【沖縄観光スポット紹介】美しい海とビーチの大人気絶景スポットを追い求めるひとり旅

Hello everyone. I’m Matsun, a petite otaku bachelor. This time, we would like to focus on Okinawa’s spectacular scenic spots that will make you say, “This is Okinawa!” We want to convey the charms of Okinawa, such as the beautiful sea and spectacular views of nature, so let’s enjoy the scenery of Okinawa together.

The first places we visited were Yagaji Island and Kouri Island. Kouri Island is said to be the “island of love,” but does that mean I’ll have a chance for a fateful encounter? There are several beaches on Kouri Island, and

They all have a reputation for being incredibly beautiful, so I would like to visit each one. So, first, let’s cross the Kouri Ohashi Bridge, a scenic spot that connects Yagaji Island and Kouri Island.

By the way, Yagaji Island is about a two-hour drive from Naha City, but driving there was really difficult for me as a paper driver. But after overcoming that hardship, you will be rewarded with this spectacular view! ! Isn’t it so beautiful?

The combination of the clear emerald green sea and the islands is the best! ! Just being on the bridge is satisfying, but I thought I’d take the opportunity to go under the bridge as well. What’s under the bridge? Many foreign tourists were taking commemorative photos with their friends.

Meanwhile, a single man plays in the water by himself. It’s the perfect way to play. When you get close, you can see that the water is really clear. You might even want to touch the sea water. Afterwards, it was no secret that my hands were sticky with salt water.

However, if you want to take pictures of landscapes, I personally recommend taking pictures from above rather than from the beach, as the light will reflect better. After enjoying the spectacular view, I would like to go to Kouri Island Station Sorahashi, which is located just after crossing the bridge. This facility

Sells special products and souvenirs from Kouri Island. It’s a place similar to a so-called roadside station. Blue curry? I’m really curious. It’s been highly recommended, but is it famous?

If anyone has eaten it, please let me know. Beyond that was a BANANA cake that I had seen many times during my trip to Okinawa. Furthermore, there are pineapples, which are typical of tropical countries, and mandarin oranges, which have subtle colors.

I’m picky when it comes to oranges. Watermelons, mangoes, etc. are sold there, and you can get excited and feel like you’ve arrived in Okinawa! There is also a dining area outside the facility where you can enjoy sweets from Kouri Island. For now, I’d like to visit the beaches and then come back later.

So, let’s start our beach tour. First up is Kouri Island Beach near Sorahashi. This is Kouri Island’s standard beach, and it seems to be crowded with tourists in the summer.

The most attractive feature of this beach is its pure white sand with fine grains. This way, you can walk barefoot with peace of mind. In addition, I visited various beaches this time, and this was the largest beach on Kouri Island.

The sea water is crystal clear and beautiful, and I can see why it’s so crowded in the summer. However, if you just want to see the scenery, the view from Yagaji Island will look better.

I’m thinking of heading to the next beach, but the sea is so beautiful that I’m captivated by it along the way. Oh no, that’s great. The next beach we came to was Chigunu Beach. It’s quite small considering it’s a beach, but let’s go down to the sand anyway.

The sandy beach…can’t be described as beautiful. There are plastic bottles lying around. I can’t forgive people who throw trash in such a beautiful place! ! To be honest, I wasn’t impressed at all. There was a time when I thought that too. If you look back, you’ll see a cave.This cave

Is also known as the “Cave of the Beginning,” as it is the place where the Okinawan version of Adam and Eve lived. If you go through the cave, you will see a spectacular view of the beach.

If you go through the cave, you will see a spectacular view of the beach. This is too dangerous. To be honest, I personally think this beach had the most spectacular view. It’s a 10-minute walk from Sorahashi, but there aren’t many people, so it’s a perfect little-known beach.

This shrine is the landmark for going to Chigunu Beach. I don’t know if it’s a shrine or not, but it’s definitely a torii gate, right? There is also a shisa to ward off evil spirits. So, I drove again and came to the other side of Kouri Island.

The next beach we will head to is Tinu Beach, where the famous Heart Rock is located. Speaking of Heart Rock, it is a heart-shaped rock that became famous several years ago in a JAL commercial starring Arashi. Nowadays, it has become a power spot for love and a popular tourist spot.

Maybe that’s why I’m thankful that the road leading to the beach is paved. Oh, you can see the heart lock right away. Seriously, it’s shaped like a heart rock and it’s too emotional! ! I took the opportunity to go down to the beach and take a photo of Heart Rock.

Even if you look at it from the side, you can see that it has been eroded into a heart shape, so it looks fantastic. The sandy beach is beautiful, and if you come to Kouri Island, this is definitely a must-see scenic spot.

However, places where there are no tourists are full of floating garbage. Moreover, there are a lot of tourists, so it’s not the kind of beach where you can relax and enjoy sightseeing. On top of that, the sandy beach was so fluffy that I got my feet wet many times.

However, I walked for about 15 minutes and saw the same scenery the whole time, so to be honest, I got bored. Thanks to you, my sneakers are covered in sand.When you come to Teenu Beach, it might be safer to wear Crocs.

Next, let’s go to Tokei Beach, which is just a short walk from Heart Rock. Oh, there are lodgings in places like this too. It would be great to stay near such a beautiful sea.

After a 5 minute walk, you will arrive at Tokei Beach. Look at how few people there are! ! I had heard that it was a little-known beach, but I never expected it to be this far. Well, it’s winter now, so I wonder if it’s crowded in the summer? I don’t know.

Tokei Beach is famous as a natural beach where nature remains untouched. Not only is the sea water beautiful, but the limestone rocks also add to the beautiful scenery. There was also a sandy beach next door, so let’s go there. There are rugged rocks lying all over the place.

It’s great to be able to see nature in its natural state. It was so beautiful that I took lots of commemorative photos with no one else around but me. Then you’d see couples suddenly showing up and taking selfies.

However, I’m glad I came because I was able to enjoy the feeling of being on a private beach in a little-known spot with few people.

Every beach, from famous spots to hidden beaches, was incredibly beautiful. This may be the first time in my life that I was so moved by the sight of the ocean. Personally, I’m in a remote part of Okinawa, so I think I’d recommend a little-known beach like Tokei Beach.

When you come to Kouri Island, please visit not only the famous beaches but also the hidden beaches. Well, now that I’m done visiting the beaches, I’d like to go back to Sorahashi and have some food. This time, I visited Kourijima Cafe, which was recommended on many sites online.

At Kouri Island Cafe, you can enjoy Okinawan gourmet food while looking out at the spectacular ocean view. It was written online, but there are only a limited number of seats where you can see the spectacular ocean view, so be careful when coming. By the way, I couldn’t sit in that seat either.

Sad…I was hungry, so I ordered the special taco rice at Kourijima Cafe for a late morning brunch. Actually, I thought I was using the camera, but I wasn’t able to take any pictures. So, this is my second time shooting, so I’m in this state, but I’d like to try some taco rice.

Taco rice was everywhere in Okinawa, so what does it taste like? delicious. The taco sauce tastes a little spicy but has a strong flavor, and the meat is juicy and delicious. If you come to Okinawa, you should try taco rice at least once.

Okinawa has a variety of gourmet foods, so you won’t get tired of eating them, which is great. After eating rice, it’s always time for sweets. This time, I ordered a smoothie made with dragon fruit, a tropical specialty, at “Oice cafe” located within the Sorahashi facility.

The decoration is so unique that I get excited just looking at it. I also wanted to try Okinawan-style sweets, so I bought a Tropical Dragon Smoothie at “Oice Cafe.”

I was also interested in the Oppa Ice Cream from the shop next door because of the name, but when you say tropical, you mean tropical. So, I would like to have it. delicious. I can’t say anything anymore. It has fruit pulp in it, so it feels like eating fruit as it is, and

It feels like they’ve taken great care with the ingredients, so it’s really delicious. There aren’t many restaurants on Kouri Island, but there is a roadside station just across the Kouri Island Ohashi Bridge that sells Okinawan gourmet food that represents Okinawa, so be

Sure to check it out when you come to Kouri Island. Please stop by the roadside station. The next place we came to was the Nakijin Castle ruins. Shall we go buy the admission ticket first?

The Nakijin Castle ruins were built around the 14th century as the residence of King Kitayama, one of the three kingdoms on the main island of Okinawa. The main enclosure was captured during the war, so only the stone walls remain today.

On the way to Nakijin Castle ruins, the cherry blossoms are already blooming! ! I thought that the earliest cherry blossoms in Japan were Kawazuzakura, but I wonder if this is a different variety? This was an unexpected miscalculation. For some reason, I feel calm when I see cherry blossoms.

I was planning to take a commemorative photo in front of the nameplate at the entrance, but it was occupied by foreign tourists, so I decided not to go. This is the paid area.

Wow, I was immediately excited by the sight of the historic stone wall. When you enter the premises, there are cherry blossoms here as well. If I had come a little later, it would have been in full bloom and beautiful.

The first thing you’ll see is the Shichi-Go-San staircase. It seems that it is called this because of the repeated steps of 3, 5, and 7 steps. Is it simple? ! However, these stairs are quite difficult to walk! ! Therefore, I recommend coming with sneakers.

When you climb the stairs, you will see the large garden (Wumya). It seems to have been an important plaza that was used for events at the time, but without a pamphlet, you might just ignore it.

There is a monument next to it. I don’t know what it says, but it has a nice atmosphere. As you climb further, you will reach Uchibaru, the most scenic point among the Nakijin Castle ruins. You know it’s a spectacular view when you see the ocean in the background.

The view from the observation deck is like this. The collaboration of cherry blossoms, stone walls, and the sea is amazing to say the least! ! There was a spectacular view that you would want to see over and over again.

By the way, the stone wall you can see below is called the outer wall, and is surrounded by a single stone wall that is several hundred meters long. When you look at it this way, you will be surprised to see that the construction is completely different from the castles on the mainland.

I’m already full after enjoying the spectacular view, but I’d like to go deeper. I mean, each stone in the stone walls of Jisuku in Okinawa is small, right?

To an untrained eye, it looks like it’s been piled up properly, and I’m impressed that it hasn’t collapsed over the years with such a sloppy stacking method. This square seems to be where the main enclosure, or so-called Honmaru, was located.

I wanted to see what Jisook in Okinawa looked like. Right next to it is Kagami’s nameplate. I don’t really get it, but it’s cool! ! Let’s go deeper. Even so, the stone walls all around it are spectacular.

There are also stones embedded in the ground, so if you look away, you’ll probably trip and fall. Be careful. Once you pass through the gate, you will see this spectacular view. This scenery is the best of Okinawa! ! It’s irresistible for history buffs.

This place is called Shigema Jōkaku, which was the defensive area behind Nakijin Castle, and was apparently the area where people who worked close to the castle lord lived. The view from the bottom is also spectacular. The curves of the stone walls are just too beautiful.

There are plenty of benches, so those who are tired of coming all the way can rest assured. I tried walking along the old road on my way home, but the stones were so rough that it was difficult to walk. This means that even if the enemy attacks, it won’t be easy to invade.

I don’t recommend it for people with weak legs, but if you want to feel the history, please give it a try. It was completely different in structure and shape from the castles I had seen before, and it was really fun just looking at it. It’s definitely a place that castle lovers

Can’t resist, but even if you’re not a castle fan, the view from the stone walls is truly spectacular, so I personally think it’s a highly recommended place. .

The next place we came to was the Fukugi trees in Bise. This signboard is so deteriorated that it looks like it’s going to be torn down at any moment. Leaving aside any digressions, let’s head to the Fukugi tree-lined area of ​​Bise.

The Fukugi trees in Bise were planted around private houses as a windbreak about 100 years ago, and the Fukugi trees line the area for about 1km. Recently, it has become popular as a photo spot and many tourists visit. A view of this tree-lined street. It’s rich in nature and soothing.

Combined with the dirt roads, it has a tropical feel, and it’s a view that you can’t often see on the mainland. It looks like it would feel good to go for a walk. For now, let’s walk to the back.

After walking for a while, you will arrive at the first highlight, the Meoto Fukugi. As you can see, the name comes from the fact that the two Fukugi trees grow close together.

It is said to be a power spot that brings marital harmony and happiness, so many couples come here to take commemorative photos. Well, it has nothing to do with me being a single man. Shisa figurines were also sold in front of the Fukugi couple. It’s so cute.

It’s the perfect size to buy to commemorate your visit to Okinawa. The price is also reasonable. So, let’s walk deeper. However, the scenery was the same from here on out, so I had to cut it short. For now, you can reach your destination, the cape, by following the nameplate that says “Direct Route.”

The scenery was so irreplaceable that I would like to introduce another highlight. You can ride a water buffalo cart along the Fukugi trees in Bise. That cow pulls the vehicle. I think it’s a unique experience that can only be experienced in a tropical country, so if you’re interested, please give it a try.

And then we arrived at Fukugi Namiki Street. Well, what was the path I was walking on until now? That makes me want to tsukkomi. There aren’t many people when you get to this point, so if you’re looking to take photos, I think it’s best to walk a little deeper to get better photos.

After 20 minutes of walking, we finally passed through the Fukugi trees and arrived at our destination, Bisezaki. As always, the sea water is crystal clear and the scenery is spectacular. It’s worth the walk.

That’s what I wanted to say, but since I had seen many beautiful views of the sea, I wasn’t really impressed. In fact, I felt more tired because my legs were tired. My eyes are completely swollen now. sorry. By the way, you can also walk along the coastline to Bisezaki, so

I think it would be nice to enjoy a different atmosphere while looking at the sea on your way back. At first, I was very impressed because I was able to see scenery that is rarely seen on Honshu . At first…

But honestly, I got tired of it because I walked for about 15 minutes and saw the same scenery for about 15 minutes. Same as illumination. That said, I think it’s definitely worth coming, but personally I don’t think it’s necessary to walk from one end to the other.

The next place we came to was “Roadside Station Kyoda”. Kyoda is apparently a popular roadside station, so much so that it was ranked number one in the roadside station popularity ranking. It seems that local gourmet food and souvenirs from this area are sold here, so I

‘d like to go inside right away. Roadside Station Kyoda was opened in 1994 and is the first roadside station in Okinawa Prefecture. Oh, Kanojo is also her poster! ! Just seeing anime pictures can get you excited. Regardless, it is a popular roadside station that ranked number one in popularity in 2020, and

Will reopen in 2021. So, shall we go and uncover the truth behind why it ranks number one in popularity? And an Orion T-shirt at the entrance. Come to think of it, I’ve seen tourists wearing this T-shirt in various places. Actually, I kind of regret that I should have bought it too.

When you enter and go to the right, there is a dining room, and the garlic steak in this restaurant is said to be exquisite. Sakura Chinsukou is on the left. When it comes to Okinawan souvenirs, it’s definitely Chinsuko.

It was so delicious that I bought 50 pieces of chinsuko to take home as souvenirs. The inside of the building is surprisingly small, and it feels warm. Not only Okinawa souvenirs, Nago City specialty products and alcohol are sold, but also pottery unique to Okinawa, so you’ll never get tired of browsing.

Also, this chocolate mochi is apparently a specialty of Nago City, so let’s buy it as a souvenir from Paisen. I actually tried it, and the texture was chewy and delicious, so I recommend it if you’re having trouble deciding what to buy. (I just read the pop page)

Also, fruits produced in Nago City are sold cheaply. This area is similar to roadside stations on the mainland. Outside the building, gourmet food was sold like a service area. Among them, the tempura shop’s Okinawa-style tempura seems to be extremely popular, so

Let’s go there right away. There are many different types of tempura such as white fish tempura, red ginger tempura, and mozuku tempura . This time I ate mozuku tempura, which is very Okinawan. I didn’t do a food report because I didn’t have time, but it was okay.

Because it’s made in advance, the batter absorbs oil and doesn’t feel as crispy. It looks delicious when it’s freshly made. By the way, you can also go to the roof of the building in Kyoda.

You can also go there and eat.There is also an eat-in space, so if you buy gourmet food at the roadside station, go to the rooftop and eat while looking out at the sea.It will be a memorable experience. I think I understand why the roadside station Kyoda is so popular.

The last place I visited this time was Cape Manza. It’s right next to Manza Beach, which was recommended by Paisen, so I’d like to take a walk around that area as well.

At the entrance, you will be greeted by the Mamoru Manza mascot character. cute! Cape Manza has a nice sound to it. If you make a slight mistake, it will cause a big accident. When you enter the facility, they will tell you the sunset time.

Today’s sunset is 18:11. It’s 17:50 now, so it looks like it’s going to get dark if we don’t hurry. By the way, the facility I’m currently in is called the Manzamo Revitalization Facility, and it’s a building that was just built in 2020.

There was an Okinawan souvenir shop on the first floor of the facility. There are souvenirs available only at Cape Manza, so why not stop by after you’ve finished sightseeing? There are several restaurants on the second floor. It was almost closing time inside the building, so most of the restaurants were closed, but

It seemed to be busy when I came around lunchtime. Even so, the building is stylish! ! At Cape Manza, you can also wear costumes from the Ryukyu Kingdom. It would be nice to take a commemorative photo with the scenery of Cape Manza while wearing the costume.

It would also be nice to take a commemorative photo, so to tour Mazamo you will need a friendship ticket, and to tour Manzamo you will need an admission ticket so let’s go buy one right away.

“The hair is enough to seat 10,000 people.” This is a word that King Shokei praised this place, and it seems that this is the origin of the name Manzamo. It looks so stylish outside. And the words “Manzamo” are written in big letters. That’s a strong claim! !

That place is a perfect photo spot. It might be nice to know at a glance that you’ve come to Cape Manza. The road is paved, so it’s easy to walk, and it’s very beautiful. The current time is just around dusk, but Cape Manza has beautiful sunsets, so I

Think it’s a good idea to visit during that time. Although you can’t go inside, the plaza is large and has a feeling of openness. Finally, we arrive at the symbol of Manzamo. The sunset is so beautiful! ! However, I couldn’t take a good photo of Cape Manza because it was backlit.

This is the limit of the iPhone. sorry. It’s difficult to take photos, but if you come as a couple, you’ll probably get the best feeling. By the way, Cape Manza is a cliff formed by uplifting coral rocks, and

Is said to be about 20 meters high. That’s why looking down on the ocean from the top of a cliff is surprisingly scary. Please be careful if you are afraid of heights. This handrail is the only thing that protects me from the cliff. Ah, on the other hand,

Does that mean I should just confess my feelings to the woman I’m interested in now, aiming for the suspension bridge effect ? Am I a genius? ! Beyond that, you can see Manza Beach, ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort, which Paisen recommended

. If you stay at that resort hotel, you’ll certainly have the best day ever. Next time I come to Okinawa, I would like to stay at a resort hotel with someone. This is the sunset effect. You can easily enjoy the spectacular scenery at Cape Manza, so

I thought it would be a great place to stop by to take a break from driving. So, that concludes the introduction to tourist spots in Okinawa. The scenic spots in Okinawa were truly spectacular. When it comes to the beauty of the sea, I can only say it is overwhelming. For example,

It’s like having a baseball team mixed with major leaguers. The other sightseeing spots were truly amazing, with historical buildings and gourmet food that you can’t see on Honshu. My reverse homesickness has accelerated even more. So, if you find this video even a little interesting,
