendor. Afternoon: Swim with Whale Sharks or Blue Cave Adventure Snorkel alongside gentle giants in cerulean waters. 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.

[Nagannu Island], about 20 minutes by ferry from Naha I didn't even know the name of this island until I went on this trip, but it was so amazing that I decided to go there every year, so I'd like to share it with you! It's easily accessible from Naha, so I highly recommend it for those who want to enjoy both city sightseeing and the sea!✨ It takes about 20 minutes by ferry from Naha to the island in no time. I was really moved the moment I saw the crystal clear emerald blue sea, which is incomparable to Naha 🥺 Food and drinks are not allowed, but there are beach huts so you can feel safe 😋 I went there at the beginning of July, and it was really really hot, so I took good care of UV protection, but if you're in the sea, your body will cool down, so you can stay in as much as you want! There are many activities, but fish often come to the shallows, so I put my iPhone in a case and took a lot of pictures in the sea 🐠✨ I tried [parasailing 🪂] for the first time, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was only a 5-minute flight, but I felt like I was really flying and was so happy that I want everyone to experience it too 💓 There are many photogenic spots, and Nagannu Island is so beautiful that time flies by just looking at the ocean 🏝️ Please go and check it out ☺️ #Hot spots in Japan

Nagannu Island in Chibishi Atoll A resort island 20 minutes from Naha. The island is characterized by its pure white sand and long, narrow shape🏝️ There is also a pier for boats to arrive and depart. I stayed in a cottage✨ Not only can you enjoy the beautiful sea to your heart's content, but it is originally an uninhabited island, so when the last boat leaves at 4:10 p.m., only guests are left. It suddenly becomes quiet, and the sunset is beautiful✨ We had a barbecue at night🥩 What! You can buy beer from a vending machine🍺 Breakfast was brought to us by the boat⭐️ The rooms are simple, but there is air conditioning, and the shared showers have hot water. It's surprisingly civilized😊 In consideration of the environment, we use the body soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided. There was a deck and parasols that only guests could use, so it felt special❤️ Includes round-trip boarding fee, lunch, BBQ dinner, breakfast, bath towel, and toothbrush set 💰Price per person: 22,900 yen 📍Location: Maejima, Okinawa Prefecture #Nagannu Island #Okinawa #Okinawa Trip #Okinawa Remote Islands #Kerama Islands #Cottage Accommodation

The luxury of nothing✨ It feels like standing on the crystal clear Kerama blue sea✨ Kuefu Island in the Chibishi Islands is a flat island made of coral and shells, and is so small that you can easily see the whole island. The shape of the island changes with the tides. The coral shelves are amazing! You can swim with lots of sparkling fish✨ 20 minutes by high-speed boat from Tomari Port in Naha! There is no pier for the boat to dock, so we moved to a banana boat and landed⭐️ The beautiful sea is so close that it makes you feel excited♫ There are no regular boats to the island, so we took a deserted island landing tour. You can rent snorkeling equipment and wetsuits, and change on the boat. There are no toilets, so the boat is very useful. The cold Sanpin tea I had on the way back really warmed my body❤️ It's a recommended spot that you can easily visit as it can be done as a day trip from Naha😊 💰Price per person: Boat fee, equipment rental fee, training fee, guide fee, insurance fee, wetsuit, beach towel All included, about 6000 yen Landing was suspended in 2023, but it has been revived in 2024! 📍Location: Tokashiki Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture #Kerama Islands #Kuefu Island #Okinawa #Naha #Naha Day Tour #Island Trip

I love Okinawa, and this time I would like to recommend the spectacular view from Cape Kubandaki on Tokashiki Island! 💙🌴 The clear blue sea spreads out, and you can see Aharen Beach in its entirety 🙆♀️ At the end of the cape, white sandy beaches and other remote islands float quietly. The view from here is the best location to heal your soul ☺️I ate my onigiri🍙 for lunch here️🩵 It's a place you'll want to stay forever 🥺!! 📍Location: Cape Kubandaki About 10 minutes by rental motorbike or car from Tokashiki Port You can walk from Aharen Beach! If you visit Tokashiki Island, this is one of the places you definitely want to go!! Experience this beautiful view! You're sure to feel refreshed in mind and body in this place, which is filled with natural beauty✌ #Okinawa #Tokashiki Island #Cape Kubandaki #Amazing view #Beauty of nature #Okinawa remote island tourism #Okinawa love #Okinawa trip #Okinawa tourism #Domestic travel #0 yen trip

One of the spots I absolutely recommend to everyone who loves Okinawa is Aharen Beach on Tokashiki Island 🌺✨ The white sand and clear emerald green sea make you feel like you're in paradise ☺️🏖 Tokashiki Island is also perfect for snorkeling and diving, where you can swim with colorful fish °･🐠 Don't miss the beautiful coral reefs you can see in the sea!! You can spend your time relaxing on the beach or enjoying the sea actively, it's a place you can enjoy in any style ✌ 📍Location: Aharen Beach 🚢Access: About 35 minutes by boat from Naha It is located about 10 minutes by bus or taxi after arriving on Tokashiki Island. The beach is equipped with showers and changing rooms, so you can spend your time comfortably. ⚠️【Notes】: Aharen Beach is a popular spot, so it can get crowded during the peak summer season. It is recommended to visit early or use it on weekdays. Also, the sun is strong, so don't forget to take measures against sunburn! Refresh your mind and body at this beach where you can fully experience the charm of Okinawa. You will definitely be soothed by the beauty of nature. #Okinawa #Tokashiki Island #Aharen Beach #Amazing view #Beach life #Relax #Snorkeling #Travel #Domestic travel #Okinawa travel #Okinawa sightseeing #Okinawa remote island sightseeing #0 yen trip

📍Tokashiki Island Part of the Kerama Islands in Okinawa Prefecture✨ Known for its beautiful beaches and rich nature! About 35 minutes by high-speed boat from Naha City⛴️ A popular spot for tourists. Tokashiku Beach and Aharen Beach are perfect for snorkeling and diving with their highly transparent waters✨ Stargazing at night is also recommended! You can see a starry sky that you can't see in the city! Tokashiki Island is recommended for those who want to relax and enjoy nature! Please go and check it out! #TokashikiIsland #OkinawaTrip #TravelWithMe

Actually, you can also enjoy the beautiful seascape of Okinawa's northern glass sea right in Naha by island hopping! We chose the well-developed Tokashiki Island, which is about 2km away from Tomari Port and International Street. ✅【Ferry Terminal】 ⭕️Tomari Port is an important port connecting the main island of Okinawa and several small islands nearby; ⭕️The ferry terminal is not large, and inside there are a few windows marked with different island names (Zamami Village, Kume Island, Tokashiki Island, etc.); ⭕️The Tokashiki Island window only accepts cash and credit card payments, electronic payments are not accepted. Next to it, Zamami Village can use online payment methods; ⭕️You must reserve the ferry from Tomari Port in advance on the official website; ⭕️The fast ferry takes 40 minutes, and the slow ferry takes 70 minutes. We booked the slow ferry for the whole journey, which costs 3310 Japanese yen, including a 100 yen environmental tax; ⭕️The slow ferry is quite stable, with a flat layer on 1F, which is highly recommended for friends who get seasick easily to sleep on the flat layer. There are indoor and outdoor rest areas on 2F and 3F; ✅【Tokashiki Island】 ⭕️The island is located in the eastern part of the Kerama Islands, which is a famous diving spot with many spectacular canyons and caves waiting for diving enthusiasts to explore; ⭕️The waters near the island are home to many types of hard corals, sea fans, etc.; ⭕️There are three beaches on the island, namely Tokashiki, Aharen, and Tokashiku, among which Aharen Beach is more famous. Here you can swim and snorkel; ⭕️After arriving at Tokashiki Island, you can take a shuttle bus from the snorkeling shop/inn you booked, or head straight to the only two buses on the island. The bus station is right next to the port, and the bus fare is 400 Japanese yen per person, one way, paid in cash; ⭕️The commercial atmosphere on the island is not strong, it was said that all consumption on the island must be in cash, but surprisingly, a restaurant was found to accept WeChat and Alipay; ⭕️From the port to Aharen Beach, over a hill, along the way, you will occasionally see the glass sea, the light blue blending with the white sand beach creates a very beautiful vacation painting; ⭕️The bus ride takes about 10 minutes, and when you get off, you can see a circle of small shops, including snorkeling shops, as well as beach chair and umbrella rentals; ✅Main Activities: ⭕️The shop has instructors who can take you to an uninhabited island for snorkeling, where the water is clearer and deeper, and there are more fish and corals; ⭕️The equipment rented from the shop can still be used for snorkeling by the beach after you return from the uninhabited island, and of course, it's also okay if you bring your own equipment; ⭕️If you like to relax, you can rent an umbrella on the beach, buy an iced drink, and laze around for a day, sunbathing, enjoying the breeze, and daydreaming; ⭕️There are not many water entertainment projects here, but there are banana boats; ⚠️Notes: ⭕️We arrived at the beach at 11:30 and left at 15:00 (for the 16:00 ferry), which was a relatively short time! ⭕️Even if you take the 9:00 fast ferry, it still feels a bit short. It is recommended that you stay on the island for one night; ⭕️Only after personal experience did I understand that an action camera is really necessary. I couldn't take clear pictures or do anything with my iPhone after getting in the water.

Autumn trip to Okinawa✨A 4-night, 5-day trip to remote islands in October〜✨ The main event of this trip is "Snorkeling in the Kerama Blue"⛱️🧜🧜🏝️ The spots are Amurojima and Agenashikijima✨You can snorkel at the anchor point✨ You should definitely see the reef photographed by a drone✨✨✨ So beautiful✨✨ Let's go on an autumn trip to the Kerama Islands, the "Kerama Blue that the World Loves"✨✨ #AutumnTrip #RemoteIslands #RemoteIslandTrip #KeramaIslands #Snorkeling

I went to Tokashiki Island, about an hour by ferry from Tomari Port in Naha. The sea was crystal blue and really beautiful. The weather was great and the sun was strong, so I got a lot of sunburn. Access: From Tomari Port in Naha. The building is called "Tomarin." Reservations can be made by phone, online, or at the counter. *It was the high season in summer, so if you make a reservation a few days in advance it may be sold out, so I recommend making a reservation early! Prices: High-speed boat: ¥2,490, Ferry: ¥1,660 (both for adults/one-way) The ferry runs one round trip per day, and the high-speed boat runs two round trips per day in the morning and afternoon, but the number of round trips is increased to three round trips per day during Golden Week and weekends from July to September. Details can be found easily on the internet! Impressions: The ferry was crowded because so many people were boarding! If you get on early you can get a seat inside, but I got on just in time, so I relaxed on a chair outside with a roof! It wasn't a long ride, so some people sat on the floor and others stood and enjoyed the view. If you don't like boats, it's better to secure a seat early. You'll arrive at the island in no time! Most hotels have a pick-up service, so someone will be waiting for you when you arrive. There are hardly any taxis, so many people rent them, but if you're staying for one night, if you become friends with the hotel staff they will often take you with them! 😂 Next I'll introduce the hostel I stayed at✨ #summertrip #okinawa #okinawatrip #tokashiki #remoteislandtrip #trip2022 #okinawa #okinawatrip #island

#WesternJapan #RemoteIslandTrip Abundant coral, fish, and the view from the top of the rocky mountain. Honestly, it was better than I expected, and I was very impressed! You can rent a snorkeling set including a life jacket at Aharen Beach, so I recommend that anyone visiting rent one! *Climbing the rocky mountain is quite steep and a bit dangerous, so please be careful when climbing. Access About 10 minutes by glass boat from Aharen Beach (There is also a banana boat, but I recommend the glass boat because the coral you can see on the round trip glass boat is very beautiful)

Tokashiki Island in the Kerama Islands can be reached in 70 minutes by ferry or 35 minutes by high-speed boat from Tomari Port in Naha. There are many private lodgings, but you can also go for a day trip. If you take the ferry, it costs just over 3,000 yen round trip. If you're going for a day trip, there are tours that include transportation to the beach, so I recommend it. You can stay for just under 4 hours. The main island is beautiful, but why not experience even more beauty on this island? #summertrip #okinawa #naha #remoteislandtrip #okinawatrip

#Breathtakingviews #Remoteislandtrip #Photogenicspots Points It's best to make a reservation by the day before. Prices vary depending on the season. In March, the ferry & snorkel tour is a bargain at 4,800 yen. The length of stay also seems to depend on the season. Either way, it's best to make a reservation in advance. Access From Naha Airport to Tomarin, it takes about 30 minutes by bus or train. From Tomarin, it takes about 30 minutes by ferry.

Dive trip in Japan, Tokashiki island in Okinawa. This island has been designated as a national park due to its pristine and gorgeous underwater world. I’ve been diving loads of diving spots worldwide as a professional scuba diver but l believe this place has the most relaxing marine world and crystal clear water, where l could even stay forever. #instagramworthydestinations #japan #tokashikiisland #scenicspotguide #newphotographer #okinawatravel #okinawa #scubadiving #travelinspiration#newphotographer#scenicspotguide#familytravel#instagramworthydestinations

Tokashiki Beach on Tokashiki Island has a beautiful beach. It's picturesque from any angle. You can actually see turtles if you snorkel, but I didn't find any this time 🐢 A relaxing and charming beach 🏖 #WesternJapan #Tokashiki #Okinawa #TokashikiBeach #Drone #KeramaIslands #Kerama

A hill observation deck overlooking the harbor on Tokashiki Island in the Kerama Islands. It is located in a position where you can get a good view of Tokashiki Port. The area below the observation deck is like a gazebo, so it's conveniently shady. Taking a break while watching the ferry depart. #WesternJapan #Kerama #Tokashiki #Okinawa #Ferry #ObservationDeck

Work is over, and I finally have time to slow down and enjoy the sunshine, sea breeze, and... Wagyu! 📍 Yakiniku Motobu Ranch As soon as you put it in your mouth, you will know what "melts in your mouth" means🤤 Motobu Wagyu is indeed as famous as it is, with delicate fat and full of fragrance, a must-try for meat lovers! 📍 Tokashiki Island A paradise sea area that can be reached by boat 🌊 Snorkeling in the unreal transparent sea and swimming with small turtles is really like entering another world. 📍 Cape Chinen A super healing high-rise attraction! Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the endless Pacific Ocean, all worries are blown away. 📍 Bakubaku Tei A small shop hidden on the hillside, the signature hamburger steak + rich sauce, simple but super happy. The most unexpected surprise on the trip! 📍 Motobu Wagyu Specialty Store If you love Wagyu, remember to recognize the name "Motobu"! Raised locally in Okinawa, the quality is really amazing. During this trip, I didn't do too many itineraries. I just picked the attractions I liked and walked slowly, ate seriously, and relaxed. Conclusion: Okinawa is great, I really want to come again ❤️

The off-season is a great chance to travel on a budget! I visited Okinawa in early June, right in the middle of the rainy season. Many people may feel that they can't enjoy any activities because it's always raining. It's true that the probability of precipitation is high and the humidity is high, but there is less risk of typhoons than in midsummer, and there are still activities that can be enjoyed even in the rain, so this time I'd like to introduce some of the activities that were fun even during the rainy season. Of course, I kept my travel expenses as low as possible! As is common for budget travel, I used LCC (peach) from Narita to Naha. I also booked a great deal on airfare + hotel tickets on Trip.com this time. For 3 nights and 4 days, the total cost of the Narita⇆Naha flight and hotel in Naha city was an incredible 34,000 yen per person! The hotel also included breakfast, so I was able to eat Okinawan cuisine every morning, which was a real treat. I enjoyed the trip at a great price♪ I was able to go to a remote island and enjoy diving with the money I saved, so I would like to share this trip with you♪ 🏝️Activities and places visited this time🏝️ ・Scuba diving (Tokashiki Island) / ¥10,000 ・Sefa Utaki (Nanjyo) / ¥300 ・Kokusai Street (Naha) ・Tsuboya Yachimun Street (Naha) ・American Village (Chatan) (As of June 2025) ） 【From Tokyo to Naha】 ⭐︎Airline used⭐︎ Peach (Narita Airport ⇄ Naha Airport) ✈️Outbound: Narita (departs 9:30) → Naha (arrives 12:35) ✈️Return: Naha (departs 16:40) → Narita (arrives 19:30) 【From Naha Airport to the hotel】 🚝Yui Rail Naha Airport → Asahibashi Station (approx. 11 mins/¥290) 👆Since I had to travel by bus a lot, I decided to stay at a hotel near Naha Bus Terminal. 【From Naha Bus Terminal to Sefa-Utaki】 🚌Take Toyo Bus No. 338 (Platform No. 7) and get off at Sefa-Utaki (approx. 70 mins/¥960) ⚠️There are few direct buses, so you may need to transfer depending on the time of day. [From Naha Bus Terminal to American Village] 🚌Take Toyo Bus 29, 29, 120 (Platform 3 or 11) and get off at the Mihama American Village entrance (about 70 minutes/¥840) 👆Limousine buses are also in operation.

[From Naha Port to Tokashiki Island] 🚢Ferry Tokashiki (approx. 70 mins one way/¥1,690 for adults) 🛥️Marine Liner Tokashiki (approx. 40 mins one way/¥2,530 for adults) 👆I used Marine Liner Tokashiki on the way there and Ferry Tokashiki on the way back, but if you are using the same type of ship for a round trip, you can get a slightly better deal with a round trip ticket. Also, as a warning, Marine Liner Tokashiki is quite shaky!! If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend the ferry! (Example: If you use Ferry Tokashiki both ways...round trip ticket ¥3,210) 👆The prices, departure times, and travel times vary, so it is recommended that you choose the ship you will use according to your travel plans. You can make reservations in advance from the "Tokashiki Ferry Portal Site". #absolutelyfreetrip #domestictravel #okinawatrip #tokashiki #kerama

#summervacay Located in the Kerama Islands near Okinawa, Tokashiki Island is a quiet paradise surrounded by some of the clearest waters in Japan. With its powdery white sand and shades of blue that change with the sky, beaches like Aharen and Tokashiku are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and spotting sea turtles. Life here is slow. You can rent a bike, explore forest trails, or just sit by the shore as gentle waves roll in. The sunsets feel golden and endless. Tokashiki isn’t flashy it’s soft, quiet, and deeply soothing. If you’re seeking a break from the rush, this island offers nothing but sky, sea, and the peace you didn’t know you needed.

Take a speedboat across the Emerald Sea, and you will be captured by the jelly sea the moment you step onto Tokashiki Island. The white sand of Aharen Beach is soft, and the sea water under the sun gradually changes from mint green to sapphire blue. While snorkeling, you will encounter Nemo and clown fish, and the coral garden sways under the waves. The observation deck on the top of the mountain has a panoramic view of the Kerama blue, and on the way back, the sea grape rice bowl of the fisherman's family still has the salty and fresh sea breeze. Every frame of this outlying island is a hand-painted postcard of nature. 🌊🐠
