Yomitan Village is a treasure trove of Okinawa's rich cultural heritage. There were only a few visitors on the day I went, and almost all were locals who had driven there. The village has a centuries-old pottery tradition called Yuntanzayaki. Stroll through the rustic, handcrafted atmosphere of Yomitan Village, browse the local pottery shops and kilns, then order a bowl of refreshing, nostalgic shaved ice served in locally made pottery. It's cool and relaxing, and the shop also has a friendly little black cat. Spending an afternoon here lets you fully experience Okinawa's warm, slow-paced, historic charm.

Zanpa Cape Lighthouse is definitely worth a visit! It’s one of the few lighthouses you can climb, and once you reach the top, you get a stunning 360-degree view of the sheer cliffs and deep blue ocean. After climbing the stairs, be sure to check out the eye-catching vintage bus nearby. Grab a refreshing ice cream—it’s the perfect treat on a scorching summer day and makes for great photos too!

The experience at L LOTA on Kouri Island was unforgettable! I highly recommend coming at sunset—the view outside, bathed in the evening glow, is breathtaking. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was authentic and delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing, and the service was warm and attentive. After dinner, we walked outside and looked up to see a sky full of stars—so romantic! There's a parking lot right across from the restaurant, making parking very convenient. This is definitely a place I'd return to.

KOURI SHRIMP is a must when visiting Kouri Island! Their signature garlic shrimp rice is rich and aromatic, and the shrimp are springy, flavorful, and very distinctive. It gets more crowded in the summer, so I recommend finding a seat after ordering. I especially recommend the rooftop dining area, where you can enjoy delicious food in the sea breeze while taking in the gorgeous ocean view. Pair it with a local Okinawan beer, and it's such a treat!

From the top of Kouri Ocean Tower, an endless gradient of “Kouri Blue” stretches out before you, with the magnificent Kouri Bridge running straight across the sea. The view is truly breathtaking! Ring the “Bell of Happiness” on the rooftop observation deck and look out over the gorgeous ocean as the sea breeze blows and the bell echoes around you. It’s romantic and soothing, and definitely a must-visit highlight of Kouri Island!

Also, the air conditioning is nice and cool, and there are plenty of souvenir shops. If you’re visiting Okinawa in the summer, it’s a good place to escape the heat.

In the crystal-clear “Kouri Blue” waters, these two natural heart-shaped rocks nestle together as if witnessing eternal love. The white sand, waves lapping against the shore, and heart-shaped rocks create a stunning scene. Every photo looks like a romantic postcard, and quietly watching the waves makes this a truly heart-stirring spot.

The bridge to Kouri Island is very impressive, with a distinctive wave-like shape, and the beach is even more captivating. A short path beside the rest stop on the island leads to the shore in just a few steps. As the sun sets, golden light spills across the sea, blending with the beautiful beach like a painting. Amid the gentle breeze and sound of the waves, enjoying the peaceful and moving Kouri Blue feels cleansing for the soul.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is breathtaking! At the aquarium café, you can enjoy a drink while watching huge whale sharks glide right by you up close—it's truly awe-inspiring. The highlight was the limited-time "Kuroshio Exploration," where an elevator takes you directly above the Kuroshio Sea tank. Looking down from above, you can experience the vastness and vitality of the ocean world. Definitely worth the visit!
