In the back garden of Okinawa, Japan and Taiwan, we share some useful tools to make the journey smoother!
Limousin Bus
Although Naha Airport is not far from the bustling Kokusai Street and only takes 10 minutes by taxi, I would like to share the Limousine bus airport route. After all, sometimes the taxi cannot accommodate too much luggage. By the way, the ride from Naha Airport to Kokusai Expressway takes about 10 minutes and costs 1,000 yen. From 10 pm to 5 am is the night bonus time, and an additional fare of 20% will be charged.
Naha Airport to various areas in Okinawa
Limousine Bus is divided into five routes: A: Ginowan & Chatan American Village, B: Onna Village, C: North Onna, Manzamo, D: Nago, E: Churaumi Aquarium and surrounding areas. The route covers a large area of Okinawa. For detailed information on each stop, time and fee, please refer to the official website:https://okinawabus.com/zh-cn/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/03/9ac5a67a55e0e7499b7bf83bcd13081e.pdf
Okinawa bus
There are actually buses that can be taken to various scenic spots in Okinawa. For detailed bus stop information, please refer to the link below. That’s right! In addition to using stored-value cards, you can also pay with cash on Okinawa buses, and you can change money. The machine accepts 1,000 yen bills and 500, 100, 50, and 10 yuan coins, but 5 yuan and 1 yuan cannot be used. (laugh).
The procedure for taking a bus in Japan is to draw a ticket when you get on the bus. There will be a number on the ticket. When you get off the bus, compare the number on the ticket with the pricing board, then pay and get off.
Okinawa Bus Navigation

The website is very simple to operate. Just enter the departure place and destination, and it will calculate the time, cost and other information of various bus trips. I think it is easier to use than Google Map and I really recommend it.
Example: Departure point: Kokusai-dori, destination: Mihama American Village. The results were calculated for 5 different routes, times and costs.
After clicking on the timetable, you can know the departure time of each bus. Taking Route 1 as an example, there are buses such as [11] Yasuoka Ureihara Line, [21] Shintoshin Gushikawa Line, [23] Gushikawa Line, etc. that can reach Mihama American Village. The rich man feels that the user experience is great.
In addition, the weekend timetable is listed, which is very considerate.
