The seats were very comfortable, and the whole train is reserved seating, so you don’t have to drag your luggage around looking for a spot. It made the ride really easy and relaxing.
This time I stayed near Nippori when visiting Japan, and I feel like the Skyliner is pretty much the top choice. It’s also very convenient for transferring after you get off.
SATUDORA Okinawa Kokusai-dori Store
SATUDORA Okinawa Kokusai-dori Store occupies a prime corner location on Kokusai-dori Street, Okinawa's most popular sightseeing destination. Just a short walk from Yui Rail's Kencho-mae Station, it's an easy stop whether you're starting a day of sightseeing or heading back to your hotel.
I just got back from Okinawa, and it was my first time seeing a foreign currency exchange machine inside a drugstore. I thought it was pretty unique! The location is also great, so you don't have to make any detours to include it in your Kokusai-dori itinerary. It really saves a lot of trouble when you need to exchange money.
Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is located by the sea, just a short walk from Yokohama Chinatown. It was opened in March of 1930, reclaiming the waterfront using rubble caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Yamashita Park is really relaxing, and the ocean view is beautiful. It's also close to the Red Brick Warehouse, Chinatown, and the Hikawa Maru, so it's very convenient to visit them all in one trip.
Neo Park Okinawa
This zoological and botanical garden is located about 10 minutes by car from downtown Nago. The vast site, nearly five times the size of the Tokyo Dome, features an area that reproduces the environment of a tropical region.
My favorite part was being able to feed the animals in the park. Lots of birds would fly right up next to us, so it felt very interactive. Both kids and adults had a great time.
