Okinawa Travel Guide: 6 Days and 5 Nights Self-Driving Tour of Beaches and Islands

Originally, the wealthy family had planned to go to Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, Thailand, but they were frightened by the sudden earthquake in Bangkok. The low-cost airline was unable to change the tickets, which was really a pity. As time was running out, they quickly booked a flight to nearby Okinawa to seize the last holiday opportunity to travel.

Highlights of the itinerary

Children's itinerary: snorkeling, beach, Okinawa's former naval headquarters

Big friend itinerary: Okinawa outlying islands, anime warehouse (laughs)

Self-driving car rental

This time I rented a car at OTS Rinku Toyosaki Office and returned it. The model I rented was a hybrid car, the TOYOTA PRIUS. The main driving route was to Aodo in the north, Ikei Island in the east, Obu Island in the south, and Senaga Island in the west. I drove a total of 236 kilometers. I rented it for 4 days and drove a total of 236 kilometers. When I returned the car, the gas fee was 2,800 yen, less than NT$600, which should be considered quite fuel-efficient.

Okinawa snorkeling, beaches

One of the main goals of this trip to Okinawa is to snorkel and play on all the beaches in Okinawa, but it's April now! The water temperature is a bit cold. This is the second time for Xiao Fu to snorkel. Fu is very proud to say that Xiao Fu has become better at swimming. The beach in Okinawa is really beautiful. If you have the opportunity to go there and play in the waves, you will not be disappointed.

Sunrise and sunset

The rich family watched the sunrise at AJ Ikeijima Resort Hotel and the beautiful sunset at Senaga Island. It was really a great experience and I recommend it to all my friends.

sunrise

Watching the sunrise at the beach of Ikei Island in eastern Okinawa at around 5 o'clock in the morning is really an exciting activity. It was the first time for the rich man to watch the sunrise in Japan, and he was not disappointed.

Sunset

Watch the sunset and planes take off and land on Senaga Island.

rich man experience

This time I took advantage of the April holiday to go to Okinawa. I didn't arrange the popular international tour, but chose to drive by myself, circumnavigating the central and southern parts of Okinawa, and visited several unique islands. I experienced a journey full of holiday atmosphere. Unfortunately, the water temperature in Okinawa in April is low, so it is not a good time to play in the water. Many hotels' water facilities are still under maintenance, but no one is in charge of the beach, so you can still go surfing. It's still good to pay attention to safety.
