I just arrived and I am planning on renting a car and exploring the main island for about 4 days. Any recommendations on route and spots I shouldn't miss?
I made [this reply](https://www.reddit.com/r/okinawa/s/5vl2XDB0EK) to someone else asking something similar. Kind of depends where you are staying because that is not a lot of time.
We stayed on Ikei island which is really far east, about 1.5hr from the airport, peaceful and very scenic. There is a spot that has a beach on the south part of Ikei just past the bridge, its a public beach so no payment and it has a huge abundance of sea life so perfect for snorkeling if you have your own stuff.

If you are staying in Naha I would avoid trying to visit places more north like [Kouri Bridge View Point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kfaK1Q67TrMYFCa19?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy) because it could take up to *two hours* to get there with regular traffic.
