－ Itinerary Introduction －

  • Niraikanai Bridge

Niraikanai Bridge is a poetic mountain highway bridge that winds its way down, connecting the valley to the coast. Famous for its magnificent scenery and curved lines, driving across it feels like traveling between tropical greenery and the deep blue ocean. Overlooking from the bridge, you can take in the sparkling, vast East China Sea, which is especially breathtaking on sunny days or at dusk. In the Okinawan language, NIRAIKANAI means 'utopia,' a place where gods are said to reside, giving this bridge cultural and spiritual significance. Enjoy the scenery along the way from the car and experience the atmosphere of this southern utopia.

  • Cape Chinen Park

Located in the southern part of Okinawa's main island, Cape Chinen Park is one of the best spots to enjoy the magnificent Pacific Ocean view. Lush green lawns extend to the coast, weaving a dreamlike landscape with the azure sea. On clear days, you can even see Kudaka Island and the endless horizon where the sea meets the sky.
