Okinawa travel guide

The main question for an Okinawa trip is whether you need to drive. Much of the island's itinerary depends on it, from how you leave Naha Airport to whether you can reach the north on public transport.

If you plan to drive, Okinawa car rental explains how to book, where the rental shuttles pick you up at Naha Airport, what documents to bring, how the Okinawa Expressway tolls work and why the return time matters.

If you would rather leave the wheel to someone else, Churaumi Aquarium without a car shows how to reach the aquarium by bus from Naha. It compares the Yanbaru Express with the local route, the airport shuttle and organised tours, and points out when the last bus heads back.
