Okinawa is known for the beautiful beach resorts, but you can also see lots of deep cutlure in foods and artcrafts. In this video, I introduce you to the beautiful Okinawa, and show you how to get around, how to choose hotels, and tips to enjoy the travel in Okinawa.

    A fun fact about Okinawa: a majority of Nikkei in Peru have roots in Okinawa. I believe that is also true in Brazil.

    First time I seen Okinawa I was excited in 1968! Landed at Kadena and taken to Camp Hansen (Kin Village)! Ended up spending 2 years and none of the hotels were there! We seen the island on motor cycle and the roads were all dirt roads and paths! What a beautiful island and I loved it. Last time I was there for only one year was in 1983!

  • @KevinandDayle
    @KevinandDayle ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks! Another great video with comprehensive information! And in our opinion your comments at the end of it where extremely good and in total agreement with other TH-camrs we watch! The one thing that makes your video especially good is that a viewer can get all the helpful information in one video, rather than having to watch many videos. It might be better if you could experiment with the recording of sound on-site or balance the sound more when editing. We not visiting Okinawa soon we will certainly look to your video as a resource when the time comes. Please continue your good work!

    • @tokyokenchan
      @tokyokenchan  ปีที่แล้ว

      Kevin san, Dayle san, thank you again for your support for the video. I didn't know other TH-camrs were saying the same thing about Okinawa trip. I'm glad more and more people are talking about Okinawa. :) Also, thank you for letting me know about the sound issue. I made in the same way as I made Tokyo video, and somehow it had lots of wind sound (wind blew in Tokyo too) and this is the version I fixed several times, but I definitely need more study and better equipment.😅 Thank you for bearing with me and watching!

    Thanks Ken Chan for another video update on the JR pass.

This way, we can take advantage of the current lower rate before October 2023. We enjoy watching your videos and the helpful information you provide.

Never been to Asia before, so its going to be fun!

    Greetings from Singapore, I've subcribed to your videos and had always enjoyed watching all of your sharing..I've just returned from Japan just 2days ago after staying visiting for a month. We did sapporo, noboribetsu,lake toya, hakodate, otaru, asahikawa, biel, furano, osaka, kyoto, kanazawa, toyama, kurobe gorge..karuizawa, tokyo...had almost wanted to stay forever 😍... What I liked most about your videos are they're your personal views. And the history behind it are so interesting!! Unlike many other videis, too much of promotional video included.
    Seeing this video, I'm going to visit Okinawa in June 2024. Warm? Will it be enough to cover the whole place for a month? I plan on renting a car like you to drive about.

      Thank you for watching from Singapore and subscribing. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your trip in Japan. It seems you could visit many different areas in a month. Thank you also for the comment about my videos. This Okinawa video is one of my favorite and I hope I can make more of these across Japan. Okinawa can be rainy season until late June but I heard it's not like raining all the time and it can be super beautiful if it gets sunny. If you have a month, I think it would be great to visit other islands such as Kerama, Miyakojima. :)

      Thank you for watching. :) The highest is around 20 degree celsius in February. If it's ok that beach or outdoor pools are not open yet for swimming, I think you can enjoy the stay. It's good to enjoy hotel stay, Naha, attractions like aquarium. Motobu is near the aquarium. Far away from the airport but a beautiful place. :) Hope you come up with a great plan to Okinawa.

    Thank you for the video. We plan to visit Okinawa this August. We are interested a lot in nature and animals. Where would you recommend to see the sea turtles? Reading about Okinawa it also seems like dangerous animals are everywhere ( box jellyfish, stonefish, lion fish etc. In the sea and dangerous snakes and spiders in the nature), how do you see reality in this regard ? Would you have another recommendation ? Thank you.

    • @tokyokenchan

      Yes, the time I filmed this video was exactly the 3rd week of April, so as you see it's warm enough. If you enjoy bathing in water, May might be a little more comfortable but April can be more sunnier (depends on the year). I wish you the best Okinawa trip. 😄⛱️
