Onna Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

[cp] It is by the sea, above the cliff, shaped like an elephant's nose, but it is a grassland that can accommodate thousands of people. This is the 10,000-seat wool of Okinawa, Japan. It is the location of the Hong Kong film "Love Okinawa" and has become the place where most Okinawa games must be played. This is not very big. I drove to the parking lot and walked for five minutes. The opposite is the tens of thousands of hairs that look like elephants and noses. Looking down, the sea is slap on the reef, and there is a piece of it. The waves of the film, there are many people coming here, from the entrance to the exit is a line, you can go out slowly along the crowd.

There is a place in the northeast of Naha, called Wanzao Mao. The meaning of Wanmao Mao is that it can accommodate the grassland of thousands of people. Wanmao is on a cliff on the beach. You should pay attention to it. It is often very windy. Sometimes you stand on the edge of the cliff and even stand still. Steady, but it is beautiful. TIPS: There are two Okinawa's most acclaimed churches for weddings: Corvetta Coralvita Chaoral & Ai Kulu Church Chapel & Aquiluce Chapel, My favorite is Aquace, also known as the Church of the Water. Aqua means water, Luce means light, as its name suggests, from the warm sun shining into the altar of floor-standing glass up to 10 meters high, the blue sky is connected with the ocean, through a well-designed angle Let the ocean in front of the altar look more beautiful and magnificent. The entire church is in the shape of a shell. Clavetta Church

Manzamo | My life, even a scribble is a perfect score

| My life, even a scribble is a perfect score. If I were to describe Okinawa with a color, it would definitely be blue, an incomparable blue💙💙💙 Escaping Shanghai for the weekend, lying flat in a seaside city🏝️ Okinawa Main Island is not large but is quite long and narrow, with a significant north-south span, so transportation is not very convenient, but compared to other cities in Japan, the taxi fares in Okinawa are actually quite acceptable! (It was very cost-effective for the four of us to split the fare) Manzamo: Manzamo is actually a very standardized tourist spot, very well-developed, and if it's your first time, I still recommend taking a walk around! Manzamo is not big and is perfect for a stroll after a meal What surprised me the most was actually the sea, with its surging waves! It's hard to describe the shock of what I saw with my own eyes

Ryukyu culture

#2023travelwish This is the Ryukyu mura, a traditional Okinawan village located in Okinawa~ It takes approximately an 80 minute bus ride from Naha to reach there. Of course driving will be much more convenient🫣 It is a theme park where you can enjoy handicrafts, learn how to play a traditional instrument called the sanshin guitar. There are also traditional performances which are fun and interesting to watch! It’s definitely worth a visit~ I wish I can learn more of the different traditional cultures in Japan~

Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village) in Okinawa City

Ryukyu Mura is a small-scale theme park in Okinawa that showcases the traditional culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom for tourists to explore. The park is divided into different zones, including a museum displaying history, shops, souvenir stores, and performance areas. The traditional buildings are characterized by their distinctive red-tiled roofs and are surrounded by stone walls to protect against storms. Interesting activities at Ryukyu Mura include workshops on various crafts, local Okinawan music performances played with the Sanshin, a traditional Okinawan instrument, and Taiko drumming. Admission fees: Adults (ages 16 and up) 2,000 yen / High school students 1,500 yen / Children (ages 6 - 15) 800 yen, and children under 6 years old are free. Access: From downtown Naha, take the bus from Asahibashi / Naha Bus Terminal (Platform 11) on lines 20, 120 to the Ryukyumura stop. The journey takes about 1 hour.

Ryukyu Mura

#okinawatrip A wonderful place to visit if are interested in the Okinawan culture. Not only can you see the traditional constructions and crafting, but also enjoy the local music, food and dances. Information is clear and staff is very friendly. Worth every single yen you pay for it. Totally recommended!This was a fun place to go. The tour was fun. If you have some time to kill it’s a nice stop for a touristy thing to do. They have a nice butterfly house too! Guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun.

As soon as I walked into the Ryukyu Village, I felt as if I had crossed the ancient days of Japan, and the performance staff wore traditional costumes and headwear. The area around Ryukyu is very clean and the greenery is quite good. There are 10 houses in the village that are more than 100 years old and form a national registered tangible cultural heritage village. Among them, Zhongzonggenjia and Dachengs houses have been 205 years old, and there is a very atmosphere of antique villages. There are a lot of performances in the Ryukyu Village, but I am particularly interested in the old grandfather who plays the third line. The three lines really only have three lines, but they can play songs full of Japanese flavors, and the Japanese grandfather is also very dedicated. Although there is no indoor room without air conditioning in the hot summer, he still wears long sleeves and thick traditional clothes. Do not change color, play for us leisurely. When I was traveling to Tokyo, Japan, I was touched by the Japanese people's professionalism many times. This time is no exception. In addition to watching performances, there are also Ryukyu traditional costumes for rent in Ryukyu Village. If time permits, it is sure to rent a set of clothes for a photo! If you want to buy a gift, you can consider Ryukyu Village black sugar. Black sugar is made from Okinawa's famous sugar cane. It is rich in natural minerals and nutrients. It has a slightly bitter taste in sweetness.

Okinawa beach

#thingstodo The room was fantastic and the staff was unbelievably friendly! Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, as do most others. The food was good, albeit a bit over priced, but the restaurant waitstaff definitely made the experience enjoyable. There is a convenience store on the premises, which is great for snacks, beer, and sunscreen. My main complaint is around the handling of activities and the beaches. For example, we brought our own snorkels to use at the beach. However, when we tried to go into the water, we were told we needed a life vest. We head up to the pool counter and they want to charge ¥1000+ for life vests just to use our own snorkel gear. Quite annoying since we are both experienced swimmers and just wanted to poke around for a bit. Overall, the hotel was very nice.

Sheraton Okinawa Sunmarina Resort

#thingstodo The room is very large with a balcony, two very comfy beds and very soft bed sheets. The view is excellent. There is a great variety of water activities there, zipline, canoeing, beach, swimming pool, water slides..you name it. The staff are very professional and helpful. The hotel is close to a number of restaurants. Overall speaking the hotel is brilliant.

Dive in the Blue Cave, meet the beautiful Blu-ray world to the nearest place to the sea, is to sneak into its embrace. Want to get in touch with the ocean, why not go to the bottom of the sea to see? There is a kind of blue, called Okinawa Blue, translucent and clean, undeveloped original ecology, making people unforgettable. As the most suitable island for all-neon diving, Okinawa has excellent diving sites on both the island and the outlying islands, making it a favorite among divers worldwide. Here is the flow of the world's largest warm current "black tide", so the nature of the seabed is more abundant than other sea areas, and you can see the footprints of human beings. Okinawa can dive all year round, although the winter is still colder, but the humpback whale only appears in winter, this eye, you still don't see it? And the visibility in winter will be better, and the summer should pay attention to avoid the typhoon season from August to September. Arrival: Arrive at Zhenrong Tianyu and walk in the direction of the sea. There are not many roads here, and the direction is unified to the beach. Diving cost: more than 700 time, the latest diving time before 1pm #Okinawa Travel# ## ##

Okinawa Blue Cave Snorkeling

I’ve had my First Snorkeling experience with my friends. It was the best experience ever. Enjoyed a lot. Must recommended if you visit Okinawa.#Okinawa #bluecave

Blue Cave Okinawa

Checked out the blue cave on our own instead of signing up for a tour with the agencies. As we did not intend to swim or snorkel, we decided to go there during low tide. You can check the tides and current on the day itself to decide what time to go. we were quite lucky as there were only 2 other groups of individuals who were in the same area as us. Sunset was pretty awesome. We wore wet shoes and it was possible to walk to the cave without getting too wet. Saw a lot of sea creatures!#seacucumber #bluecave #okinawa #japan #sunset #diy #coralreef

Moon Beach

#thingstodo Really enjoyed our stay here. Very nicely renovated big rooms with beautiful view. Excellent breakfast buffet. Clean sandy beach. Convenient coin laundry facilities. We enjoyed the use of the public bath as well. Loved all the bougainvillia flowers everywhere.Beautiful pool and beach. 1,000 yen per person to get in if youre not staying at the hotel and 1,000 to park. Only wish they didn't have so many rules at the beach and more free seating.
