ここは本当に日本？沖縄旅行ガイド（訪れる前にチェック！）

Discover the ‘Caribbean of Japan’ in this ultimate Okinawa Travel Guide. From Naha to the North, here is everything you need to know about Okinawa 2026.

Okinawa doesn’t feel like the Japan most people imagine. With tropical beaches, a slower pace of life, and its own unique culture, Okinawa offers a completely different side of the country.

In this video, we explore Okinawa’s main island, starting in Naha and travelling across the island to show you the best things to do, where to stay, and practical tips to help you plan your trip.

You’ll see a mix of city life, historical sites, beaches, and coastal spots — including places like Kokusai Dori, Shuri Castle, Katsuren Castle Ruins, Moon Beach, Busena Marine Park, Sunset Beach, and American Village at night.

We also share honest advice on:

Where to stay in Okinawa (Naha, Chatan, Onna Village, and the north)
Free beaches vs resort-managed beaches
How to get around the island (including car rental tips)
What makes Okinawa different from the rest of Japan

Okinawa is also one of the best places in Japan for diving and snorkelling, and in the next episode, we’ll be heading out on multiple dive trips to explore what’s under the surface — plus sharing practical diving tips for Okinawa.

If you’re planning a trip to Okinawa, or you’re curious about Japan beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, this video will give you a realistic idea of what to expect.
