Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

John was our guide for this trip! He's very funny and interesting, and even speaks a little Chinese to chat with us. During the tour, we stopped at Lai Nagashima for a short while to quietly enjoy the beautiful sunshine, sky, and sea. The stunning view of Okinawa was right before our eyes, and we could even see planes landing from time to time – it was truly beautiful! If you want to experience go-karting in Okinawa, you must choose Street Kart Okinawa 👍🏻👍🏻. Plus, we received some printed photos and the digital files of all the photos taken almost immediately after we returned. It was absolutely perfect!

On my last night in Okinawa, I participated in a very exciting activity through Klook. A guide from Chile drove a three-wheeled motorcycle, taking the three of us through Naha City at night. On the road to Naha Airport, the traffic was sparse, and we floored the accelerator to enjoy the thrill of extreme speed. Pedestrians on the streets of Naha smiled and waved at us, making us feel the kindness of the locals. Tourists from other places also curiously took pictures of us, which felt refreshing. Overall, for such an affordable price, it was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this activity to anyone interested. As a sign of encouragement, don't hesitate to tip the responsible and humorous local guide.

I stumbled upon this tour yesterday! Booked it for today! The owner is super nice and even helps with taking photos. If you don't have a driver's license, you can ride in the owner's tuk-tuk 🛺, which is a great experience! It was too hot today, otherwise, the store also offers cute outfits to change into. So Good.

You can directly add the store's Line account, and they will speak Chinese with you. You can also book your desired time slot with them. The owner is very nice and highly recommended! Although the vehicle is noisy, it's a unique experience!

Buy on the spot and activate immediately! Very convenient. The one-day pass with unlimited rides is very convenient. 2. Consider whether the places you want to visit are near the light rail station for more convenience. If you take the bus more often and travel further, consider a one-day bus pass, which can be purchased at the visitor center (bus terminal). 3. If you have a Suica card installed on your Apple phone, you must show the ticket to the station staff directly. Direct scanning may cause card issues.

So much fun! Make sure to wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. The staff provides a very detailed explanation before the activity and pays close attention to everyone's safety during the rafting. After reaching the finish line and getting ashore, there are hot showers available, and you can even grab a zongzi to satisfy your hunger.
Highly recommend white water rafting when you visit Hualien!

I visited Hong Kong Disneyland recently, and the experience was both magical and surprisingly relaxing. After spending a full day there, I realized that Hong Kong Disneyland has its own unique charm, and it offers a very balanced mix of excitement, comfort, and Disney magic. In this review, I want to share my personal experience in a simple and honest way, from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.
I started the day early, taking the MTR to Sunny Bay and then switching to the Disney Resort Line. Even the train ride felt special. The Mickey-shaped windows, the statues of Disney characters inside the train, and the cheerful music set the mood for the day. It made me feel like I was entering a different world—one that reminded me of childhood excitement.

This American Village one-day bus pass is perfect for travelers who don't drive. I departed at 9:00 AM and returned at 3:00 PM, which was plenty of time.
Remember to arrive 10 minutes early at the Lea Lea bus stop (a few minutes' walk from Kencho-mae Station), show your QR Code, and the staff will verify your name and provide you with a schedule and a map of American Village (I basically just wandered around and didn't find it too difficult to navigate). The departure was also very punctual (45 minutes), and the arrival time was accurate to the second, even accounting for traffic. Japanese service is truly attentive.
The driver was also amazing. Since it was raining that day, there were umbrellas on the bus. The driver thoughtfully handed umbrellas to passengers as they got off.
After arriving, I went to Depot Island for breakfast. They didn't have the sea grape option, so I had bitter melon instead, which was a little bittersweet and very unique. Then I went to Aeon to browse the supermarket and Daiso, and also had a morning tea at Mr. Donut. This shop is very popular, I saw everyone buying a lot.
After returning to American Village, I wandered around some more and had the taco rice that was recommended online. I ordered the basic omelet version, with a good balance of lettuce and tomato, which tasted very fresh and not too heavy. I paired it with non-alcoholic Orion beer; even if you don't drink alcohol, you can try the famous local beer.
After walking around a bit more, I went to the drop-off point to wait for the return bus. We arrived back at Kencho-mae before 4:00 PM. You can plan to have dinner and stroll around Kokusai Street. If you want to travel in a relaxed and leisurely way, you can consider this plan.

Very good value shuttle bus return service despite long duration journey of 2.5-3 hours one way! Make sure you redeem your ticket voucher at Naha Bus office inside the Naha Domestic Terminal as soon as you clear immigration!
