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

Amazing hotel with an ONSEN!

Ryukyu Onsen Senagajima Hotel is my favorite hotel in Okinawa. It’s one of the several hotels with an in-hotel onsen or hot spring in Okinawa. The male and female onsen switches daily and it’s free for hotel stayers. We went morning and night because we liked it so much! It is a stunning place with a beautiful view of the turquoise sea. The amenities are also great, beds are super comfy and breakfast is delicious. #okinawa #japan #hotel #hotspring #onsen

There is a hottest tourist spots "Umikaji Terrace", you can take a good photo and taste some local Okinawa food there. Recommend to try 'A Happy Pancake', this shop's pancake is make to order so you might need to wait a long time if there is long queue however it's worth to wait. Getting There - Drive from Okinawa Naha Airport takes about 10minute Attractions - ChildRock, Airplane landing, Food & Restaurants - A happy pancake

Okinawa Attraction: Ta-Taki Waterfalls

#waterfall #okinawa 1570-1 Tsuha, Ōgimi, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-1318 The address is the parking lot. If you love hikes and you’re all about “the journey is more important than the destination” then this is a place for you. I think August is the best time to go and hike and swim because it’s not overwhelming humid. It’s bearable. Make sure to wear proper footwear because hiking with flip flops was the worst!!! 😂

Okinawa Attr: Higashi Village Azalea Festival

#flowers #azalea #okinawa Azalea Garden, Villagers’ Forest (Higashi Village) Higashi Village is the most northern place I’ve been to in Okinawa. In my opinion, the best time to go and walk around the gardens is on a warm day. You can feel the heat and take beautiful pictures like the ones shown above 👆 It’s been a year since I was there, but I can recall the festival didn’t have that many food vendors. I recommend eating before because it wouldn’t be good to walk around on an empty stomach :)

My stay in Okinawa was just amazing

I booked the last minute flight from Taipei to Okinawa just spend a couple of days before New Year’s holiday. The hotel is well designed and newly renovated (I guess) because everything was just neat and decent. The hotel is right next to the trail station. Happy to stay at Strata Naha hotel. See you next time! Address - The Strata Naha (Okinawa) Ambiance/Facilities - I will give 5stars Highlights - the backyard to chill Avg. Price per Person - NT1500-2000 or ¥10,000 Rating - 4.9 out of 5 #okinawa #beachlife

Stop at Umikaji Terrace Before Your Flight

Senagajima Umikaji Terrace is a 15-minute drive from Naha Airport. This is an island resort that was born on a sloping land bordering the west coast of Senagajima Island in 2015. Enter into a maze of white walls covered in vegetation with a magnificent view of the Okinawan beach, and even airplanes as they land at Naha airport. If you loved the beaches here and know you’re gonna miss it——don’t worry, you can still enjoy them here! The beach in front of Umikaji terrace offers just as much corals, creatures, and seashells as the other places you might have visited during your trip. There’s more than plenty of food here: you can dine mainly on local fruits, vegetables, and seafood, and you can also enjoy shopping for Okinawan accessories and clothes. This makes it the perfect spot to enjoy the last—or beginning—of your Okinawa trip. There are more than 40 restaurants and merchandise shops. Business hours are 10: 00-22: 00 except for some stores. #okinawa #japan #beaches #ocean #beach #beachlife #asia

Witness nature’s beauty at Cape Hedo

Marveled at the northern tip of the mainland #okinawa, Cape Hedo offers one of the most scenic view the Mother Earth availed to the humanity. Entire loop around the mainland Okinawa takes about 10 or so hours by car from #naha, the center of Okinawa. This loop has numerous attractions and activities that will surely make you fall in love with Okinawa, the only subtropical region of Japan. Take as many stops as you’d like if you’re doing the loop drive around mainland Okinawa to cool off in the surrounding #ocean. The ocean around Okinawa is super clear that you’ll be able to see the bottom of the ocean. #bucketlistreboot

Mr Kinjo Okinawa style

Mr Kinjo Okinawa is a chain of apartments at Okinawa. Their pricing are very decent and can be cheap too. In Okinawa, they have a lot of branches. When I first went to Okinawa, I landed and drove around before checking into Mr Kinjo at Nago. It was a big studio for 2 pax with full sized fridge, washer, bathtub and big space. I arrived late at night so the parking lot was full. The attendant guided me to the next parking lot which was a short distance away. It will be easier if you drive in Okinawa because their public transport outside of their main town is not so high frequency. Okinawa is an amazing island, with great beaches. #okinawa #mrkinjo

[Okinawa handmade gelato yukuRu] Okinawa: Umikaji Terrace | Dragon fruit (¥ 500) Italian gelato specialty store in Umikaji Terrace, Senagajima 🇮🇹 The store name, yukuRu, seems to mean "slow down" in the Okinawan dialect. The dragon fruit was a little sour and refreshing and very delicious. Perfect for hot days 🥰 The inside of the store is also photogenic and the sea is right next to it and the location is great! ✨ Umikaji Terrace should definitely go if you go to Okinawa 💨 .. .. #yukuru #yukuru #gelato #jelato #okinawa #okinawa Travel #okinawa #umikaji Terrace #umikaji Terrace Cafe #umikajiterrace #senagashima

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

Shurijo Castle- A must visit place in Naha

Shurijo Castle symbolizes the history and culture of Okinawa. Since there was a fire in 2019, the Shurijo Castle is undergoing the reconstruction project. Anyway, they has managed to make the attraction quite special and interesting. I joined the Shurijo Castle Reconstruction construction particularly experience based event -Bengalese stripes coating experience. We apply Bengalese stripes to edge materials of wood used for the Shurijo Castle rebuilding. By decorating with crayon and magic, Shurijo Castle properties stamp, original work is completed. we take it home as a souvenir. The view at the top of the Shurijo Park. We really enjoy to visit Shurijo Castle. Small note to tourist who travel by public transport: Board on monorail and get down from Station 15- Shurijo, walk about 15 minutes. If you are interested to get more information about Shurijo Castle, please go to official website and you can get all the info with different kind of languages. ##Okinawa

Infamous Star Sand Beach Taketomi

It’s all in the name: Hoshizuna no Hama, or Star Sand Beach, located on Taketomi Island in Okinawa, Japan, is filled not with sand made up of rocks and minerals, but instead with microscopic star-shaped particles. These tiny particles have no relation to the stars in the night sky, nor to the starfish wash up on shore with them. Star sand is actually the remnants of tiny organisms, a group of animals belonging to the subphylum Foraminifera. Their scientific name is Baculogypsina sphaerulata, but marine biologists call them “living sand,” although technically the discarded exoskeletons of the microscopic animals that wash up by the millions on shore are just the dead remains. This particular species of “forams” is found only in East Asia along the Pacific Ocean in coral reefs, making Star Sand Beach and the other coastlines where B. sphaerulata live and die rare treasures.#beach #ishigaki #japan #okinawa #stars

Naminoue Shrine (波上宮), Okinawa’s “ichinomiya” (一宮), the highest-ranking shrine in the prefecture is known simply to the locals as ‘Nanminsan’ has a long history dating back to at least the 1300s and today is the most widely-visited place of worship in all of Okinawa. The shrine is not only one of the most important religious sites in the capital city, but is also a place of worship that is uniquely ‘Okinawan.’ Even though it maintains many of Japan’s traditional design elements, it is unmistakably something that you’re only going to see in Okinawa which makes it stand out from the 80,000 other shrines across the country. Literally, the “Above the Waves Shrine”, Naminoue Shrine, pronounced [Na-mi-new-oh-eh], sits high on its perch above the Naha Harbour. The internet is full of claims that the history of the shrine dates back almost a thousand years, but that is actually a bit misleading. There isn’t actually any recorded information or evidence that gives an exact date as to when a shrine was first constructed in this location. #shrine #japan #okinawa #naha #beach

Mangrove in Japan Southern Island Ishigaki

Kayaking in Mangrove Forest of Ishigaki with Adventure Pipi. Lucky for us we were the only ones who signed up and had the tour guide all to ourselves. Also blessed with good weather despite the end of winter. There are plenty to do in Ishigaki, check out the mangroves, hiking to a gorgeous waterfall, jump into the pool, and have lunch in the forest. Easy to get around the island too! #nature #ishigaki #okinawa #waterfall
