I had a really fun time kayaking. It was an exciting experience watching the waves on the sea at sunset. I want to ride it again if I get the chance.

The Chinese driver was very punctual. We only queued for two places. The driver was kind but not enthusiastic and did not introduce the scenery along the way unless we asked ourselves. After getting on the bus, we went straight to the Churaumi Aquarium, enjoying the pleasant scenery along the way. The world's largest aquarium replicates the water quality and temperature of the Kuroshio Current, the world's largest ocean current. It contains large whale sharks, multiple manta rays and other migratory fish, which is eye-catching. There are also turtle and dolphin shows outdoors. The second stop was to go to the Ocean Tower of Kouri Island. Climb up to the observatory and look out. The endless sea view is amazing!

It's very convenient, cheaper than buying on the spot. Ryukyu Village allows you to experience the local culture and have performances to watch. The inside is not big, 1-2 hours is enough.

Cute Okinawa parent-child attraction! In addition to the animal area, there are also small trains and indoor play areas. Children have a lot of fun on rainy days~!

It was very good except for the fact that it was very windy and rained a little here and there. In particular, our guide, Mio-san, was very kind and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. I recommend it to people like me who are traveling to Okinawa alone or who think renting a car is a hassle~

This is a very well managed spot showcasing Ryuku livelihood and cultural heritage. The folk song and drums performance is a must
