My recommendation for a visit to Okinawa is to go nowhere. Just relax and don’t feel the need to go anywhere and do anything. The magic of Okinawa is just to enjoy the atmosphere and have no or very few plans. Then you will truly discover the simplicity and beauty of Okinawa.
@@dinameshrif6430 My pleasure. Just watch out for the Okinawan Habu, a pit viper snake. They are very bad indeed. The Habu is the only Okinawan you don’t want to meet. :)
The capital Naha is not the best place in Okinawa for beaches. If you're looking for beautiful beaches, you should head for the smaller islands that you could go by ferry boats or take a plane to go to Okinawa's secondary islands like Ishigaki for exemple.
Nippon 360 is correct on that one. I would be more critical though - main island of Okinawa is actually a bit...disappointing to downright disgusting with beaches. You can see that most of them are heavily commercialized here for the typical tourists with kids. On the other hand, smaller islands (Tokashiki is less crowded but still somewhat commercial while Zamami is almost entirely for yourself) that are easily accessible by ferry have some of the most beautiful beaches I've seen...and I've seen quite a lot, being on Canaries, Hawaii, French Polynesia to name a few :) I call it the "Tenerife syndrome", where the main island is turned into a bit of theme park and one must go for islands nearby to get that "real" experience. You can also try the secondary archipelagoes like Ishigaki (especially go for Hateruma here!) or Miyako. They are less crowded and have a slightly better weather in my opinion (not in summer though :D) :)
My advice to Japanese people, buy some vacant lands from Philippine and build some town on it. No matter what, Japan will always have frequent “too dangerous” earthquakes they always have to start over again. Maybe it’s time to find other island that don’t have as many earthquakes and typhoons.
@@hawaiimikoshi its an AI voice bud. It sounds natural for english words but obviously cant pronounce Japanese words as it wasn't built for that. Even if it was an actual white woman, I don't see why you have an issue with the pronunciation, no one can speak every language perfectly

Great piece of advice, sir.

Shurijo Castle burned to the ground in 2019 and has definitely not yet been rebuilt - would be good to mention that......
I just hang out with my families that lives there.
Nic thx
Nice
I would like to see more hisorical architectural sites...old hotels, farms, buildings, etc.
and dont miss a surfing lesson with us!! :)
good information but it would be nice to have someone narrating that could pronounce the names correctly.
I would like to know what are the most beautiful beaches in Okinawa

@@DrAhzek thank u so much for the honest, complete and helpful answer!!
Good video, but the pronunciation of the place names was off.
“Okunawa”?!

Your Narrator doesn't know how to speak the Japanese or Okinawan language. Your pronunciation is wrong.
Pretty sure it’s a computer reading it
@@leviwinters9820 I think Not. It's typical of a Caucasian English Speaker speaking a foreign language. As pronouncing all the first vowels as long.

@@hawaiimikoshi it’s clearly a computer voice
No one cares
I grimaced every time the speaker pronounced a Japanese/ Okinawan name or word. Not good.
🤣ハハハ 沖縄の人です。
Your pronunciation of Okinawa or Japanese names is totally off.
