What season is the best time to travel to Okinawa?

1. Generally speaking, it is recommended to go to Chongteng in the summer. This is the best time to travel to Okinawa and the best time to go to sea in Okinawa. However, there are many tourists during this time, not only from foreign countries. Tourists, even Japanese, often choose to vacation in Okinawa at this time. Therefore, accommodation is in short supply and all kinds of expenses are rising. June and September are around the peak season. There are not as many tourists as during the peak season, accommodation is not so tight, and the sea water temperature is still suitable for going to the sea. It is a very good time to travel. In addition, July and August are in the typhoon period, and there is a risk of encountering typhoons.

2. The period from October to May of the following year is not suitable for water activities, but there are fewer tourists, so you can enjoy it more leisurely, and the cost is much cheaper than in the peak season. Late December to early April is still the best time to watch humpback whales, and the probability of seeing a humpback whale is as high as 90%. Okinawa is the earliest place in Japan where you can view cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms enter their flowering season in mid-February every year.
