Toeknee_33 Turbocharged December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 Returned from a 1 week trip. Drove my family around in a Serena. Spacious MPV with room for 6 of us + 2 large & 2 small luggage. Nice winter weather from 13 - 26 degC. Good Japanese & Okinawan food. Lots of interesting sights. Came back with lots of spare yen as it was cheaper than expected. Maybe also didn't spend a lot of time at the Outlet. Did you fly Jetstar? Share your itinerary leh. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon_cclau 3rd Gear July 30, 2019 Share July 30, 2019 To move around in Okinawa, renting a car is the best options. The traffic is light, parking is not an issue, road is not complicated and road users are friendly. I went there with my family and we booked a mini Suzuki MPV from Nippon Rent-a-car (https://nippon.car-rental.jp/globals/en_index/).. they will provide you the ETC card (aka toll card) which you can top up from them. The rental company will pick you up from the Airport and bring you to their office which is about 5 - 10 min drive to collect your car. Very professional and reliable I must say. We drive from Naha (stay a night in Naha) all the way to the north, stopping a night in between cities and the last night at Churaumi Aquarium hotel. Then we turn around and drive back to Naha stopping at any places that we missed out. The road are mostly along the coast line and you can stop anytime you want for POI or photo taking at the nice scenery. When you are thirsty or hungry, you can stop at any Lawson (same like our 7/11) which is easily available along the route... I must say my family enjoyed this road trip... nice scenery, nice weather, fresh air, friendly locals, nice food and adventurous! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH1667 Hypersonic August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 Any hotel recommendation for okinawa for Dec travel ? As i read, renting car will be better as we can go more places easily. How about food and attraction recommendation? Outlet? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotr 6th Gear August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 (edited) Any hotel recommendation for okinawa for Dec travel ? As i read, renting car will be better as we can go more places easily. How about food and attraction recommendation? Outlet? You mean factory outlet? Its called Ashibinaa. Not bad, can spend an afternoon there but Premium Outlets is still better. Definitely must rent a car. The attractions are scattered up and down the island. I went in Dec 2017. Will share more after I looked at my itinerary again Edited August 20, 2019 by Lotr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 Please share share too. I going end Oct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotr 6th Gear August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 Had a quick look at my itinerary and realized that I didn't really follow my plan but just a quick summary of my 7D6N trip: We stayed 2 nights in central area (Yomitan) in a AirBnB which I used as a base to visit attractions around there and further up north. Places visited were: American Village Cape Manzamo Churaumi Aquarium Kouri Beach Kaichu-Doro Nuchi-ma Salt Factory Aeon Mall Rycom After Aeon Mall Rycom, we checked in at Naha hotel for 4 nights. Places visited: Sefa Utaki Factory Outlet Whale Watching (not really recommended on hindsight as most of us got seasick and we only saw the tail of one whale coming out of water, no dramatic scenes of whales jumping out of the water) T Galleria DFS Makeshi Public Market Fish Market near Naha (can't remember the name; it was not on my itinerary) Kokusai-dori Shurijo Castle. Driving was easy except in Naha area where the back streets were narrow. I rented an Alphard but I only had to do it once. Parking was expensive in Naha. After that I returned the car, we moved around Naha on foot and metro. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
