I live in Okinawa and I feel like I don’t take advantage of sightseeing and exploring 😓

I like how Shuri Castle was annoted as "Shitty Castle" on video progression.

The fire at Shuri Castle and the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral had an indescribable sense of loss, but I'm happy that there are people who leave them in the video. It's still a beautiful structure in the video.

I lived in Okinawa for three years and I loved it, Okinawa world was the best place to visit, I loved going in the cave it was my favorite part of the park. The aquarium was also really fun to go to, I love aquariums but nothing with compare to Okinawas.

Sometimes when my dad was deployed me my mom and sister would drive around to find somewhere cool to visit. We visited a lot of WW2 monuments during our stay there, there was one place that was a WW2 monument and it was a bunker used during that time, you could walk in and everything.

I was upset when I found out that Shuri castle had burned down, it was such a beautiful castle. Speaking of castles there were a lot of castle ruins around the whole island.

There was this beer factory we went to in Okinawa it was rlly cool. Did you know that some brands of beer, tea and milk cookies can only be found in Okinawa, I really miss those milk cookies, they were so good.

I have a lot more stories about Okinawa if you wanna hear more!!

Thanks for this helpful video 🥰
I'm planning to go to Okinawa next January, do you think it's a good month for traveling there? Being solo, and mostly staying in Naha, is it very difficult to explore some spots you mentioned by public transportation only?

Aw WOW! We visited Okinawa last year and missed so many beautiful places. Thanks for sharing your list! The closet we were was Nara and we did an OWL CAFE and Nara Deer Park. Love your list! Your voice over is A+!!! Watched the whole video to support <3 <3 <3

I so enjoyed your video! It looks a lot different now! I was there from 1973-1975 in the U.S. Army. I will never forget it. I scuba dove in the South China Sea! Rode my motorcycle all over the island! Went through 2 typhoons. And went to Naha 1 time in my almost 2 years there! And that was for kobie beef, got a steak. I loved the fried rice with a sweet tea! Thanks for the video!

Hi! I come from Philippines, and I went to Okinawa back in 2018 September! It was such an amazing experience! I love the places! I went to one island at Tokashiki since I was there for a short while, but I cannot wait to come back there and explore more! Churaumi aquarium was definitely the highlight of my trip there along with visiting the castle before it got burned down. I was able to go see the delicious food options at Kokusai dori! I still can't get my mind off the taco rice and sata andagi and even the mochi! I hope to be back there in the future!
