First, take the monorail to "Kencho-mae" station to pick up your ticket. The first train departs around 9:00 AM; I took the 12:45 train. Remember to arrive 5-10 minutes early. The train is right behind the station entrance. It's very convenient. The only downside is that, unlike in Fukuoka, you can't directly exchange your ticket at the airport terminal.
Getting on and off the bus is very convenient, and the journey is quiet, making it a great bus for resting and sightseeing. It's really fantastic! I highly recommend everyone buy one; it's really great and convenient!
A great experience, suitable for the whole family. The boat trip isn't too long, and you can see whales. The boat is very clean, and life jackets are readily available. The shuttle bus also arrives on time.
The tour guide was very nice, and everyone was punctual. There are two easy-go tours, one for central Japan and one for northern Japan, so make sure to ask for the meeting point. The tour guide will also check the passenger list before boarding. Arrive early to avoid getting on the wrong bus. Seating is assigned, so please don't sit randomly. It rained heavily on January 1st, which unfortunately prevented us from taking many good photos of the outdoor scenery. Cape Manzamo was especially beautiful, but the heavy rain made it difficult. The aquarium was nice, but it was very crowded and uncomfortable during the Japanese New Year. If you're interested in American fashion, the last stop, American Village, has many authentic and high-quality clothing items, including fan-made American comic book costumes – you'll have plenty to choose from. Therefore, one hour isn't enough time to explore American Village. If you want to explore properly, you can leave the group and take a bus back to Naha city. I recommend choosing a weekday with good weather for the entire trip; it will be perfect. Otherwise, carrying an umbrella all the time can be quite inconvenient.
