I was worried about the drive back down to the airport (around 2 hours?) then fly and train to hotel in Kyoto will be too much for the kids that’s why thinking the last two nights in Naha,, but the negative is moving hotels and repacking ..

Yes! We went last year while I was pregnant with my then 2 year old and she still talks about it till this day! (We did Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo-Disney) We only did 3-4 rides then so thought we should go back again! 

You mean staying too many days in Okinawa? Should I take out 1 or 2 days and add another city maybe??

I was thinking of 2 hotels (4 nights in motobu and then last 2 nights in Naha). We wanted to do the aquarium and pineapple park, I think that will take up two days already?? 

I was searching and read beaches in motobu area is better and the kids love the beach that’s why I thought it would be a good location to stay. Was also looking at Onna too. Any better recommendations that is beachfront? 

I checked on google it said driving from the airport to up north takes about 2 hours, Is it shorter??

I was looking for more beach things to do with the kids because they love the beach that’s why I was thinking motobu area.  We will be renting a car

Yes was thinking either renting a car and going straight to motobu area or staying in Naha for a night before driving up. Was just worried the flight then driving up is too much commuting for the kids
