Naha Okinawa Highlights

Single-day Experience
Make this experience a part of your trip.

Explore the must-see attractions in Naha, the capital of the Okinawa Prefecture and the former capital of the Ryukyu kings. Your tour begins at the UNESCO World Heritage site Shuri Castle, the residence of the Ryukyu royal family for more than 400 years. Surrounded by tall curved walls, the bright-red castle is a mixture of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles. Highlights include a lavishly decorated main hall that served as the venue for affairs of the state and the castle’s ornate Shurei Gate, which has become the symbol of Okinawa. A walk through serene Shikina-en garden follows, after which you will enjoy free time on Kokusai-dori, downtown Naha’s main boulevard. Its fashionable shops carry a huge variety of merchandise, including exquisite bingata fabrics, colorful pottery, and awamori liquor made from long-grained rice.

Insider Tip

Dress for the day’s weather and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the tour includes time outdoors. Bring Japanese yen for local shopping opportunities.
