Cape Chinen Park

Unmatched views of the deep blue sea and vibrant coral reefs.

As soon as I arrived at Cape Chinen Park, I was captivated by the ocean view. The deep blue sea stretched into the distance, while the water and coral reefs created beautiful layers of color. The scenery was truly soothing.

The weather was also perfect that day. With the sunshine, blue sky, and Okinawa's distinctive blue sea, every photo looked good. Standing at the cape with the sea breeze blowing and looking out over the vast ocean, I didn't need to do anything to feel completely immersed in the vacation atmosphere.

If you happen to be traveling around southern Okinawa, I highly recommend stopping by for a walk, enjoying the ocean, taking some photos, and soaking in Okinawa's most captivating shades of blue.

Higashi Village Fureai Hirugi Park

A nature park in Higashi Village in northern Okinawa Main Island, where you can observe the hirugi (mangrove) forest spreading across the river mouth up close. The park has a walking path, creating an environment where you can learn about the hirugi rooted in the wetlands and the unique ecosystem of the brackish water area as you stroll.

來到沖繩北部，很推薦安排一趟東村紅樹林交流公園！這裡是一座維護得很好的自然公園，從停車場走進去，就能沿著完善的步道一路欣賞紅樹林與河口景色。

步道單程約335公尺，沿途設有觀景台，可以近距離觀察紅樹林生態。退潮時還能看到泥灘上的小生物，充滿自然趣味。

園區環境清幽，還有洗手間、桌椅，帶小朋友來散步、認識大自然也很適合。比起熱門景點，這裡多了一份悠閒與寧靜，很喜歡這種貼近自然的旅行時光。
Minatogawa Stateside Town

A unique spot created by renovating foreign residences built in the 1950s and 1960s for U.S. military personnel, now lined with cafes, variety shops, galleries, and more. Appearing suddenly in a residential neighborhood in Urasoe City, its retro American-style streetscape offers one of Okinawa’s most distinctly international atmospheres.

The former foreign residences here have been renovated into cute little retro shops. The old houses and colorful streetscape give the whole place a vibe a bit like Taiwan’s cultural and creative parks. It’s a great place to slow down, stroll around, and discover unique little shops. There are clothing boutiques, cafes, specialty coffee bean shops, drink shops, and even a camper van rental company run by people from Hong Kong. Every shop has its own style, so there are plenty of pleasant surprises just from wandering around. However, it gets quite hot on sunny summer days, and there isn’t much shade in the neighborhood. I recommend stopping for coffee or dessert and taking a break before continuing to explore. It’ll be much more comfortable that way.

It’s also fairly convenient to get here by car, with paid parking available in the neighborhood, though some shops don’t have their own parking spaces. Also, most shops don’t have restrooms, so I recommend using one before coming and taking your time exploring. Overall, it’s a great place to spend about 1–2 hours taking a leisurely walk, snapping photos, having a cup of coffee, and experiencing a different side of Okinawa’s laid-back lifestyle.
Manzamo

Manzamo remains one of Okinawa’s most coveted, scenic destinations at its spot along the coast of the East China Sea in Onna Village, a town near the heart of Okinawa Island. The name "Manzamo" comes from the Ryukyu word for "field”, and it is said that in 1726, King Sho Kei of the Ryukyu Kingdom praised the area, saying it was "large enough to seat ten thousand people”.

One of the classic must-visit spots when you come to Okinawa! Manzamo is known for its vast cobalt-blue ocean and spectacular cliffs. Looking out at the sea from the grassy plateau, the entire view is truly soothing.

The park's walking paths are very well designed, and the safety measures along the way are excellent, making it easy and worry-free to walk around. Admission is only JPY 100. For such a small fee, you get to enjoy such a beautiful ocean view, so it's really worth it!

We were incredibly lucky on the day we visited and had perfectly clear weather. The sky was deep blue, the sunlight sparkled on the ocean, and the water was so clear that we couldn't stop taking pictures. Just sitting here, enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the ocean without doing anything felt especially relaxing. This is the kind of blue ocean scenery that summer in Okinawa is all about.
