Okinawa's recommended superb scenic spots

Nakijin-son | Sightseeing spot

Kouri Island is located in the northern part of Okinawa Island. It can be crossed at Kouri-ohashi Bridge, the largest manned remote island in Japan, which boasts a total length of about 2 km. The emerald green sea seen from the bridge on a sunny day is a word of superb view! A shallow Kori Beach spreads under the bridge, and in summer it is full of many bathers. The island is a small island of about 8 km, but it is dotted with spots for marriage and prayers for safe delivery of children, sightseeing entrance facilities overlooking Kouri-ohashi Bridge, and stylish sea cafes. I want you to spend a day relaxing.

"Nirai Bridge / Kanai Bridge" is cheering involuntarily in the large panorama of the blue sea and sky spreading beyond the tunnel. The dynamic bridge with a total length of 660m and a height difference of 80m, which has a large curve toward the sea, makes you feel like a bird flying in the sky. There is no parking space in the middle of the bridge, so when taking a commemorative photo, use the observatory in front of the tunnel. In addition to seeing the whole view of the bridge, you can also see Kudaka Island and Komaka Island floating in the cobalt blue Sea.

Uruma-shi | Sightseeing spot

A 5km long maritime road connecting Katsuren Peninsula and Heianza Island, located on the east coast of central Okinawa Island. You can enjoy a sense of reality as if you were running on a runway. Before the opening of the road, they came and went on foot at low tide, but as the high tide, the road sank into the sea, so it came to be called the "underwater road". It is also recommended to stop by the underwater Road Park, specialty product sales offices, and restaurants near the center of the underwater road. After crossing the road, I want you to go around the four islands (Heianza Island, Hama Higa Island, Miyagishima, Ikei Island).

Motobu-cho | Sightseeing spot

A bridge with a total length of 762m and a height of 25m connecting Okinawa Island and Sesoko Island. It is about 15 minutes by car from the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so you can easily drop in when you go back and forth to the aquarium. It is good to cross by car, but if you have time, please walk by all means. The sidewalk is wide, so you can slowly enjoy the superb view of the blue sea and Anchihama seen from Hashigami. On Sesoko Island, it is also recommended to spend time at Sesoko Beach, which boasts a highly transparent sea unique to remote islands and a white sandy beach of about 800m, and a cafe where you can feel beautiful nature.
