Im (23m) visiting Okinawa from June 19 -24. Staying in the Naha region. Anyone have tips, advice, or provide clarification about the following topics?
-
I barely know any Japanese besides the basics to practice etiquette (I.e hello, thank you, excuse me, etc). I’ve heard that the language is slightly different Okinawa but I could be misunderstanding. Could someone enlighten me?
-
Are there foreign friendly places to socialize? Would be great to meet people or even explore together if possible
-
How’s the weather currently? I’m looking at my app and it’s looks to be raining. Of course, it’s expected given it’s monsoon season.
-
Highly recommended things to do around the Naha region? I recognize not having a car will limit my access to many parts of the island since the transit system isn’t as large as mainland Japan. I’m willing to walk up to 40 mins to areas if that’s an option.
-
Any miscellaneous information would be highly appreciated!
