Is Okinawa fun?

Whether Okinawa is worth going to can be explained by two points. First, if you are looking at the island scenery, Okinawa is not a particularly good choice. Because in Japan, Okinawa is a county, that is, a province. Although it is an island, it has a large land area. It's better to think of it as Hainan Island in China. Therefore, the really beautiful and cool seascape is in the outlying islands of Okinawa (that is, the surrounding islands with beautiful and cool seascape), and marine sightseeing projects such as snorkeling are also carried out in the outlying islands.

Okinawa is a particularly large island, and the distance from one scenic spot to another is also very long. Land transportation is inconvenient, there are almost no trams, so you can only rely on buses or self-driving. Therefore, traveling in Okinawa is not suitable for free travel, but more suitable for go on road trip, or joining a group after arrival. So Okinawa is not convenient for travelers without Japanese driver's license.

Moreover, if you go to the outlying islands from Okinawa, the cost will be very high, because the distance is very long, and in some cases you need to fly. To sum up, compared with the island-type tourist destinations such as Saipan or Phuket, Okinawa does not have a price advantage. Therefore, from the perspective of island sightseeing, it is not recommended to go to Okinawa.

So under what circumstances is Okinawa worth going?

Simply put, it is more suitable for travelers who want to apply for a three-year multiple-entry visa to Japan to go to Okinawa. I have been to Japan before, and if I stay in Okinawa within three years 1 night, I can get a three-year multiple-visit visa to Japan. This kind of visa has a low threshold and requires an annual income of about 654.38+million RMB, which can be handled with certain other economic foundation certificates. For a three-year multiple-entry visa to Japan, you can stay in Okinawa 1 night, or you can stay in six counties in northeastern Japan (Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata and Fukushima) 1 night. Six counties in northeastern Japan were the places where major earthquakes occurred before, so Okinawa is the best choice in terms of safety. To apply for a three-year multiple-entry visa, take Okinawa as the stop, one is to ensure safety, and the other is to ensure the over-signing rate of the visa.
