Beautiful video ! I would love to visit Okinawa. My mother was born there in 1935 and came to live in the United States around 1960. She never had the chance to return. I would like to take an extended trip to Okinawa in her memory one day. Thank you so much.

Spent 18 awesome months there, stationed at Kadena. Didn't get a scuba license but did some snorkeling. It's another world...there's more variety of sea life in the waters around Okinawa than anywhere else on earth. It's breathtaking. Many great memories traveling all over the island with friends.

Thanks! Another great video with comprehensive information! And in our opinion your comments at the end of it where extremely good and in total agreement with other KZbinrs we watch! The one thing that makes your video especially good is that a viewer can get all the helpful information in one video, rather than having to watch many videos. It might be better if you could experiment with the recording of sound on-site or balance the sound more when editing. We not visiting Okinawa soon we will certainly look to your video as a resource when the time comes. Please continue your good work!

I'm glad more and more people are talking about Okinawa. :) Also, thank you for letting me know about the sound issue. I made in the same way as I made Tokyo video, and somehow it had lots of wind sound (wind blew in Tokyo too) and this is the version I fixed several times, but I definitely need more study and better equipment.😅 Thank you for bearing with me and watching!

First time I seen Okinawa I was excited in 1968! Landed at Kadena and taken to Camp Hansen (Kin Village)! Ended up spending 2 years and none of the hotels were there! We seen the island on motor cycle and the roads were all dirt roads and paths! What a beautiful island and I loved it. Last time I was there for only one year was in 1983!

For the express way, the longest route would be 1040 yen one way. Most of the parking spaces are free in Okinawa, but you might need to pay if you keep your rental car in Naha city. If you stay at resort hotels by the beach, it can be 500-2000 yen resort fee a day including parking.

Greetings from Singapore, I've subcribed to your videos and had always enjoyed watching all of your sharing..I've just returned from Japan just 2days ago after staying visiting for a month. We did sapporo, noboribetsu,lake toya, hakodate, otaru, asahikawa, biel, furano, osaka, kyoto, kanazawa, toyama, kurobe gorge..karuizawa, tokyo...had almost wanted to stay forever 😍... What I liked most about your videos are they're your personal views. And the history behind it are so interesting!! Unlike many other videis, too much of promotional video included. Seeing this video, I'm going to visit Okinawa in June 2024. Warm? Will it be enough to cover the whole place for a month? I plan on renting a car like you to drive about.

Okinawa can be rainy season until late June but I heard it's not like raining all the time and it can be super beautiful if it gets sunny. If you have a month, I think it would be great to visit other islands such as Kerama, Miyakojima. :)

Hey, if you were asking about the next shot of the small cafe on the hill, I searched it and it's called "Yamaka Stand", and is on Google Maps!

Excited to go visit Okinawa someday. Is it still a cash based society?

It is. Especially at small shops and restaurants. Any convenience stores, gas stations, hotels, you can use cards.

Hi Kengo. May I ask, what is the typical weather by 3rd week of April in Okinawa? Is it warm enough to wear shorts or Sando? Also walk with flops?
@tokyokenchan
@tokyokenchan 11 ай бұрын
Yes, the time I filmed this video was exactly the 3rd week of April, so as you see it's warm enough. If you enjoy bathing in water, May might be a little more comfortable but April can be more sunnier (depends on the year). I wish you the best Okinawa trip. 😄⛱️

Hello. It changes a lot depends on the season and when you purchase, but you can find cheaper flight for ANA/JAL if you book early, or Skymark Airline from HND. For the lowest cost, LCC from Narita is cheaper.

Of course there are too many places to cover everything in one video. I myself have never been to Miyakojima. I like Ishigaki. Not far is Iriomotejima and Taketomijima.

Thx for sharing. Just want to share my experience when vacationing in Hawaii. The Japanese in Hawaii don't like connections with Japan. They call themselves Local Japanese. I believe it will take quite sometime to forget history.
