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.

This was such a special and meaningful experience! I love the concept of embracing flaws and turning them into beauty, and was excited to find this simplified Kintsugi experience. The ladies were very helpful in taking us through each step, and I went home with a beautiful hand-made work of art. Highly recommend!

The experience was a 10/10. I wish the workshop had included a bit more about the history of Shisa and Okinawan culture, but I'm not complaining. The staff was very friendly and provided us with all the materials and protection needed to avoid damaging our clothes.

I created my own custom perfume, and the shop even made a personalized label for my unique bottle! It was a super creative experience that satisfied my love for fragrance. Thanks to the handsome shop owner for his patient service.

Whales are so impressive! I turned my head and saw half of one right next to the boat, I didn't even have time to record it. Even though it was windy and rainy, it was totally worth seeing. A reminder to everyone, the order is with CeruleanBlue but when you confirm your order, double check which company the outbound journey is with - it might be a different one.

The activity location is very convenient and easily accessible. It was easy for me to get to the meeting point by bus on my own 📍This was my first time kayaking in Okinawa, and I had a great time seeing the beautiful Okinawan sunset 🧡 The instructor, Miku, was kind and friendly, and the entire route was smooth and safe 👍 She also helped take a lot of photos, which I really appreciate 💕 I recommend this to anyone visiting Okinawa! 👍

The staff is very friendly, and the explanation is very detailed. Although their English is limited, they use gestures and break down the actions into steps, making it easy to understand. After paddling through the mangroves, I learned some stories and about the mangrove ecosystem. It's worth including in your Okinawa itinerary.

Take bus number 120 from Naha. The instructors are very professional. The entire trip is by kayak and lasts about 1 hour. The scenery is beautiful, but be aware that you will definitely get wet, so bring a change of clothes. This activity is highly recommended.
