Okinawa with car vs without

Looking for hotels to stay in Okinawa if we had a car vs if we didn’t. Also general opinions/advice. First time going there. Staying 5 days at the beginning of July.

Without a car:

– We would uber or public transportation to most places (we are sure to hit up the more popular/attractive places so hoping commuting is that bad)

– Staying in the Tsuboya area of Naha 15 min walk to Kokusai but not in the heart of traffic I assume. Also near port to zamami island (more convenient loco)

With a car: (NEED recs for area with good housing/parking/having a car. A bit farther from the crowd and small streets)

– looking for a cheaper but nicer area to stay to balance the cost of a car

– thinking about parking/difficult of driving

– farther areas to adventure with a car
