Okinawa Travel Guide: 4 Days 3 Nights ✨✈️

#OkinawaTravel Okinawa Travel Guide 4 Days 3 Nights

Our 4-day, 3-night Okinawa trip ended perfectly. Despite the heat of September, the weather was beautiful and photogenic.
Itinerary:
Day 1: Airport to hotel, to the beach next to the hotel
Day 2: Cape Manza to Kouri Island, to the Okinawa Aquarium, Umi Churaumi, to the hotel pool
Day 3: Senaga Island to duty-free shops, to the American Village (if you don't want to go to duty-free shops, you can head to Cape Chinen in the morning and continue on to Senaga Island).
Day 4: Hotel to airport
Hotel: The Beach Tower Okinawa
Our room faced the ocean, and the ground floor had the beach and pool. American Village was only a 5-minute walk away. The breakfast buffet included pan-fried wagyu beef, and most importantly, it was very cheap. You can buy as many lotions and cleansers as you want, haha.
Getting there:
A taxi from the airport to the hotel takes 35 minutes and costs 5,400 yen.
We rented a taxi for two days, for days 2 and 3. The first day took 10 hours and cost 1,500 yen and up, and the second day took 8 hours and cost 1,200 yen and up. Attractions:

Masamo:
Although there were only a few minutes to take photos and return, the scenery was beautiful and very photogenic. If you're visiting the aquarium, you definitely should definitely stop by. If you're not, I wouldn't recommend it.

Kouri Island:
We didn't swim, so it was quite boring. We just took a few photos and then left.

Okinawa Umi Churaumi Aquarium:
It wasn't as impressive as I expected. There are many beautiful aquariums, both domestic and international. However, the underwater restaurant is still highly recommended. Pay an extra 1,000 yen for a window seat! In September, during the off-season, the line was only half an hour long. It was worth it, and the photos were great.

Senaga Island:
We arrived around 9 a.m. But many restaurants stay open until 11:00, so we didn't get to try Lucky Pancake.
We chose a restaurant with a sea view. The breeze was cool and refreshing, watching the sea and planes land. It was so relaxing! I really want to go back. I heard the sunsets are beautiful too.

Duty-free shops:
They have Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, and many other famous brands. The three of us spent the afternoon browsing.
