Hi! I'm visiting Japan for the first time in mid April. I'm trying to not overload my itinerary but I might've underpacked it now. My grandmother is from Okinawa so I wanted to focus mostly on spiritual and historical sites. I am a tourist and I don't speak Japanese, but I'd like to avoid overcrowded or overhyped tourist traps. For Okinawa, I'm staying in Naha and Kyoto I'm staying near Gion. I'm only using public transport and taxis for both. I'm a little worried about this for Okinawa, my main question is my Day 2 and Day 4 possible to do by taxi? Also any restuarant recs would be super appreciated!
