Hello everyone! I am going to Okinawa with two friends next weekend and am looking for some advice. Some context here, we are American tourists. One of us has been to Japan before and lived in Tokyo, the other two have not been to Japan. I am Okinawan from my father’s side, but don’t know much about the culture. We are coming straight from America to Okinawa, only a layover at Haneda airport.
Our main goal is to get from Naha City to the aquarium on our first full day. I’ve looked at the transit options, seems like we’ll have to suck up the 3 hour ride (we will survive lol). We really wanted to go to the beach, but I’m not sure how plausible that is with the rainy weather (any advice is really appreciated). Our second day, we were planning on going into Naha City and exploring.
Does anyone have any suggestions for utilizing the transit system the best way possible? Also any activities that show off the island’s nature even when it’s raining? (or just rainy day activities in general)
