Overall Rating

(1915 reviews)

Okinawa is famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and relaxed lifestyle, but there is more to the island! Visit the graceful whale sharks at Churaumi Aquarium, then enjoy the seascapes from Cape Manza. Visitors with kids will love exploring Okinawa World and the Gyokusendo Cave. History buffs will want to check out Shuri Castle and learn more about the island's role in World War 2.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

Located in the large Ocean Expo Park, about 90 kilometers away from Naha, Churaumi Aquarium is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Although they have a huge variety of sea life, they are most famous for their giant whale sharks and manta rays who are housed the massive Kuroshio Tank. Constantly ranked as one of the must-visit spots on Okinawa Island, this aquarium will fascinate adults and kids alike. As getting there by public transportation can be tough, we recommend booking a tour!
Blue Cave

Tucked under Cape Maeda, just about 1 hour away from Naha, Okinawa's luminous Blue Cave is one of the island's most popular snorkeling and diving spots. When light hits the clear water and white floor of the cave the entire space seems to glow a beautiful turquoise color! Home to plenty of friendly fish and surrounded by coral forests, booking a tour is the easiest way for those unfamiliar with Okinawa to explore this natural wonder.
Okinawa World

Get in touch with Ryukyu culture at this popular park with excellent attractions. The Gyokusendo Cave is one of the biggest in Japan and has dramatic stalactites. Meet the local Habu snakes or watch energetic Eisa dance and drum performances, available several times a day. The Kingdom Village is built in the style of a traditional Ryukyu village, where you can try Okinawan crafts, great for visitors with kids! Adults will love the Nanto Brewery (which offers beer made with 100% coral water!).
Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village)

This walkable theme park recreates a traditional Okinawan village, with cultural performances and workshops for visitors. Make sure to check out the habu snake and mongoose show to learn more about these animals, and then watch eisa dance and drum performances. Keep an eye out for the reenactments of Ryukyu historical ceremonies too!
Kouri Island & Kouri Bridge

To access Kouri Island you will cross the longest and most photogenic bridge in Okinawa, stretching across the clear turquoise water. Home to some of the island's most lovely beaches, such as the family-friendly Kouri Beach, this charming spot is definitely worth a visit. A popular spot for couples, make sure to check out the views from Kouri Ocean Tower and the famous Heart Rock formation.
