Advice for a pleasant and enjoyable tour
- Wear comfortable clothing.
In April, Okinawa is hot during the day but has a cool breeze at night. Prepare a coat and a leisure sheet for sitting on the beach. - Access & Time Management Thoroughly
Shuttle and tour buses have strict departure times. It is better to arrive 10-15 minutes before the meeting time, as you will not be able to board if you are late. - Keep in mind transportation other than the shuttle bus.
In case you cannot catch the bus due to flight arrival delays, etc., consider using a cab. It is difficult to catch a cab around the venue, so you need to make assumptions in advance, such as waiting time and cab apps. - Careful sand protection for free seating.
A plastic sheet, a small cushion to put under your buttocks, and sandals are useful. Enjoy the sense of freedom that only a sandy beach can offer.
