I'm finishing off 3 weeks travelling around Japan with 4 nights in Okinawa, and am trying to find I think an impossible place that "has it all". So please help me decide which fits my wants best.
I'm looking for a super peaceful/idyllic setting, beautiful beach you can swim/snorkel in, that isn't too remote as to not have many restaurants or be hard to get to the airport from. My stay only being 4 nights, I don't want to spend too much stress/time getting to or from there. Less important but would like, is to have something to do if the weather is no good, and some nice hotels to stay in
I've considered:
– Ishigaki (but the more beautiful beaches seem more remote in the North, plus the journey home would involve a transfer to Naha)
– Naha Naminoue beach, main island, and doing at least 2 day trips to zamami/tokashiki (but this isn't the relaxing "stay" I had in mind)
– Tokashiki/Zamami, but hotel stays seem very sparse, basic and expensive.
– Nago/ Maeda, main island (bit far from Naha so day trips to Zamami not as easy, but supposed to be nice)
– Chura Sun-beach area: unsure how peaceful and pretty the beach is
I think I'm closest to Ishigaki, or Naha Naminoue, or split Naha Naminoue 2 nights, 2 nights Nago.. So all of them…
Any help much appreciated.
