Mesta za obisk na Okinawi
...brez vaš Japan Rail Pass

Dobrodošli na Okinawi

Okinava je najjužnejše območje Japonske in je sestavljena iz več manjših otokov. Prefekturo Okinawa lahko razdelimo na 3 otoške skupine: Okinawa Shoto, Okinawa Honto in Miyako Retto. Prefekturo včasih imenujejo tudi otoki Ryukyu in izhaja iz starejše lokalne kulture in imena.

Vaša rutina za Japan Rail Pass is of no use on Okinawa, but it can still be a nice addition to your trip! We got you covered with plenty to visit.

JAPONSKI RAJ

Okinawa je znana po belih plažah, kristalno čisti vodi in čudovitih koralnih grebenih. Območje ima subtropsko podnebje, zaradi česar je toplo vse leto – za razliko od preostale Japonske. Glavni otok sestavlja na stotine čudovitih plaž s številnimi aktivnostmi in vrhunskimi letovišči.

KDAJ OBISKATI OKINAVO

Najboljši letni čas za obisk Okinawe za tiste, ki se želijo izogniti turistom, je konec marca - oktober. Okinavo je seveda mogoče obiskati vse leto, vendar so nekatere plaže zaradi vremena zaprte za javnost. Prednost obiska v marcu – aprilu je število ljudi. V začetku leta je občutno manj turistov in manj stresa, vendar s popolnim dostopom do vseh plaž. Lahko pa je temperatura vode nekoliko nižja (20-23 stopinj), kar bo morda ustrezalo nekaterim turistom.

Od sredine maja do sredine junija velja za območje deževno obdobje. To običajno ne moti ljudi, ki Okinavo obiščejo zaradi snorklanja in potapljanja. Visoka sezona se začne julija skupaj s preostalo Japonsko in ponuja čudovito bivanje za tiste, ki prenesejo vročino. Žal so cene prenočišč in letalskih kart v tem obdobju leta bistveno višje. Dnevne temperature nad 30 stopinj niso nič nenavadnega.

Hurricane season is unfortunately from July to October, and annually Okinawa is hit by 5-8 hurricanes which can lead to canceled flights and ferries due to high tides, strong winds, and high waves.

September to October is a good time of year to visit Okinawa. Summer is long in Japan and the weather is generally good and the water temperature is close to 25 degrees.

MIYAKOJIMA

Otok Miyako je otok, 300 km jugozahodno od glavnega otoka. Otok je najbolj znan po čudovitih plažah in koralnih grebenih, ki obdajajo otok. Zelo priljubljena destinacija med potapljači.

Yonaha Maehama Beach has won awards as “Japan’s finest beach” on several occasions. A large number of resorts are located along this wonderful beach.

Upoštevajte, da je otok daleč južno od glavnega otoka Okinawa in zahteva prevoz po zraku. Let med celinsko Okinavo in otokom Miyako-jima traja približno 55 minut in običajno stane okoli 1,000–1,500 SEK povratno potovanje.

GYOKUSENDO

Gyokusendo Cave or Gyoku Sendo je naravno ustvarjen muzej zadnjih 300,000 let, namenjen javnosti. Pričakujte modro in kristalno čisto vodo skupaj z apnencem v obliki sulic, ki visijo s stropa.

Gyokusendo is the largest of many caves on Okinawa but also ends up as the second largest cave system in all of Japan after Akiyoshido. Unfortunately, the public only has access to 1 of the 5 kilometer long lime tunnels.

KORALNI GREBEN

Najboljša stvar na Okinawi naj bi bila pod vodo! Koralni greben na Okinawi je sestavljen iz približno 200 različnih vrst koral in je dom številnim pisanim in lepim živalim. To vsako leto privabi na tisoče potapljačev in turistov z vsega sveta.

The water temperature fluctuates between 21-30 degrees and is the only place in Japan where you can dive and snorkel all year round. In addition to all the fish, the reef is also home to animals such as manta rays, hammerhead sharks, humpback whales, and four kinds of turtles.

The area also offers diving tours out to Kouri-jima for exploration of the sunken ship USS Emmons, caves, and underwater ruins.

ŠURI-JO

Shuri Castle also called Shuri-jō or Shurigusuku was an Okinawan castle in the Shuri area and was mostly destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. The temple was recreated and restored in 1992 using historical descriptions, notes, memories, and found photographs.

Shuri-jo has been a world heritage site since 2000 but unfortunately managed to be damaged again in 2019 by a fire that started in the area.

AKVARIJ CHURAUMI

The aquarium is the largest in Japan and is located at Ocean Expo Park in the northern part of the main island. Ranked as one of Japan’s best aquariums, it has welcomed over 20 million visitors since 2002.

The main attraction to visit is the Kuoshio Sea, a 7,500,000-liter water tank. Home to whale sharks, manta rays, and loads of other fish. A perfect visit for a rainy day in Okinawa.

SPOMINSKI PARK

Okinawa Peace Memorial Park is a place of remembrance for those who fell victim during World War II. The Battle of Okinawa during World War II claimed several hundred thousand lives and the devastation was extreme.

The country took a big hit during this war and wants to honor its compatriots and victims with a memorial site in Itoman City (the northern part of the main island of Okinawa).

The area also consists of the Spominski muzej miru and the Himeyuti Monument.

RT MANZA

Manzamo / Cape Manza je spektakularna razgledna točka blizu vasi Onna na severnem delu glavnega otoka Okinawa. Med sončnim zahodom in vzhodom je zelo priljubljen pri fotografih, zato prinesite fotoaparat!

KOURIJIMA

Kourijima, imenovan tudi otok Kouri, je majhen otok približno 1 km severno od glavnega otoka. Otok je mogoče obiskati z avtomobilom zaradi mostu Kouri, enega najbolj spektakularnih mostov v državi zaradi njegovega razgleda. Otok ima nekaj najlepših in tropskih plaž Okinawe green vode.

Severni del otoka ponuja zelo priljubljeno atrakcijo Heart Rock. Otok Kouri je zlahka dosegljiv z avtomobilom ali avtobusom iz mesta Naha in traja le eno uro. Popoln enodnevni izlet, če obiščete Okinavo.

IRIOMOTEJIMA

Iriomote Island is the largest island in the Yaeyama Islands group and consists of 90% virgin jungle. The entire island is covered with jungle and is classified as a national park.

Popular tourist attractions on the island are kayaking, hiking, and exploring the island’s pristine nature. You will find several beaches with crystal clear water and white sand along the coast of the entire island.

IŠIGAKIJAMA

Otok Ishigaki spada v skupino otokov Yaeyama in je najjužnejši del otočja Okinawa. Otok je drugi največji in najbolj priljubljen v svoji skupini otokov. Otok se uporablja tudi kot osrednja točka in prometna lokacija za popotnike, ki gredo na otoka Iromote in otok Taketomi.

Like all the other islands in the area, Ishigakijima has several wonderful beaches, monuments, rich nature, and several luxury resorts. Ishigaki is also significantly calmer and more relaxing compared to Okinawa’s main island.
