Don't underestimate the climate of Okinawa! Points for choosing clothes

It is said that Okinawa has a long summer period. The summer heat continues until around September and early October, as well as July and August when summer is at the height of summer. Therefore, if you are traveling to Okinawa at this time, you have to pay attention to your clothes.

Okinawa in July and August is under the scorching sun. It is inevitable to sweat, so it is best to choose clothes that are breathable and sweat-absorbent. Okinawa has a good wind, so if you wear a short-sleeved shirt with good breathability, you don't feel so hot.
Then, prepare several replacement shirts so that you can change your clothes immediately when you sweat. If you want to avoid bulky luggage, we recommend a tank top or a thin shirt. Don't forget to keep towels and handkerchiefs in a single bag so that you can wipe your sweat quickly!

In September and early October, as in July and August, we recommend airy clothes such as short-sleeved shirts. Some people may come on a trip to Okinawa with long sleeves according to the climate of the area where they live, but don't underestimate the climate of Okinawa! In the case of Okinawa, the heat will continue so much that you can enjoy swimming comfortably until early October.
However, it may feel a little chilly at dawn or at night. Be sure to prepare long-sleeved shirts and haoris in advance so that you don't get cold and sick during your trip.

For clothes when going to the sea, please refer to Uchinanchu.

The sea of Okinawa is characterized by its clear blue color. Many people are looking forward to swimming here and challenging marine sports? However, the sunshine in Okinawa in July and August is strong, and when playing in the sea, it is conceivable that you will continue to bathe in it for a long time. When I came back from the trip, it turned red.……If you go to the sea at this time, it is important to choose clothes that can prevent sunburn.

Slow down on the beach chair with your favorite swimwear is like a southern country and wonderful, but if you don't want to burn too much, let's take a look at the clothes of the local people Uchinanchu.

When you go to the sea during the day, Uchinanchu wears "long sleeves on the top" and "shown shorts" to prevent sunburn. Under the shorts, wear spats that are up to the ankles to prevent skin from being exposed. This ensures that the strong sunlight of Okinawa is thoroughly guarded.
Of course, there are tank tops and shorts. If your skin is exposed and you are exposed to the sun properly, it will quickly turn red and red.

In addition to this dress, some people shut out the sunshine that hits their faces with wide brim hats or sunglasses. Uchinanchu knows the horror of the sunshine in Okinawa, so there is no choice but to take measures against sunburn. That's an aside.
The sea and beaches in Uchinanchu are not intended for swimming, but are places where they go for beach parties (barbecue on the beach). So most people come together from the evening when the sun is falling more than during the day.

A woman's natural enemy appears! Sunburn measures essential for traveling to Okinawa

In Okinawa, the sun is so strong that it is said that sun protection measures are essential throughout the year, especially in summer, only a few minutes under the sun, and it burns quickly. Don't you think "I'm okay because I don't play the sea"!
When traveling to Okinawa, take a sunscreen as an anti-tanning item.

There are many different types of sunscreens. Among them, SPF50, PA+++ (or ++) is the best choice for traveling to Okinawa. Especially when you spend a long time in the strong ultraviolet rays, such as swimming and marine sports.
However, this type of sunscreen can be too stimulating to children's skin with thin and sensitive skin. Therefore, it is recommended for children to wear long-sleeved rush guards or wear a hat that hides the back neck.

In the unlikely event that you have a sunburn, how about an esthetic treatment as a physical care?
You can take care of shopping at the beauty salon near Kokusai Dori. You can heal the tiredness of sightseeing at the hotel's esthetics and spas. You can take care of your tanned body in your preferred style.

Enjoy your trip to Okinawa as much as you want with clothes that match the climate!

How was it? The climate of Okinawa is very different from the mainland. Therefore, when traveling, it is important to carefully consider the above and choose clothes. In addition to clothes, it is important to prepare sun protection items such as sunscreen as well as clothes.
In order to engrave your trip to Okinawa on your precious "page of memories", please choose clothes and items that match the climate of Okinawa at that time and enjoy Okinawa to your heart's content!
