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.

Fantastic 5.0
The three of us caught nearly 20 fish, and we couldn't even finish them all. The captain wasn't as fierce as some reviews suggested; it seemed more like a language barrier. He immediately helped replace broken lines and damaged equipment. At the end, he smiled, waved, and said goodbye. The only slight drawback was the nearby restaurant he recommended, where we waited an hour for our food, but processing fish is inherently time-consuming, so it's understandable.

The selected date didn't have enough people and the tour was canceled, but customer service actively contacted me and gave me other date options. I really wanted to fish, so I still went fishing on the morning of my departure! The Sanchong Port Wharf is near the airport, so I was able to make it to the airport in time. The fishing spot is very close to the airport, so you can constantly see planes taking off. The captain and a young man on the boat were both very nice!! The initial spot didn't have any fish, so they took us to another location to find fish. The young man, seeing that I was fishing alone and worried I wouldn't catch anything, even helped me catch one so I could get a feel for it. As a result, I later caught five fish myself, and the fish that the other people on the boat caught were all very big and beautiful! It's also very beautiful; the sea in Okinawa is truly beautiful. I really liked this trip!

This aquarium indeed does not disappoint. We spent at least 3 hours indoors going through 3 levels, and then went outdoor to feed sea turtles, watched the dolphin show and fed the dolphins. The dolphin feeding experience was very popular though, and it’s limited to 25 ‘groups’ of participants for each time slot, so will need to queue up really quickly. Both feeding programs are separately payable. ¥500 per bucket of food.

I would like to recommend it as a must-visit place during your trip to Okinawa. Taking beautiful pictures in a natural atmosphere and experiencing adventures you have never experienced before... It was really the best!! Perhaps that's why it didn't feel similar to other famous theme parks in other travel destinations, and I think I will be able to remember Junglia's uniqueness and memories, so I was really happy with the day I spent in Junglia. The weather in Junglia in mid-January was moderately warm, like spring and early summer weather in Korea. And it rained for a while, but there was a free umbrella rental car and I could use it comfortably, so I think I was able to have a more pleasant time. (I think I could also use the lounge bar for 30 minutes for free with the ticket purchased from Klook, so I really recommend using it!) And I would also like to thank Shin00 Junglia Crew(?), who gave me some tips on how to enjoy Junglia even more! :) Thank you. If you use Junglia Theme Park, I highly recommend using the spa as well!!! You don't need a reason, so if you go to Okinawa, I recommend investing one day in Junglia & Spa!

It was a very nice experience. the cave is obviously the main attraction. it is very humid down there and severel stairs which are slippery. Hole yourself on the rail just incase. And one advice: After purchasing the ticket do not open the voucher until you are in front a ticketing agent at the entrance. otherwise your ticket might become invalid/used. Other than that you a snake museum and a little zoo with animals, some snack stations and shops and a restaurant. At station number 5 you can check out one of the two alternating live shows each hour. All in All you can spend around 2-3 hours here and attach a visit to the nearby mibaru beach.

Experience: The electronic tickets are very convenient, just scan them for admission. Unfortunately, they open at 9:00 AM, and the popular pet feeding tickets are sold out by 9:30 AM, so I recommend arriving before opening if you want to feed the animals. Facilities: The environment is clean and the space is pretty good, but some pet areas inside are a bit stuffy. This is probably to accommodate the pets' needs, so it's understandable.

Buy the 5-in-1 Fun Pass including the Churaumi Aquarium; if you want to re-enter the Churaumi Aquarium on the same day, you can directly scan the QR code for entry without queuing to buy tickets. The owner of the shrimp rice restaurant on Kouri Island, where you redeem the pass, has a bit of a poker face and looks a little fierce; the taste is average, and I wouldn't choose to redeem it there again. However, Okinawa World and DMM are both very worthwhile. There's also a paid pearl digging experience at the entrance of DMM, so you don't have to rush to the crowded small shop inside Okinawa World. Additionally, the three-choice set meal at a restaurant near the beach in American Village is also very good, and it comes with pumpkin soup, a drink, fried chicken rice with lettuce, and scrambled eggs. There's a Times parking lot nearby, and the first two hours are free, making parking super convenient.

Ms. Qian, the tour guide, led us through a pleasant day! This trip didn't involve self-driving, so we joined a day tour. The northern attractions were very appealing and were some of the most worthwhile places to visit in Okinawa. The tour members were all punctual in arriving at the departure time. Although the drive was long, the tour guide enlivened the atmosphere and carefully introduced the history, precautions, etc. of each location. The amount of time spent at each attraction was sufficient to see the entire site. However, at the end, in American Village, we chose to return on our own because we felt that the original 40 minutes was not enough. The tour guide also told us that we could choose a bus back to Naha for the return trip. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and with the tour guide's introduction, it is highly recommended. The early bird discount is also much cheaper!

It's s lot cheaper to purchase the tickets here on klook, you can easily exchange the tickets with QR code. The animals are cute and the zoo is well arranged, but the interact session with animals are limited, I would still recommend this place specifically for family with small kids.
