1. Shuri Castle and More! 10 Places to Visit in Naha and Nanjo

While famous as one of Japan’s premier resort destinations, Okinawa offers far more than just beautiful beaches. For 450 years, it thrived as the independent Ryukyu Kingdom, developing a vibrant culture distinct from mainland Japan.

Today, that heritage blends uniquely with modern American influences stemming from the local U.S. military presence.

Geographically, Okinawa Island is divided into three main regions: the North, Central, and South.

The Southern area serves as the gateway to the prefecture, housing Naha Airport as well as the municipalities of Naha, Tomigusuku, Itoman, Nanjo, Haebaru, Yonabaru, and Yaese.

Okinawa Souvenirs and Local Specialties

Next, we’ll introduce our three recommendations for signature Okinawan souvenirs.

1. Chinsuko

Chinsuko is a traditional cookie representative of Okinawa. There has been a recent increase in flavor variations over the past few years. Chinsuko is now sold in flavors such as chocolate and matcha green tea in addition to standard flavors such as brown sugar or salt.

2. Beniimo Tart

Beniimo tart is made with purple sweet potatoes, an Okinawan specialty. The unique, subtle sweetness of purple sweet potatoes and their dense texture are loved by many. In addition to chinsuko cookies, it has become one of the most famous sweets in Okinawa.

Okashi Goten, famous for their delicious beniimo tarts, is a shop we recommend given the numerous options available! You can get your hands on their products at souvenir shops and airports in Okinawa.

3. Awamori

Awamori is a traditional distilled alcohol made with rice as the base ingredient. It has a rich, mellow fragrance and strong sweetness. You can delight in this alcoholic beverage at restaurants in Okinawa or purchase it at souvenir shops in the airport.

Stay at a Hotel in Okinawa

An Okinawa trip will be filled with activities from heading to the beach, shopping, and nature activities. Our recommendation is to book a stay for two to three nights.

If you are on Okinawa Island, then let’s find a hotel that matches the purpose of your Okinawa trip. For instance, stay at a hotel in the Southern area if you want to enjoy shopping, in the Central area for the beach, or the Northern area for nature activities.

There are also several wonderful accommodations where you can experience Okinawa’s lush nature on islands outside the mainland, including Ishigaki or Taketomi Island. Use Booking.com or Agoda to find the best hotel for you!

Transportation in Okinawa (Airplane, Monorail, Bus, Rental Car)

Located in central Okinawa, Naha City has a robust public transportation system. With the monorail and buses available, you can enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa without driving.

On the other hand, we recommend renting a car if you’re traveling with children or prefer more spontaneous trips. Please choose the transportation method that best fits your traveling style.

Airplane

The primary gateway to Okinawa Prefecture is Naha Airport. If you are traveling internationally, direct flights to Naha are primarily available from major cities across Asia.

Travelers arriving from Western countries typically fly into Japan's main international hubs—such as Haneda or Narita in Tokyo, Kansai in Osaka, or Chubu Centrair in Nagoya—before taking a quick domestic connection to Okinawa.

Once you arrive, you can catch domestic flights to explore the southern remote islands, though direct routes to destinations like Ishigaki and Miyakojima are also available from mainland Japan.

Monorail

The transportation system most sightseers use first when traveling to Naha is the Okinawa Urban Monorail (nicknamed Yui Rail).

It is Okinawa Prefecture’s only railway, traveling from Naha Airport Station in the south to Tedako-Uranishi Station in the north. It’s a convenient and speedy transportation option for those who plan to only travel within Naha.

If you are going to ride the monorail several times a day, it would be a great deal to purchase either the One Day Pass (800 yen) or the Two Day Pass (1,400 yen) for unlimited rides.

Transportation IC cards such as Suica, ICOCA, and PASMO can be used on the monorail. To reload currency onto your IC card, you can conveniently do it at station ticket offices and convenience stores.

Bus

Various buses operate mainly in Naha, Okinawa, such as the Okinawa Bus and Naha Bus (Japanese).

The Naha Bus sells a one-day bus pass (660 yen) that can be used for unlimited rides within the flat fare section of Naha. If you want to travel to other remote areas from Naha, then take the intercity bus or express bus from Naha Bus Terminal next to Asahibashi Station.

Rental Car

We recommend renting a car to enjoy your Okinawa sightseeing more flexibly if you can drive.

MATCHA has an exclusive 10% discount coupon for international visitors when renting a vehicle from Nippon Rent-A-Car, one of Japan's leading rental car companies (support available in English, Chinese, and Thai). Please be sure to check it out!

Do note that you may not be able to reserve a car since it has become popular in recent years to travel around Okinawa by rental car. Those who want to travel by rental car should make their reservations early.

Places offering free Wi-Fi in Japan are limited. Therefore, international visitors will find it handy to rent a pocket Wi-Fi device during their travels.

MATCHA has a coupon for NINJA WiFi (English) that gets you a great discount of 20% off! Please take advantage of this offer.

Book a pocket Wi-Fi reservation at NINJA WiFi

Enjoy Your Trip to Okinawa!

Okinawa is one of the most popular resorts in Japan. No wonder it's jam-packed with things to do and see! There are gorgeous ocean views, shopping, nature-rich activities, and historical spots for you to experience the Ryukyu Kingdom!

Okinawa offers more than your typical sightseeing spots. Make your way to remote islands and other destinations you’ve never been to before!
