What to expect

Wander in solitude in a nature-seeking adventure in Okinawa and the rest of the Southwest Islands. Treat yourself with rewarding panoramas of lush fauna, lyrical hills, and cliffy coastal scenery enveloping the entire region. Visit Cape Zanpa Park for an endless panorama of natural vistas from the northernmost tip of the island. Head next to the Zakimi Castle Ruins, a former Ryuku castle on top of a hill in Okinawa Honto. Look over the stone walls for good views of the surrounding area, the Shuri Castle, and Naha Port in the distance. Continue on to the Kadena Air Base, which houses a lot of Okinawa's historic sites from the Ryuku Dynasty. Go on a personal exploration in the breathtaking Southeast Botanical Gardens and walk along a number of flower-laden lakes, a grove of dragon blood trees, gazebos, and Chinese-style ornamental bridges. Your final stop is at the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom for the full mall experience in Okinawa filled with great choices from restaurants, clothing stores, electronics, and more.

Review for: Central Okinawa Day Trip

Love this tour a lot. All sights are worth to visit. Particularly the botanical garden made a little surprise to us, because the lunch buffet is so so so oiishi & yummy, plus there are cute animals in the garden, which you can pay as low as 100 yen to feed them. Also thx to the friendly tour guide (as well as driver) who took good care of the kids in the same tour, so impressed that he can handle the grumpy kid so well!

Pick up on time and drive safely. I have participated in the north and south big bus one-day tour of this platform. This time, the middle is a small bus tour. You can visit places that are difficult to reach by one person.

Review for: Central Okinawa Day Trip

The places that we visited were lovely, and the tour guide was knowledgeable. The tour is value for money, considering that it includes a lunch buffet! Perhaps the trip to the former US airbase can be excluded as there wasn't much to see there, so that more time can be allocated to the other places.
