What do you need to know when traveling to Okinawa for the first time?

The weather is getting hotter, and everyone seems to prefer to travel to islands and have close contact with the sea. Okinawa is not only "Oriental Hawaii", there are also many stars here, such as the super popular Yui Aragaki, so whether you want to see Yui Aragaki's hometown or just for a vacation, it is worth coming. However, due to the special nature of Okinawa, if you come without any preparation, there is a high probability that you will be disappointed. Therefore, today I mainly want to tell you some things to note when visiting Okinawa for the first time. I hope it can be of any help to you.

First of all, travel mode is the issue that everyone is most concerned about! The scenic spots in Okinawa are widely spread out, and it is unrealistic if you want to walk all the way on your own feet. However, the buses in Okinawa are really troublesome and there are few. I guess it’s because the people who travel here are all Japanese, and there may be more people driving here, so they don’t have much demand since it’s convenient here. If we talk about taking a taxi, it is well known that taxi fares in Japan can be described as "sky-high". A journey of about ten minutes is nearly 90 yuan. This kind of taxi is only suitable for the rich.

To sum up, there are only two recommended ways to travel to Okinawa: chartered car or self-driving. Chinese people need an international driver's license to rent a car and drive in Okinawa. This method is recommended for friends who have an international driver's license. As for chartered cars, I think there are more choices. Currently, many travel agencies on the Internet have chartered car programs, and there are also semi-independent tours. If you don’t want to bother yourself, you can consider semi-independent tours. Each attraction is clearly arranged for you, and there are still two days for you to make your own plans.

Okinawa is actually a place suitable for family travel. The service here is good, and it will not be noisy in public places. When friends go to Okinawa with their children, the hotel attendants and drivers will help every time they go out. Ninety-five percent of hotels and restaurants prepare special tableware for children, and some even provide small gifts. Many attractions are also suitable for taking children. No wonder so many schools in Japan choose to come to Okinawa for organized activities.

As for accommodation, if you choose to stay in a B&B, you must stay in a qualified B&B. When checking in, you should also observe the location of the escape routes. In fact, whether you are staying at home or abroad, you must Observe where the escape routes are. At night, especially if a girl encounters a stranger knocking on the door, do not open the door. If you have any questions, call the landlord or the hotel front desk directly. When going out for fun, it’s best to lock your valuables in a box or take them with you!

Finally, because Japan has a typhoon season, you should avoid the typhoon season when traveling, which is usually more common in August and September.

OK! There are probably so many things to note when traveling to Okinawa. If you like this guide, please share it!
