Day 1 - Naha

Stay at the Hotel Nikko Alivila

Arrive at Naha airport and be met by your driver. You will be transfered by chartered sedan to the resort and check in. Unless you visit only the city of Naha, we highly recommend a rental car for getting around Okinawa Island. Okinawa drivers tend to be considerate, signs in Japanese and English, road conditions good, and rental cars equipped with a car navigation system. Most of Okinawa Island's highlights, including Shuri Castle, the Peace Memorial Park and the Himeyuri Monument, can be found in or around Naha. |

Flights are operated by the JAL Group, ANA Group and Skymark Airlines. |
