I rode all the way down from the rental site to outlets, cafes, and watched planes take off and land. The bike is quite comfortable to ride, and it also has electricity to help ride uphill.

The one-day tour itinerary is very easy and comfortable. There is a Chinese explanation on the car. It is very clear. You can go to 4 scenic spots in one time. It also comes with tickets to the aquarium, which has a high CP value.

The Stone in the Rain is worth visiting, but it is not found in many places. The itinerary we arranged was just right for every attraction, and the car was very comfortable.

If you are a non-self-driving traveler in Okinawa, this itinerary is very suitable. You may also be able to use public transportation at the Pokémon Center or Parco, but the northern itinerary will be more troublesome. The tickets for this itinerary have been bought for you, and there are tour buses throughout the transportation. The only drawback of driver pick-up is that the stay time at some places is short, which is a pity, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, you have to make choices if you want to squeeze all the itineraries into the same day. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. The tour guide this time was also very kind, and his introduction was fluent in Japanese and English. It would be even better if he could also speak Chinese!
