Onna and the west coast: What to Do and Where to Stay

Food · Things to do · Where to stay

Plan this coast by car or by bus, and by closing time. The sights run from Cape Zanpa in Yomitan in the south to Busena in Nago in the north, and Cape Manzamo in the middle of Onna is open until 20:00 from March to October, but viewing stops at sunset.

The hotels on the where-to-stay page sit between about 40 and 100 minutes by car from Naha Airport, and ten of the eleven are served by the Airport Limousine Bus. Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is, by the aquarium's own count, about two hours by car or about three hours by express bus from Naha Airport.
