Hi, I’m solo-travelling to Okinawa for 2 weeks around golden Week. Does anyone have recommendations for things to see and going out?
Also is it safe for a female traveler to go out at night alone? I live in Osaka and didn’t had any bad experiences so far but I was wondering if Okinawa is the same 🙂

Do you like outdoors or more of an indoors recreation type person? You can dm me 😌
I felt there safe like everywhere else in Japan. And if someone call me so it were only kind words.
You should visit some near islands at least and look on the pacific life in ocean(I mean diving or snorking there).
Aquarium,
American village,
Caves,
I would definitely recommend going to at least one of the Kremas (Tokashiki, Zamami) or for a few days to either Miyakojima or Ishigaki, flights are cheap especially if you book in advance. Currently being in Mijyako and it’s amazing! A really slow peace place, with extremely nice people and if you rent a car you can go around the whole island in two days enjoying beaches, or try some nearer city with a bike.
As for the Okinawa main island aquarium and the Kremas were my highlights last year. The American village was a little gimmick (but I’m European so that’s probably why), Shuri castle (there are going to be some night lights shows during golden week.
It’s 100% safe to go out at night alone here! The island is so small if anything bad happens (which rarely happens compared to mainland) they know who did what in a day. As far as recommendations it depends on what you like to do. You can’t fit everything in a single trip I tell you that lol
the streets are safe (but a night hookup in a bar, with a bunch of strangers – not necessarily so). Use your common sense
