I'm going to Okinawa the beginning of August for 4 days and 3 nights situated in Naha, and have a few questions. My main focus of the trip will be beautiful beaches (but don't have the money/time to spend on planes or ferries down to the outer far islands) - so only recommend me places in Okinawa Island [or close places I can go by ferry that are cheap and good for day trips)!
- please give me a list, rating (beautifulness, cleanliness, etc), and how long it takes to get there of all the beaches in/around Naha (under a 2 hour drive or bus or ferry ride)
- i want to stay in a hotel (not a hostel), but cheap enough so the cost of a double room will be about $40ish per person (of a party of two people). i'm assuming all those hotels that are walkable distance to the beach are all expensive 5 star hotels, so is it a good choice to be located downtown (like in Kokusai Dori? I think there's a beach that's a 15 minute drive away from there? Plus shopping is easily accessible)
- please give me a 4 day itinerary of how you would spend your days if you were me (maybe main focus would be relaxing on beautiful beaches, little bit of shopping (ex kokusai dori), perhaps ocean expo park (aquarium), any good places for a day trip to (short/cheap ferry ride away).
Please give me any advice you have!! Thanks so much in advance!!
