American Village

Taking a tour bus is comfortable; you just need to arrive at the meeting point on time. However, the downside is that there are only three round trips per day.

Our northern day trip was guided by Mr. Huang. He was easy to spot from the very beginning at the meeting point and helped us confirm that other registered members could choose seats closer to each other. Although it rained on the day of the meeting, it stopped raining as we approached the attractions, which was very lucky. His introductions to the attractions were incredibly detailed, covering everything from individual sites to the overall characteristics of Okinawa. Later, he kept recommending delicious food, which made our mouths water. We couldn't help but ask him which restaurants were the best, haha. If you're not in a rush, American Village is a great place for photos; I recommend stopping there to take some pictures. You can get off at American Village and take bus number 20 back around 8:30 PM. I suggest arriving early to wait for the bus. You pick up a ticket on board and pay with coins at the correct number when you get off. In conclusion, I found the day trip itinerary to be very convenient for a first-time visitor to Okinawa.

The itinerary was perfectly arranged, the whole process was very comfortable, and the tour guide was very kind.

The entire group was almost entirely composed of Taiwanese tourists. I recommend sitting in the first row on the left; you can see the sea, and it's easier to get off the bus there. Ocean Expo Park has many free attractions, and with the beautiful sea, three hours isn't really enough 🤣 But given the travel time, overall it was a fantastic experience!

My first time riding a double-decker open-air bus 🚌 The view was great, and the tour guide on board was beautiful and tall!
