Japan · Okinawa 4-Day Trip
Okinawa, Japan 4-Day Itinerary Template
Okinawa is better at a slow pace, and this plan keeps it that way: 4 days, 3 nights and just 14 stops. Start around Kokusai Street in Naha with a bowl of Okinawa soba, head north for the Churaumi Aquarium, Manza and Ryukyu Village, then return for Shuri Castle and a snorkel at the Blue Cave. Plenty of breathing room for couples and families who want beach time more than a checklist.
