The northern part of Motojima, where classic sightseeing spots gather, you definitely want to go when you visit Okinawa. Although it is a course that often travels from Naha by car, for those who do not usually drive much or want to enjoy local sake, we want to avoid driving. This time, I would like to introduce a course that goes around by bus from Naha to the north, which is recommended not only for those who want to enjoy the classic spots of Okinawa.
