Nice! I went to the main island in Okinawa in the winter years ago, and despite a lot of cloudy weather I really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of visiting Ishigaki this winter.
Turquoise or Tiffany blue. Thank you for providing the name of the hotel. Do you think it will be difficult to enjoy the island without a car? Are taxis common on the island?
I think it will be much easier with a car, but if you are staying at a big resort like Tokyu Resort or Hilton, you can just spend time in the hotel once you get there. From Miyakojima airport, Tokyu has shuttle bus.
for a whole month i've looked at the live camera's for naha and miyako and ishigaki and the weather always seems better on miyako and ishigaki. Thats for the month of may in 2022. It will be pouring rain in naha and only a little cloudy further south. Maybe its something only this year? If its that way every year, i'de say the weather is better there in winter and summer
Yes, it happened several times to me that Miyako is sunny even when Naha is raining. It looked like it was raining all the time in Okinawa this May. Usually Okinawa's rainy season is from mid May to late June, but it started early this year. The best season is said that later April or July before typhoon season starts, but it's just possibility. In my experience, sometimes it's sunny even if the weather app says it's raining where I am, sometimes beach is sunny when Naha is raining. It's difficult to predict the weather in Okinawa, while the weather is so important for Okinawa trip. :(
Hello Kengo-san! Great video! I live in Okinawa. I just subscribed to your channel too. I did a video island hopping 7 Okinawa Islands in 7 days, called Making it Count, if your interested. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Hello Mark san, sorry I didn't notice this comment for a long time. I watched your fitness video in Okinawa and that looked so much fun! I'll definitely check that videos too. Thank you for letting me know!
@@tokyokenchan Hello Kengo-san! Thank you for the reply! Your new video about shopping is great information too. I like to shop at Daiso ¥100 shop! Haha 😄. Have a great day!
Can you snorkel in early December? I read one website which says that snorkelling shops provide wet suits. But I am unsure how warm those can keep you in winter
I didn't take any snorkelling tour in this trip but I read that you can do snorkeling all around the year in Miyakojima. If you have wet suites, you don't really feel the temparature of cold water.
Wasn't that cold this day. And water was warm. I'm not good at cold water (like I never go in to cold bath after sauna) but I could go in easily. Usually, it might be a little too cold in winter.
Same, once it gets below 22 C degrees, I normally don't bother. Guess as you say, it depends on what the day is like. Thanks for the heads up.@@tokyokenchan
Waw.. it looks pretty warm for a December. 😊 looks like a great destination to escape winter!
Thank you for watching. It can depend on the weather and islands, but it can be warm like this too. :)

Hi Can i ask what phone did you use for this video? It looks pretty sharp!
Hi, I think it was iPhone 13 pro. Thank you for asking. :)
Was the water very cold?
No. Not cold.
Can you snorkel in early December? I read one website which says that snorkelling shops provide wet suits. But I am unsure how warm those can keep you in winter

Hi how long rides from Airport in Japan to miyako Island Airport
Hi. It's a little more than 3 hours from Tokyo and about 2 hours and 30 minutes from Osaka. Thank you for asking!
What is the music in the end of the video called? Its very smoothing
Thank you. It's a free BGM ua-cam.com/video/CNH47kqYLiI/v-deo.html
@@tokyokenchan Thank you Ken!! 有難うございます！
Was it kind of (too) chilly to swim?

5:22 Apple Blue Sea Green
That's a nice color name! 😄
@@tokyokenchan celadon blue green. i specialize in that color ; )
'Turquoise' is the most common description of water like that
May I check with you if the water warm enough to go in during dec ?
Hello. The water is not warm enough during winter, probably not a good season for bathing at the beach from December to March.
Thank you so much for getting back to me! Really helpful !
@@laucharing503 san, I hope you have a great time in Okinawa (if you go) !
