  • Kaichu Road
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Urumashi Yonashiroyahira
    Kaichu Road (“The Road in the Middle of the Sea”) is a public (non-toll) road in Uruma City. Extending across the sea for approximately 5.2 kilometers from the Katsuren Peninsula to Henza Island, it is a very popular choice for an enjoyable drive; with the sea stretching away on both sides of the bridge, the views are magnificent. Halfway along the road there is the “Ayahashi” rest station, which sells local specialties and other souvenir gifts.

  • Ikei Ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Pref. Urumashi Yonashiroikei
    Ikei Ohashi Bridge opened in 1982 and is immediately recognizable for its distinctive red arch. The 4.75-kilometer-long Mid-Sea Route, a popular driving route that runs across the sea, connects to three small islands from Okinawa’s main island. And adorning the final stretch is the gorgeous Ikei Ohashi Bridge linking to Ikei Island, the most outlying island. Enjoy your drive above the picturesque sea.

    Okinawa Pref. Urumashi Katsurenhama Higa
    This 1,430-meter-long bridge runs straight between Henza Island and Hamahiga Island. The crystal clear sea stretching toward the horizon is quite a sight to behold, so we recommend crossing on foot.

    This park is located on an underwater road connecting the main island of Okinawa and Henza Island. The park is united with the beach area and feels like a resort.

  • Central Park Avenue
    Travel / Tourism
    Okinawa Okinawa-shi Chuo 4-10-25
    "This avenue extending northwest from the Goya North intersection of National Route 330 was developed as a shopping mall to attract Japanese customers. It originated as a business center catering mainly to the U.S military. Called ""BC Street"" during the Vietnam War era, it would later be renamed when it was redeveloped. The avenue received the Tezukuri Furusato Award from the current Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in 1987 for the sense of unity created by its white sphere-shaped roofs and roadside palm trees. It features restaurants offering a wide diversity of cuisines as well as many unique sundries shops."

Okinawa Areas

around-area-map

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
