Hi everyone! Our cruise ship will be in Naha on a Saturday, and we’re planning to DIY our itinerary instead of joining a tour. Hoping to get some advice on transport and timing.
Planned itinerary:
10:00 AM – Disembarkation
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM – Okinawa World (thinking taking taxi → Naha Bus Terminal → Route 9 bus to last stop)
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM – Kokusai Street
4:00 PM – Back at cruise terminal
Questions:
1. Does this route/timing look realistic, or are we squeezing in too much?
2Transport options:
Taxis: Are they easy to hail at the port, Okinawa World, and Kokusai Street? Is there an app to book them? Approximate fare to/from Okinawa World? (We’re a group of 12, so likely 3 taxis per ride—unless there’s a better idea?)
Buses: Would it be practical to use public buses for Okinawa World and back? How frequent are they on weekends?
Train/Monorail: Can we incorporate the Yui Rail (monorail) into this route, or is it not efficient for Okinawa World?
Appreciate any advice, especially from people who’ve done this route on a cruise stop!
