OOkinawa

2-3 days Okinawa itinerary

  • July 24, 2025

Me and my dad are going from osaka to okinawa, since we will be going to japan in august-september and it is going to be hot and we will also explore „enough“ culture in tokyo,kyoto,osaka,hakone and fuji we will go to okinawa and enjoy the ocean there (skipping the cultural stuff here)

Day 1 (arriving very late)
going to accomodation and sleep naha near ferry terminal or near kokusai

Day 2 waking up early, conbini breakfast
going snorkeling kerama islands (e.g 08:00-15:00)
showering, getting ready
shuri castle
kokusai street
leaving at night with car to onna (40min)
sleeping there

Day 3
waking up early, conbini breakfast
driving to aquarium (50min)
staying at aquarium for cpl of hours
leaving aquarium and going to beach
going back to onna
dinner
maybe strolling around in onna
sleep

day 4
wake up early
drive to naha airport (50min)
(flight at 10am)

i know day 2 is packed but i think we should be capable to do that in one day if needed we will cut something out. Feel free to tell what you liked in okinawa and would recommend to other people. I appreciate ANY advice and opinions.Thank you

  1. I don’t think you’ll have time for kerama and shurijo in the same day. IMO the aquarium is crowded/overhyped, I would recommend Okinawa World over it. But that’s on the southern part of the island. You basically only have 2 days in Okinawa, I would just stick to the southern part unless you’re set on Onna.

  2. honestly i would personally skip shuri castle as it burned down in 2019 and the reconstruction is set to be finished in 2026 so unless you wanna see bunch of construction, you can skip it. especially with such a limited schedule. same for the aquarium. Unless you specifically wanna see a whale shark, skip it as well.

    if you have your own snorkeling equipment, I would highly recommend Apogama, one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve had

    if you’re interested there are also bunch of ryuku glass workshops where you can make a glass for yourself, but with your timeframe you’d have to get it shipped realistically as you have to pick it up the following day if you want to get it in person.
