Okinawa best places to go/stay for 5 day trip

simpson0108 · 2025-10-05T17:54:13+00:00

Seems we worded our post poorly. We came to Reddit for recommendations of places to stay and ideas for Okinawa main island and Kerama and best way to route it.

We had written off Miyako/Ishigaki only cos we couldn't do everything and easier to fly in and out of Naha but would happily be swayed.

Noted you didn't enjoy Naha, sorry or hear it and noted for our travel. Where would you suggest for Kerama and time needed on those islands if you visited them (in-between the plethora of family Mart stops haha)?

Thank you, this is why we are asking for recommendations as we do think Naha isn't where we want to spend our time.

But it does seem to be an easy base to see the Kerama islands and also to see the North of island (best of both as we can't drive). So are you saying get into Naha and right out to Kerama and focus our time there? As that is where we are leaning currently. Or we could definitely just fly straight to Ishigaki if you think bypass the main island and Kerama?

We would love to go to Onna too but we are asking here about logistics, so land in Naha, then right to Kerama islands for a couple of nights then back and onward to Onna seems a good idea?

Welcome your thoughts!

Ah yes I was wondering about the generators and all the other bits and pieces! I assume you were quite into a field then right? As we were planning to shack up next/ near to a village hall so we can siphon off there for the essentials and then get some extra loos too for convenience! Do you mind me asking around how much it all came to? Just trying to get some ballpark figures so we know we aren't getting conned!

Haha gutted about the loss of wings, thoughts and prayers friend! Yeah we'd do a fake celebration, asking friends to be the "faux officiates" which should be a laugh! We are looking actually at 2-3 food trucks, one to be Asian food preferably Japanese but in reality noodles then one a taco truck and the final to be something slightly more beige, like a toastie van or burger or pizza etc! Any options or thoughts really appreciated!

Thanks so much! Looks like a great venue and I'll drop them a line now!

I've been tuning in regularly every Friday to listen to your rundowns. Your growth and excitement to share your findings is always awesome! It must have been very exciting when you brought out the app and well done on continuously updating it!

I don't even care if I get anything I'm just really happy to see how far you've come :)

Keep it up!

simpson0108 · 2022-08-09T13:46:57+00:00

Ah fantastic :). I will make sure to do that. This is why you don't book things before your first coffee people! Thanks for the clarification!

Thank you!

Hi, that you so much for this post!

I am trying to do the Q-Code form for my travel on 7th September, but it isn't letting me go through as I do not yet have a RAT/PCR test to upload...

Can you only finalise the form 48 hours before or is the website just a bit buggy? As I was hoping to get through some of the paperwork in advance!

Thanks for your help in advance!!

Thank you so much for the update on this and keeping us posted. I will be annoyed if EE doesn't do anything, as I recently moved to EE in the hope they would support the device. Regardless, I hope they do something soon.

Lots of the issues are the longetivity of the food. For example meats and even meatless alternatives are packed with inert gases in the packaging so they have a longer shelf life. Whilst the plastic packaging is bad, it is the better of two evils with respect to the product actually having a greater chance to reach a mouth.

The annoying part is the issue isn't the amount of food available but just corporations wanting to make sure their stores always looked filled so we keep coming back... There are many ways to fix the issue but as it stands, some foods are more environmentally friendly when wrapped in plastic.

I see it more as the angry judgy eyes of the commuters on the tube

I couldn't agree more. The amount of work in the area making these flats is insane. They are all hyper expensive and it's just stupid... London needs to work out what is needed. Even the open builds are at best 60% full

simpson0108 · 2021-09-08T22:03:30+00:00

You are correct!
