Best of Okinawa

Best time to go:  March and April. The rainy season starts in early May and continues through June. During the summer months, it’s hot and humid, but still a peak visiting season, and September brings typhoons. October and November are also good times to visit.

Best part of the trip:  Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It’s the second largest aquarium after Georgia’s — which we’ll be posting pictures of soon. Fun fact —  “Chura” means “beautiful” or “graceful” and “umi” means “ocean” in Japanese.
Best place to stay: Renaissance Okinawa Resort

Best thing I/we packed:  Floppy Hat — it was perfect to keep the sun off my face and also a good prop for photo-ops. 

Best meal: Sushi and Sashimi

Best drink:  Saki

Best thing I/we brought home:  Handcrafted Ryukyn Glass.  Ryukyn Glass Craft is the largest factory in Okinawa. You can go to the factory to watch them make the glasses but we definitely suggest you can take a class and making your own! Click here for more details.

Best word to describe the trip:  Mesmerizing
