Cape Kayauchibanta is a spectacular coastal cliff. From the top, you can take in the vast ocean views and steep rock walls all at once. The scenery is truly beautiful! The cliff is said to be about 100 meters high. It got its distinctive name because bundles of thatch thrown from the cliff would be scattered and broken apart by strong winds before reaching the bottom. Standing at the edge of the cliff, feeling the sea breeze and looking out over the wide-open scenery, is both breathtaking and soothing. It’s a great place to enjoy natural beauty, slow down, and take photos.

Toyosaki Seaside Park Chura SUN Beach
Located just a 15-minute drive from Naha Airport toward Itoman City, Chura SUN Beach at Toyosaki Seaside Park is the closest beach to the airport. It’s a popular spot for watching airplanes take off and land, as well as for enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the horizon.
沖繩離那霸機場最近的海水浴場之一，交通方便，還有豐富多元的海上活動可以體驗。
白天的海灘就已經很漂亮，沒想到這次更幸運，竟然遇上超級美的夕陽，夕陽慢慢落入海平面，天空被染成一片金橘色，海面也跟著閃閃發亮，整個景色美到讓人捨不得離開。
沒有特別安排，卻意外收穫了一場超美的沖繩夕陽，旅行中最讓人難忘的，往往就是這些剛剛好的幸運時刻。

Okinawa Outlet Mall Ashibinaa
Built near the Toyosaki Seaside Park Beach, Okinawa's first outlet mall is named "Ashibinaa," which means "playground" in Okinawan language, symbolizing a gathering place for people of all generations.
It’s about a 20-minute drive south from Naha Airport. Since it’s so close to the airport, it’s a great place to visit at the end of your trip!
This is Okinawa’s first outlet mall. It covers a large area and has tons of popular brands. The whole place is very comfortable to walk around, and the shopping was much better than expected. Besides shopping, there are also plenty of restaurants and food options, so whenever you get tired, you can find somewhere to sit down and eat.
We specifically chose to come in the evening. We took our time shopping in the pleasant evening breeze and had dinner while we were there. It wasn’t as hot as during the day, which made the experience more relaxing and comfortable.

Cape Chinen Park
Located in Nanjo City in southern Okinawa, Cape Chinen Park sits dramatically at the edge of Cape Chinen, jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. This scenic spot offers panoramic, 250-degree ocean views that stretch across vibrant coral reefs. The mesmerizing gradient from emerald green to deep cobalt blue is nothing short of breathtaking. You can also catch sight of nearby uninhabited Komaka Island, known for its white sandy beaches, and Kudaka Island-revered as the “Island of the Gods.” On clear days, you may even see as far as Tsuken Island and the Katsuren Peninsula to the northeast.
As soon as I arrived at Cape Chinen Park, I was captivated by the ocean view. The deep blue sea stretched into the distance, while the water and coral reefs created beautiful layers of color. The scenery was truly soothing.
The weather was also perfect that day. With the sunshine, blue sky, and Okinawa's distinctive blue sea, every photo looked good. Standing at the cape with the sea breeze blowing and looking out over the vast ocean, I didn't need to do anything to feel completely immersed in the vacation atmosphere.
If you happen to be traveling around southern Okinawa, I highly recommend stopping by for a walk, enjoying the ocean, taking some photos, and soaking in Okinawa's most captivating shades of blue.
