Our journey takes us to Naha, the bustling capital of Okinawa Prefecture, renowned for its rich history, cultural heritage, and stunning landscapes. It's day 113 of our adventure around the world, and Okinawa offers a captivating blend of scenic beauty and historical depth.
Our exploration begins with an overnight sail from Ishigaki, arriving early to discover Okinawa's myriad attractions. The logistics of getting into the city from the dock are straightforward, with options including taxis and shuttles, showcasing the island's efficient infrastructure.
One of our first stops is the monorail ride through Naha, offering a unique perspective of the city from above. The ease of navigating the monorail, with ticket machines in English, makes it an excellent way for travelers to explore.

As we delve deeper into Naha, we're enchanted by the local culture, from the traditional attire of Japanese girls to the innovative architecture and historical sites. The city's all-direction crosswalks, convenient public transportation, and bustling marketplaces offer a glimpse into the daily life of Okinawans.

I’ve been so looking forward to your stop in Okinawa. We lived there while my husband was a pilot in the Marine Corps. So many good times and such a beautiful island. Thanks for taking me along.
So cool! While walking the streets on a few occasions we had military jets fly in the air in formation. We saw quite a few young military men and women on the streets.
My dad was a marine stationed in Okinawa in the 70’s. It looks like a beautiful island. Also, cute pants that you picked up😊

The towns look a bit 'meh' but the images of the coastline and beaches (in season) look fab - they are going to have to go some to compete with Hawaii tho! Another fascinating glimpse into lives we'd never see - thank you!

Many Japanese doesn’t need to travel far to Hawaii to reach an American island. Just 3 hour flight from Tokyo they visit Guam 🇬🇺🇺🇸
