Thank you for the comment! I don’t have any videos currently on living on vs. off base but I will say, as someone who’s spent most of my life on base housing, I am team off base all of the way! We currently live off base & it has been great for us. My husband loves the separation from the base because he feels like on base is his “work life” and off base is when he can disconnect. I also love the options of off base housing much more than on base. Mostly importantly, living on base forces you to venture out, try local places, and immerse more in the culture. A lot of my videos that focus on life here in Okinawa kind of feature our apartment so you can get a little idea what it’s like to live off base but I tell everyone that I recommend off base if you can☺️ I hope this helps!
@@KatieLambie thank you so much this helps :) we are looking forward to moving there in May! How was finding you're waitress job? That's what im thinking I'll go back to when we are there, since im putting my career here in the states on hold! Thanks so much ❣️
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing your itinerary, just curious does Okinawa uses a lot of cash payments or card payment? Am going in April so just wanna estimate how much cash to bring over. Thank you in advance!!
Sorry for the late response! Both are widely accepted but I would always have cash on hand because there are places (like the soba place in the video) where it is cash only. I would recommend having a handy 10,000¥ just in case!
There is usually free parking depending on where you are going but in Naha we usually do pay for parking. It’s not much but I always bring cash for that reason🙂

What a great 2-day itinerary for beautiful Okinawa. The gracious hosts played a vital role. Russ Approves!
Thank you Russ! We need to get you your own “Russ Approves” channel😂
Love your videos as someone who is pcsing there! Would love to see a video about living there, if you're on or off base. We are torn!
