Compared to Tokyo, the ticket prices for the teamLab exhibition in Okinawa are much more affordable. The interactive projection installations are beautifully done and worth a visit!

First time experiencing a bus tour without a guide, but the driver was very considerate throughout the entire trip, indicating boarding and disembarkation times with signs.

The location is extremely convenient. It's across from Ichiran Ramen, and Don Quijote is just one block ahead, so you can take your purchases directly back to the hotel. There's a FamilyMart and a 7-Eleven across the street.

Exiting Miebashi Station, you'll quickly arrive at the hotel. This location is very close to Kokusai Street, about a 10-minute walk, making it convenient for shopping. On the way to Kokusai Street, you'll pass Torikizoku and Ramen Danbo, making it easy to grab a bite. It's also about a 15-minute walk to Kencho-mae station to catch a ride. The hotel breakfast includes Okinawan home-style cooking, which is delicious and filling. The hotel also helps with taxi reservations and the service is good. I would definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Naha city.

Even on weekdays, it's usually fully booked, with mostly Taiwanese people. The last row of seats can be reclined 👍👍, and there's plenty of legroom. Before boarding, remember to download the Fun Pass App, enter the 12-digit code found in the front seat pocket, your name, and email to log in, and then activate the attraction guide download. This was my first time participating in a Klook day tour that combined no tour guide + attraction tickets, and it felt pretty good. It saved a lot of time on transportation and research, making it the best choice for independent travel. Looking forward to participating in the southern tour tomorrow. Very reassuring. Very high quality. The return trip was delayed by half an hour due to rush hour, but I can understand.

We had a great time! At first you’re sailed out to the reef spot, then you go below deck to watch the fish. I’d recommend sitting so that you face away from the boat to get a better view of the fish!

Our first meal in Okinawa! Thanks to the Mobydick for a wonderful evening. That night, it was almost all Japanese tourists and students. The performers were professional and friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. They were enthusiastic and friendly towards young children. My daughter, on her first trip abroad, happily went on stage to dance with them. It was truly a rare and precious memory!
