OKINAWA Shocked Me! 3 Days in Japan’s Tropical Paradise

OKINAWA Shocked Me! 3 Days in Japan’s Tropical Paradise

Konichiwa, my friends, and welcome to a very 
special video.
I’ve dreamed of coming to this island since I was just a little kid, and it has 
not disappointed.
Look at this behind me here. It’s amazing.
This could be Bali, the Maldives, 
or even Thailand, but it’s not.
We are still in Japan, and it is blowing my mind.
I know that 
when I normally think of Japan, I’m thinking about temples, sushi, and bullet trains.
But 
what if I told you it also had turquoise waters, coral reefs, and a culture that’s closer to the 
South Pacific than anything you will find in this country?
Right now we are in Okinawa, and today we 
are going to be exploring the best things to do, fun activities, food, and culture.
So, let’s 
get into it because I am too excited to just stand here anymore.
And I partnered with 
SafetyWing to make this video.
My go-to travel and everyday health insurance, which we’ll 
talk about in just a little bit.
But first,   we’re on a tropical island. We need to start 
at the beach.
Right now, we are on Mibbaru, which is on the east coast of the island, about 
an hour from Naha, where we are going to be based for the majority of the video.
And this place 
is gorgeous.
Look at that water out there. So blue, so clear.
Down at the end, they 
have these beautiful limestone formations, places where you can rent chairs and umbrellas, 
grab some food, and even do water sports.
Now, my favorite thing though was going out on the 
glass-bottom boat tour, where for 1,800 yen, we got to go out and explore the reef, check out the 
fish and the coral, and we even got lucky enough to see a turtle, which was totally awesome.
And 
as much as I would love to just lay on this beach all day, there’s so much more of this amazing 
island that I want to show you.
So, right now,   we are going to go and head over to the bus, head 
back over to Naha, and keep this adventure going. Welcome to Naha, the gateway to Okinawa, 
and where I recommend basing yourself if you’re only here for 3 or 4 days, like most of 
the travelers that I have been meeting.
This   is the transportation hub to the island, which 
makes it super easy to get around and where you will be landing when you get here.
You can see the 
airport right there behind me.
This place is so   cool and there are a lot of fun activities to do, 
which I’ll be sharing with you, as well as some itineraries that you can do so you can really get 
the most out of the island.
Right now, we are on Saga Island, which is just a 15-minute ride from 
the airport.
And it is so beautiful here.
I mean, look at this here behind me. That blue water. 
Amazing.
They have an observation deck that you can go up to and get some beautiful views of the 
ocean.
Then you can head down the steps to a small beach that they have.
And when you come down to 
the beach, they have a child blessing rock.
And there are two holes right up here.
The locals 
believe that if you throw a rock into the top one,   you get a boy, and into the bottom one, you get 
a girl.
So, I’m just going to take mine and— They also have a nice little walkway right along 
the water where you can sit on benches and watch   the planes coming in and going out.
I 
even got to see fighter jets taking off, which was super cool.
They also have an onen hotel 
here, where for 2,000 yen you can go in and use their facilities and sit in the steaming water 
with a view of this ocean behind me here.
And it’s home to the Umakaji Terraces, which is 
like a little slice of Santorini right here in Okinawa.
You can wander through its quaint 
little streets and check out the artwork.
And   there are a ton of restaurants and bars.
They have 
a very unique cafe here called the Ice Terrace, where it’s minus 10°.
I got a little winter 
coat and had a nice iced coffee in this amazing temperature.
I don’t think I can ever go back to 
having iced coffee at room temperature. They’ve ruined me.
Now, my next few recommendations are 
conveniently located right next to each other.
So, from downtown, you can hop on the Monorail—
Yes, they have a Monorail here. Feels like   Disney World sometimes.
And then head over 
to the Shuri Castle, which was the original palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which we’ll be 
talking about in just a little bit.
They have some beautiful grounds with these gates that 
are awesome for taking photos in front of.
You   can explore the outer walls, and inside they have 
some of the best views of the city.
Unfortunately, the palace burned down recently, but they’ve 
almost completely reconstructed it, so hopefully when you come here, it will be ready.
Then, 
just around the corner, is the Daruma Temple, where you can explore some of Japan’s cutest 
little dolls.
They symbolize good luck, prosperity, and goal setting.
Of course, we’re 
in Japan.
And they also have some beautiful Torii gates that you can walk through, as well as some 
little shrines and a gorgeous golden Buddha.
Just around the corner from the temple, you can find 
the Zuisen Distillery, which is one of the oldest makers of Awamori, the traditional rice liquor 
here in Okinawa.
You can do a free tour of the facilities and learn about how it’s made and then 
do a free tasting, where we tried seven different of these delicious beverages.
I definitely 
recommend it. And you know, I love free. And if you’re looking to experience some 
traditional Okinawan culture firsthand,   then take a 1-hour bus ride over to Okinawa World, 
which is a cultural theme park.
They have this reconstructed traditional village where you can do 
some fun activities like pearling oysters to make jewelry, leatherworking, and glassblowing, and 
check out some of their traditional instruments like the Sanshin, which is sort of like a mix 
between a ukulele and a shamisen.
It’s very cool.
They also do live performances three times 
a day that include a snake show and traditional dancing with music, but unfortunately, they don’t 
allow photos or videos during their performance,   so I can’t show it to you.
But trust me, you want 
to check it out.
And I think that the highlight of the whole thing was exploring their underground 
cave system.
It takes about 45 minutes to walk from end to end, and it’s lit up really well, so 
you can get some great photos and videos.
It’s definitely one of those experiences here 
in Okinawa that you’ll never forget.  And they have a nice little 
beach in town called Naminoue, which is definitely worth checking out.
It’s not 
the prettiest beach here in Okinawa, but it is super convenient and only about a 20-minute 
walk from downtown.
They have lifeguards, a swimming area, and you can do some fun water 
sports.
And right next to it, there’s even a shrine that is definitely worth checking out.
Another cool spot to check out in town is Yachimun Dori, which is this old cobblestone street that 
has been the heart of Okinawan pottery for over 300 years.
The street is lined with lots 
of unique shops where you can pick up some amazing souvenirs to bring home with you.
And it’s 
also a great place to come and spot some Shisa, the lion-dog guardians of Okinawa that you will 
see all over the island on rooftops and in front of doorways.
They always come in pairs of two, 
one with the mouth open and one with the mouth closed.
The one with the mouth open scares away 
the evil spirits, and the one with the mouth   closed keeps in the good fortune.
And the best 
part is you can go and pick up some unique ones to bring home with you.
Pretty fun stuff, right?
I mean, Naha has so much to offer and way more than you could do in just the little amount 
of time that you have to explore here.
So,   right now, we are heading over to Kokusai 
Street, which is like the heartbeat of Naha and where you’ll probably be spending most 
of your days and nights when you’re done   with your activities because it’s where the food, 
entertainment, and shopping is.
It’s really cool. But along the way, I wanted to answer a question 
that I’ve been getting frequently in the comments   and from fellow travelers, and that is who I use 
for my insurance while I’m out in the world.
And the answer is simple. It’s SafetyWing.
I’ve been 
using them for almost 10 years, and they have never let me down.
And what I’m super excited 
about is their new SafetyWing Nomad Insurance Complete Plan, which is a comprehensive plan 
that covers you both at home and abroad.
And what’s really great about it is that you’re 
not restricted to any network.
So you can visit   any doctor, clinic, or hospital, whether it’s 
private or not.
It’s good in over 175 countries, and not just for emergencies.
So you can do things 
like visit the physio, talk to a nutritionist, get mental health support, and so much more.
It was 
designed as a better-suited alternative to plans from Cigna and Allianz.
And because the company 
was built by world travelers and digital nomads, they know exactly what you need.
The plans include 
things like coverage for trip interruption, stolen items, as well as lost passports.
I 
know that I am super excited to be upgrading to this plan at the end of the month.
So, 
I will include a link in the description,   pinned comment, and a little QR code right down 
here for those of you watching on your TVs so that you can check it out for yourself and join 
me and the other 400,000 people worldwide using SafetyWing to stay happy and healthy on the road.
Now, let’s continue over to that street because I don’t know about you, but I am getting 
hungry.
And along the way, I’m going   to share some itineraries for your second, 
third, and maybe even fourth day here.
Now, Okinawa is probably much bigger than you think 
it is.
It’s absolutely massive, and there is so much to explore.
So, when you’re done in Naha, I 
recommend striking out to experience some of its amazing beauty.
But unlike here, where it’s 
super easy to get around with the Montreal, buses, and taxis, it can be a bit more difficult 
as you get farther away.
So, I recommend getting a car if it’s in your budget.
But if it’s 
not in your budget, like it wasn’t in mine,   there’s another great option, which is to take 
a bus tour, which will take you out to some of the highlights that the island has to offer.
And 
the best part is you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Okinawa.
It was two and 
a half hours to our first stop on the southern part of northern Okinawa at the Churaumi Aquarium, 
which is one of the top 10 aquariums in the world. When you head inside, there are so many 
exhibitions and tanks to explore.
They had a really cool shark tank, minus Mark 
Hubin.
And the best part was the massive viewing tank right in the middle that had manta 
rays, schools of fish, and a huge whale shark that was just peacefully swimming around.
They also 
had some cool rooms with glass all around you, so it’s like you’re sitting in the tank.
And they 
had a little restaurant where you can get some   coffee and snacks and just watch all the marine 
life swim by.
Outside, you can go and explore the manatee tank, as well as see some happy sea 
turtles swimming around.
And if you walk down to the bottom of the aquarium, you will come to 
the famous Emerald Beach, which was stunning.
The sand was white, the water was blue, and they had 
lifeguards and shaded places to sit in.
And right when you’re done, you can go and hop on the little 
local tram that’ll take you back up to the bus. After the aquarium, we made a quick stop 
by Kouri Island, which is one of the most iconic places here in Okinawa.
To get here, you 
have to go over a 2 km bridge, and the entire way was just stunning.
There’s also another name 
for this island, which is the Love Island.
And in Okinawan mythology, they believe that at the birth 
of mankind, there were two lovers that lived in a sea cave here, sort of like Adam and Eve.
There’s 
also a beach that has two heart-shaped rocks on it that add to this romantic legend.
Unfortunately, 
we don’t have the time to go and explore this today, but if you drove yourself, then you can 
definitely go around and check out the amazing beaches here and then leave me a comment 
down below and let me know how they are.  Now, let’s hop back on the bus and continue with 
this adventure.
Our next stop is a quick one at the Okashi Goten, which is one of the most famous 
places for sweets here in Okinawa.
Their most famous thing is the Beniimo tarts, which are 
made from the purple sweet potatoes that are famous here, and it comes on top of this delicious 
little cake.
So, we’re going to be trying them   when we get back to town.
Our guide told us that 
you shouldn’t really do any shopping here because the same shop is right on the main street in 
town, which we’re going to visit later.
So,   you can just relax for a little bit.
And they 
even have this beautiful view right out the back of the ocean that is just stunning.
Our next stop is Cape Manzamo, which has these limestone cliffs with the ocean 
and the clouds as a perfect backdrop.
And the most famous thing here is the Elephant Head 
Rock, which looks like an elephant dipping his   trunk into the ocean.
It is so beautiful 
and the perfect place to snap a photo. And our last stop on the bus tour today is the 
American Village, which is like a little slice of the good old USA right here in Okinawa.
This 
used to be part of a U.S. military base, but it was reclaimed and converted into this 
seaside entertainment area.
They also have a great little boardwalk here where you can come down and 
watch the sunset.
It’s really beautiful.
And this is one of the best times to be here.
I mean, 
check that out right there.
There is so much   going on right now.
People are eating, the sky 
is all these amazing colors, and the palm trees are just fluttering in the wind with that Okinawa, 
USA feeling in them.
And I feel like the bus tour was great if you want to get a quick glimpse 
of things.
And besides going to that aquarium this morning where we had two and a half hours, 
all the other stops have been between 20 and 30 minutes.
This one we get an hour, but it was a 
15-minute walk over here.
So, it’s kind of like a great way to get a little taste.
And if that’s 
all you’re looking for, then this is the perfect   option for you.
Otherwise, I do recommend getting 
a car so that you can do it at your own pace and really enjoy everything as long as you want to.
All right, back to you, Adam. Thanks, Adam. I love that guy.
And like I said, 
the bus tour was good. A little bit rushed, but it’s probably the best way that you 
can go out and really explore as much as   we got to see.
And I’m not normally a bus tour 
guy, but I thought this one was pretty good. And now that you’ve explored the island by bus, I 
recommend for your third and/or fourth days that you explore by boat.
Okinawa has 160 islands, 
and you can explore a lot of them.
If you want to do a tour on your own, you can head down to 
the port right in town and hop on a ferry that   will take you out.
Or you can do what I did and 
do an organized tour where you can go snorkeling and/or diving.
I went out to the Kerama Islands, 
which are one of the most popular island chains to go and visit here.
And it was stunning out 
there.
I got to spend the entire day on the boat, and the diving was amazing.
The water was so 
clear, the reef was absolutely massive, and there were tons of little fish.
Some highlights 
included seeing a lionfish, spotted moray, a bunch of different anemone fish, as well 
as a pygmy seahorse.
And I think that that’s one of the things about Okinawa — it’s this 
natural beauty that makes it so special.
So, try to squeeze in as much of it 
as you can while you’re here.  And right now, we are actually almost over at 
Kokusai Street.
But I was walking through this park and completely accidentally came across 
this massive stone structure here behind me, which is actually part of the castle walls.
It 
was a fortification.
So, I thought maybe I would just give you a quick little history of Okinawa 
and why it’s so different from the other parts of   Japan.
Until about 200 years ago, Okinawa was its 
own kingdom.
It had its own music, instruments, food, and king.
It was called the Ryukyu 
Kingdom.
And what makes it so unique compared to the rest of Japan is that it’s actually 
closer to Taiwan than it is to Tokyo.
And its warm tropical waters allowed it to have trading 
routes with places like China, Busan, Korea, Vietnam, and a lot of Southeast Asia all the way 
down to Bali.
This really is such a special place. And if you really want to learn some more about 
it, you can head over to the Okinawa Prefecture   Museum, which is right in town.
They 
have some really impressive exhibitions, and it basically takes you from the 
beginning right up to the present day.
You   can learn all about the history, the religion, 
and how Okinawans became Okinawans.
It’s just a really nice place to go and learn a little 
bit about this amazing place.
So, I highly recommend it because understanding the history 
of a place just makes it that much more special. And I think now, now it’s time for us to head 
over to Kokusai and try some of the food and experience some of the fun mishmash that 
Okinawa has become.
Because Kokusai Street is definitely a place to experience it 
firsthand.
I will see you over there. Welcome to Kokusai Dori.
This is the heart 
of the city, and it’s so much fun down here.
There’s literally something going on all 
the time.
And right now it’s during the day,   so it’s a little less crazy, but when it 
turns into night, this place lights up with neon lights and so much action going on.
It’s 
lined with restaurants, bars, some really cool and weird souvenir shops, and you can pick up 
pretty much anything that you are looking for. There’s also a cool vibe that’s happening 
here.
You know, the music you’re hearing as you’re   walking by places is a mix of traditional Japanese 
and Okinawan.
There’s also a lot of 50s doo-wop, some Elvis, rap, and R&B.
You can also grab some 
really delicious little treats along here.
There are so many sweet shops and restaurants, and 
they really love live music here, which I love.
I’ve seen a few at different restaurants.
Now, this place behind me here is actually the exact same one that we saw on the bus tour, 
which is why the guide said you didn’t need   to buy it there — you could just get it 
in town.
And I’m so excited to try out these purple sweet potato treats because they are 
supposed to be delicious.
And if you didn’t know,   Okinawa is actually a Blue Zone, which 
means it has more people over the age of 100 than anywhere else in the world.
And one 
of the things they say contributes to that is eating these purple sweet potatoes.
So, 
let’s head inside and see if it works. All right, let’s see what they got.
Ooh, they sell 
some Beniimo tart bags. I love that.
In case you want to bring it home with you.
Ooh, and it comes 
with the treats inside already.
Here’s what we are looking for.
And they even have a little viewing 
room where you can see them making the Beniimo fresh.
I love this. It’s so cool and so Japanese.
All right, we looked around enough.
Now, let’s go and get some to taste for ourselves.
I 
love that they have a little tasting counter here.
And the Beniimo theme guy right 
next to me that I did a little dance with. All right, let’s start with the Beniimo 
traditional.
Ooh, it’s so pretty. Look at that beautiful little design.
You can feel how soft the 
cake is. Let’s try it out.
M. That’s so good. It’s not too sweet, and you can really taste the sweet 
potato, but it’s actually just right, especially with the cake underneath it. I like that.
Next, we’re going to try the ice cream tart Beniimo.
Oh my. Now, that one is magical.
It 
really tastes like potato, but the cream that’s underneath it just makes it so much sweeter.
It’s 
almost like a cheesecake. Wow, that is delicious.
Definitely my number one pick so far.
And then we’re going to try the cream puff,   which I am so excited for.
It’s so soft, so 
tender.
Love me tender, Beniimo puff.
Ooh, wow. That is so good.
But I think I still 
prefer number two, the Beniimo ice cream one. And last but not least, I’m going to wash 
it down with this famous pineapple drink from Okinawa that will blow your mind.
It’s 
like drinking a pineapple. Wow.
One of the best pineapples I’ve ever had right here.
All right, let’s head back out on the road   and explore some more.
And about halfway 
down the street, you’ll come to this little split-off called Ichiba Hondori, which is a famous 
shopping street here with a ton of restaurants, souvenir shops, and just fun things to check out 
that we’re going to go and do right now.
It’s definitely a very cool little spot.
They have 
spam bags that fold up into little tiny spam bags.
You can also pick up some fun little 
characters and some spam Okinawa shirts. Now, you see spam everywhere here, and it’s 
actually a huge part of the food culture, which kind of cracks me up.
I guess that back 
during World War II, there was a huge shortage   of meat.
And because of the huge U.S. military 
presence here, which makes up 11% of the island, they had a big surplus of spam.
So, the Okinawan 
people adopted it into their everyday food, and you can find it in so many of their dishes.
They 
do one with a bitter gourd that also has some tofu and egg in it.
And you just see stickers, 
bags, and all kinds of different spam products all over.
Even at the 7-Eleven, you can pick up 
spam onigiri, which is that rice with spam and egg inside.
It cracks me up.
There’s like seven 
different kinds, as well as cans of real spam and faux spam — which I don’t know why you’d ever 
want faux spam, but hey, it’s here if you want it. And they also have some fun little shops on 
here that are really unique and kind of like   that mishmash of America and Japan together.
You 
can also pick up some flowery T-shirts.
If you head more down towards the end, you’ll find some 
izakayas where you can enjoy some food out on the street at night, which is so delicious and a great 
place to meet some more friendly Japanese people. You know what? They have one of those onigiri 
spam shops right here.
So, let’s go grab one.
All right, let’s—oh, wow. It’s huge.
Okay, so 
you’re looking at an onigiri right here.
It is seaweed on top, rice, spam, a little 
egg, and spinach with another layer of spam and some more rice on the bottom.
It’s 
a perfect little sandwich. Let’s try it out. M. Wow, that is so good.
I mean, I know it’s 
spam, but they did it perfectly.
I guess if that’s possible for spam.
But man, I really 
love how they have incorporated this into their food.
It’s what they had, so they made the best of 
it.
And I think that that’s one of those beautiful   things about Japanese people in general — they 
take what they have, they make the best of it, and they make it better than it was before.
And 
that’s just amazing.
Next bite’s for you. And about halfway up the road, you 
will come to the Makishi Public Market,   which is definitely a stop that you’re going 
to want to make.
Inside, they have the freshest seafood and delicious-looking meats, where for 550 
yen, they will take it upstairs to the restaurants and prepare it for you on the spot so you can 
enjoy it right here.
And just off of the road,   you can find this monument behind me 
here, which I’ll get back to in a second. Now, one of the best ways to experience 
a culture is through its celebrations   and festivals.
And here in Okinawa, they 
happen year-round.
But right now is October, and there is a very special one happening 
this weekend, which brings me back to this monstrosity behind me here.
Have you thought 
about it? Have you made any guesses?
This is   the largest tug-of-war rope in the world.
This 
weekend is the Great Naha Tug-of-War Festival, and they take a 40-ton rope and 275,000 people 
show up to pull it up and down the highway.
It’s supposed to be absolutely amazing, and I can’t 
wait to do it.
So, right now I’m going to put   together a little montage of these celebrations 
for you so you can enjoy them back at home, and then I will meet you down on the 
beach for a beautiful sunset. Enjoy. And I even got some commemorative rope 
from the actual giant tug-of-war to bring home with me.
I share this one with you guys.
Man, what a gorgeous sunset that was.
And I mean, Okinawa — it just blows me away every day.
Every 
day I’m like, “What? This is Japan?”
And it is Japan. It’s just a very special part of 
Japan.
And we barely got to scratch the surface of the things that you can do here.
You could 
spend probably a lifetime and not do all of it   or experience all of the amazing culture and food 
and just beautiful beaches and places to visit. So, unfortunately, I couldn’t squeeze everything 
into one video, but I hope you enjoyed what I did get to show you.
And yeah, I’m definitely coming 
back here.
I’m definitely going to be doing   more.
And there are so many islands to explore 
too.
Next week, I’m going to be going to Ishigaki, which is like the island paradise of this island 
paradise.
I’m not sure how that works, but you   know what? We’re going to find out together.
And yeah, as the sun sets on the day, I think it’s probably a good time for the sun to set on 
our video.
So, thank you again for being here with me.
