Okinawa, I know this place because of a Korean drama "It's OK, it's love". The male and female protagonists fell in love during their trip to Okinawa.
"It's OK, it's love" is a psychiatric TV series. It tells the story of the life and love of modern people who are disturbed by minor injuries and are living with inner diseases.
Everyone who lives with injuries tries to make themselves better. They do not despise others without sympathy or judgement. Understanding is the cure. The heroine in the play is a psychiatrist who regards Okinawa Manzamao as her dream place and goes to this place twice to heal her wounds.
Okinawa is a magical island surrounded by the sea, blue sea and blue sky, and a five-star healing ability index.
Is there a healing journey? !

5. The public transportation facilities in northern Okinawa Prefecture are not perfect, so choose chartered cars in the north;
6. There are monorails and buses in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, so choose public transportation for travel.
Accommodation:
Japanese budget hotel, not cheap + small space, so before departure, I decided to focus on homestays.
reservation website: airbnb
air ticket: hk has direct flights to Okinawa.
Ctrip booked 10.3-10.7, Japan Peach Airlines (Lucky Airways).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The first time I encountered this situation, I was a little at a loss, but I quickly calmed down and consulted the customer service’s opinions on some questions: 1. I am in Guangzhou, will I wait for the flight at HK Airport on time tomorrow? (Customer service recommends contacting the airline directly at the airport) 2. If Peach Airlines stops Okinawa routes and other airlines have routes to Okinawa, will Peach Airlines arrange for me to take these routes? (Customer service shows that if Peach Airlines cooperates with other airlines, it can arrange the fastest route to Okinawa) 3. If I refund, is it a full refund for the round-trip route? (The reply is yes) 4. If the airline is responsible for the losses caused by the grounding of the route? (Customer service recommends communicating with airline personnel on site)
On the morning of October 3, I took the earliest shuttle bus to Hong Kong Airport and learned at the Peach Air counter: 1. The airline is not responsible for any losses caused by the cancellation of the route due to weather conditions; 2. Because it is a low-cost airline, it does not have a cooperative relationship with other airlines and cannot arrange for other flights; 3. Since the airline does not depart every day, if the ticket is required to be changed, the departure time is 10.7; 4. The airline provides a certificate of grounding, and if you buy insurance, you can provide compensation.
After understanding the situation, in order to avoid losses, immediately contact the air ticket agent, airbnb customer service, the landlord of the homestay, and the chartered car company. provides grounding certificates and writes some emails to apply for refunds as needed. The processing is quick and comprehensive, and all can be fully refunded, and the refunds are basically received within 24 hours.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Take a bus to Central Pier at the airport, and the hk sign is also very clear, which will explain which port number to which outlying island to go.
About 25 minutes to arrive at Rongshu Bay on Lamma Island. This place is different from the hurrying rhythm in HK city, and the atmosphere on Lamma Island is very relaxing.
Sunset, evening breeze, beach, Quyou Trail, primitive ecological environment~
Lanma Island, a piece of pure land in the downtown city, this is a wonderful accident in this journey.

After comparing the price and convenience, I felt that I would take a curved way to save the country: hk--- Ishigaki Island ---Okinawa Naha
Itinerary:
D1: hk----Ishigaki Island (HK express 2h)
D2: Ishigaki Island Island Tour (Public Transport + Taxi on the Island)
D3: Ishigaki Island---Naha (Jal 55min)
D4: Chartered car Okinawa North one-day tour
D5: Naha City Naha----hk (peach airline 3h)
Destination introduction:
Ishigaki Island is the third largest island in Okinawa Prefecture after Okinawa and Nishio Island. It is 410 kilometers away from Naha City, the capital of Okinawa Prefecture. In fact, geographically, Ishigaki Island is closer to Taiwan, China, and is only 270 kilometers. It is the same latitude as Hawaii, so it shines all year round
. Since there was no reservation for accommodation before departure, I got off the plane and found the airport service desk staff to help find accommodation. The Japanese have a very good service attitude. I have been tirelessly calling me for consultation. After finding the house, I also took them to call taxi. (Ps: Traveling in Japan, English is not unobstructed, especially these taxi drivers on the island, who know nothing about English. It is recommended to print out the name, address, and contact information of the accommodation place in advance. Even if the driver doesn't know the address, you can call the landlord to consult the landlord.)
I got from the airport to the homestay. The taxi driver was an old man (after he sat n times, they were all old man, the oldest was 82 years old). I guess he understood the wrong address and took us to Ishigaki City. At that time, the taxi table price was already more than 2,000 yuan. Then he took a circle and sent us to the correct homestay place. We only had to pay 1,000 yuan, so I think Japanese people are more trustworthy.
Bed and B&B is about half a bus stop from the airport, with a separate house, two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, and a large courtyard. You can sit there at night and watch the stars in the sky. You can walk about 10 minutes to the Pacific Ocean, so you feel that it is very cost-effective. (Ps: If you are interested, you can leave the landlord's email address, because the landlord does not list on airbnb or booking.)
The transportation on the island is mainly taxi and buses. Let's briefly describe how to take the bus: After getting on the bus, the machine next to the driver will actively spit out a sorting coupon, and keep it well. When you get off the bus, compare the numbers on the sorting coupon with the numbers on a screen in front of the bus. The amount displayed by the same number is the car money you want to pay. You can exchange banknotes for coins on the bus, which is convenient for payment. I really have to sigh that Japanese designs are humanized everywhere.
D1: Put your luggage and walk to the bus stop (10 minutes), take the bus to the nearest Yoshinoshima Supermarket (about 330 Yen). The fruits and fish in the supermarket are fresh and cheap. If you buy 100% milk, you will go back to the homestay to have a meal. After 7 o'clock in the evening, there are basically no people, cars, or lights on the road. At first, you will feel depressed and desolate, but the advantage is that there is no light pollution and the stars can be seen when they look up. At night, I looked at the stars in the courtyard and listened to the sound of waves in the distance, and my body and mind were integrated into the dark night.
D2: Traveling, in my understanding, is not about going to some attractions and taking some photos of the trip here, but about getting to this place, both body and mind are relaxed. In the morning, I went to the beach with a sweet and full sleep all night. The sea and blue sky lay down in the soft sand, empty my thoughts, let my hair and clothes be blown by the sea breeze, and I quietly enjoy the beauty of the present.
At noon, I set out to eat the famous local Ishigaki beef - Ishigakiya. The cooking methods are also available from sashimi to barbecue. The fat and thin Ishigaki beef is paired with the store's charcoal oven. The roasted meat melts in the mouth, full but not greasy.
After dinner, I went to Ishigaki Pier and Commune Market. Both are close to each other and there are some shopping spots nearby. Here we have to mention "Sea Salt Ice Cream". Sea Salt + 100% Milk, salty and sweet, it is actually too irresistible.
D3: Departure today to Naha, Okinawa, Jal ( Japan Airlines ), arrives at Naha in about 55 minutes. The transportation in the city of Naha is relatively convenient. The monorail (light rail) has a 24-hour voucher of 700 per ticket, which basically covers some shopping points and attractions in the city.
The weather is very good when I first arrived at Naba, and I can’t tell at all. I only encountered Typhoon No. 18 two days ago. In the island country, rain comes whenever you say it, and it never makes sense. The hotel station hotel makishi is close to the international gate, and the light rail Makishi Station is 5 minutes walk.
Dinner at the First Muzhi Commune Market, buy fresh seafood on the first floor and process on the second floor. The processing fee is about 1,000 Yen/three dishes. Many of the market stalls are Taiwanese, and the prices are not open and transparent, and the moisture is quite high, so you should still compare the prices well. But the seafood is really fresh, and the sashimi is sweet! ! !
D4: Depart from Naha, charter a car to the north, route: Wanzumao--Guyuli Bridge--Guyuli Island---Old Grandma's House (Bit Melon Lunch)---Aquarium.
1. Wanzumao, as mentioned at the beginning, the dream place of the heroine in the Korean drama. Wanzu Mao is composed of limestone, and the cliffs are eroded by the waves all year round, forming a unique shape like an elephant trunk. There is a vast green grassland, azure sky, azure water, and the sea and sky are all in sight.
2. Guyuli Bridge, the bridge connecting Okinawa Main Island and Guyuli Island, is 1,960 meters long. Against the background of the clear blue sea and blue sky, there is still light on the water surface, and the visual impact is still great.
3. Guyuli Island, after passing Guyuli Bridge, next to it is the beach bath. Rent a sun umbrella and spend a comfortable morning.
4. The old lady's house is close to the aquarium and is the habitat for chartered drivers and other guests. The dishes here are all done by two old lady's hands and the taste is quite good.
5. Aquarium, this is one of Okinawa's main attractions, the largest selling point is "the world's largest", and the huge sink "Sea of Black Tide" running through the two floors. There are all kinds of marine life here. When I stand in front of the sink, the blue color, those lives have been healing me.
Departed at 8 o'clock in the morning, returned to the city at around 6 o'clock in the evening, and went to Xinduxin Business District to shop, including DFS, 3A Department Store, Best Electrical Appliances, MUJI, Uniqlo and other stores.
D5: Morning International Pass: the most prosperous street in Okinawa, buy various local specialties and souvenirs.
Return to hk~
Return to Peach Airlines, which is a low-cost airline and has an independent departure building. Therefore, if you depart via Peach Airlines, you must first take a bus to the "Bus Station No. 4" on the 1st floor of the domestic route terminal of Naha Airport, take the free dedicated transfer bus.
