Any trip to Okinawa starts with the sea! After lunch at Kokusai-dori, board a cruiser and go whale watching. Because humpback whales migrate to the warm Okinawa sea in winter, there’s an over 90% chance that you’ll see them. Hearing the whale’s calls and seeing them blow water in front of your very eyes is truly outstanding. You’ll surely realize the rich nature of Okinawa’s sea during this time.
In the morning, visit World Cultural Heritage site “Sefa-utaki,” a sacred place within the Ryukyu Kingdom. Then, experience powered paragliding. You will surely be moved by the blue coral reefs that stretch in front of your eyes. At night, take a stroll and have dinner on Senaga Island’s Umikaji Terrace. It’s also fun to take pictures with your dessert on the pure white steps!
Enjoy shopping for souvenirs in the morning in the shops around Mihama American Village. Tour “Ryukyu Mura” in the afternoon. Enjoy wearing traditional Ryukyu clothing and painting shisa (lion dogs) in an unique to Okinawa experience. Afterward is a sunset sea kayaking adventure at Okinawa’s very own Malibu Beach. While listening to the gentle sound of waves, watch the moment that the sun sets upon the horizon.
Enjoy cooking a homemade meal while chatting with an Okinawan mother. Learn how to make traditional cuisine like Soki soup and bitter melon stir-fry that have helped to support a long lifespan in Okinawa. After lunch, experience traditional Okinawan Ryukyu glass making in Onna. It’s important to blow slowly but strongly in order to make the shape. The original Ryukyu glass will become a memorable part of your trip.
On the final day, head to Kise from the morning and enjoy golfing at a course with an ocean view. Shooting rounds of golf while feeling the sea breeze is refreshing. Enjoy a meal made with Okinawan ingredients at the golf club’s restaurant. Afterwards, head straight to the airport by bus. Don’t forget to look for some final souvenirs at the airport.
