Things to do near Naha (Okinawa)
These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Naha, along with a brief description:
♦ Naminoue Shrine
Naminoue Shrine is considered one of the most important shrines in Okinawa. Situated atop a hill overlooking the coastline, this shrine is where many came to pray for safe travels and success. Since a large portion of the original shrine was destroyed during World War II, what you see today is a reconstruction (with an exception of the entrance gate, which is the original structure). Today, many people continue to visit this shrine to pray for health and success. As Naminoue Shrine is located so close to the sea, you can easily access the beach from here. There are also street food vendors nearby where you can sample some traditional foods, giving you even a better “taste” of local culture!
♦ Naminoue Beach
This is probably the only beach you’ll ever visit that has a highway going over it! In the distance, you might even be able to see cruise ships docking in Naha. Aside from its interesting scenery, this is one of the most visited beaches in Naha, and it is located right behind Naminoue Shrine (so you don’t need to travel far to get to it). This small beach is good to go to for a nice swim (as there is a designated swimming area with a lifeguard), and is well known for its clean, white sands and blue waters. During the peak season, you can rent chairs, umbrellas, and barbecue facilities and enjoy a nice beach day.
♦ Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Art Museum
One of the most highly-rated museums in Naha is the Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Art Museum. This museum is perfect for history buffs, art enthusiasts, and those interested in natural history, as many of its exhibits feature those topics. There are gardens outside of the museum that you can explore, taking in knowledge of traditional-style homes, statues, pottery, ceramics, and more. There is also a sculpture garden with contemporary artwork. Among some of the exhibits you can see inside the museum include those on local flora and fauna, the history of the Ryukyus Islands (including artifacts), and rotating art exhibits. There is also a café, gift shop, and a “Hands-On Experience Room” where you can get really immersive with local history and culture.
