Full-day tour: Northern Okinawa
Last updated: August 26, 2026
See the best of northern Okinawa in one effortless day: a full-day coach tour linking Cape Manzamo's sea cliffs, the emerald channel under Kouri Bridge and the whale sharks of Churaumi Aquarium, before winding down among the seaside streets of American Village. Around three hours at the aquarium leaves unhurried time at the great Kuroshio Sea tank, and the coastal road between stops is a sight in itself. The day ends where it began in central Naha — the classic way to cover the island's north without renting a car.

Around three to three and a half hours — the longest stop of the day, with unhurried time at the vast Kuroshio Sea tank where the whale sharks and manta rays circle, plus the surrounding Ocean Expo Park.
From the Blue Seal store at Palette Kumoji (1-1-1 Kumoji) in central Naha, a minute's walk from Kencho-mae Station on the Yui Rail monorail. The tour is a loop, so you're dropped back at the same spot in the evening.
Yes — luggage can come on the coach, which makes the tour an easy fit for a day when you're changing hotels between Naha and the north of the island.
