Frequently Asked Questions for Okinawa Golden Week (GW)

Q Congestion situation during Golden Week in Okinawa

A It can be said that the Golden Week (GW) period, which is also a major holiday in spring, is the season when Okinawa travel becomes more popular after summer vacation and Obon vacation. Compared to winter and early spring, the number of tourists will increase, and congestion on roads and tourist facilities is expected, but congestion tends to ease considerably after mid-May. It is also recommended to adjust the schedule and plan a trip with a schedule that shifts the long holidays.

Q Is it possible to swim in the sea during Golden Week?

A In the Okinawa region in May, there are many days when the temperature rises to nearly 30 degrees Celsius, and the climate can be said to be "summer". At this time, many of Okinawa's beaches have already opened, and you can enjoy marine sports and sea activities as well as swimming. However, even in May, be careful about sunburn! Take UV protection with sunscreen and rash guard.

Q What is the weather (climate) of Okinawa during Golden Week?

A Due to the subtropical climate, the average temperature in Okinawa, which is hot and humid, exceeds 25 ° C during this period, but it may feel a little chilly on cloudy or rainy days. Every year, it will be raining in Okinawa during May. It seems that the rainy season in Okinawa tends to have more days when so-called squalls occur, where the weather suddenly changes and gusts blow in a short period of time, rather than continuing to rain.

Q About GW Okinawa travel expenses

A Golden Week (GW) is a tourist season following summer vacation and Obon vacation. Since travel to Okinawa is becoming more popular during this period, the travel price itself will be higher than in the off-season. Airfares are also more likely to incur additional charges during convenient times. When the Golden Week holidays are over, the travel price will drop, so if you want to keep costs down, it is important to adjust the travel schedule.
