A night tour where you can see the starry sky. A plan in which a professional photographer takes a commemorative photo under the starry sky is popular with couples when it comes to memories of their trip to Okinawa. We also recommend a kayak tour in the mangrove forest where you can see creatures that you can't see in the daytime.

Seasonal recommendations
Find a sightseeing plan / experience
The attraction of Okinawa is that you can enjoy it for a long time from April to October. During the summer vacation season in July and August, GW (Golden Week) from the end of April to the beginning of May, and Silver Week in late September, travel expenses are high and popular tourist destinations are crowded.
On the other hand, winter is the off-season, and accommodation and experience fees are cheap even in Okinawa. From November to February, which is relatively vacant, it is recommended because you can enjoy a great deal on your trip to Okinawa.
