Cheers Man

Ok let me see if I can answer all of these to the best of my ability shouldn?t be too hard


Q: What is the best time of the year to get there ?

A: Any time of year is good to go as the weather is always nice. Peak season is in summer from about late July until the End of September so that is when things tend to be a bit more expensive as that is when most Japanese people have holidays and travel to Okinawa. That is also Typhoon Season

My favorite time of year in Okinawa is Late January ? Early February as the weather is much warmer than the rest of Japan and the cherry blossoms start to come out all over the place

Q: How expensive is Okinawa  compared to the rest of japan?

A: Well every where in Japan varies in price depending on how urban it is but compared to places like Tokyo and Osaka, Okinawa is 25 ? 50% less expensive on many things please visit

for a better idea on the cost of things

Q: Do you recommend people to dive there, does the underwater is beautiful as the outside?

A: Okinawa has some of the best diving in the world with some of the clearest waters and best visibility. The biggest complaint people have with diving in Okinawa compared to other Asian destinations is the cost does tend to be higher, but in my opinion it is worth it as the water is some of the best I have ever dived in.


Q: How cold is the water in summer time?

A: The water is very warm in summer as the temperatures as Okinawa is a sub-tropical climate


Q: And last question what are the top beaches to go in this island for swimming and for surfing?

A: The best beaches in Japan are definitely in Okinawa and most people say the beaches on the smaller islands are better than the ones on the main island but the ones on the main island (Okinawa Honto) are really great too. Each beach offers different things and many are very popular with kite surfers these day. Many big resort hotels also let bathers use the beach for free for a very comprehensive list of beaches please look here

I hope I was helpful and if you have any other questions please ask

Thanks Ken,
That?s prety much answers all my questions,
By the way, your website is great, and had nice pictures  :js:)

I am looking forward to go there on my next vacation,
I always wanted to know Japan, and now I have an amazing idea where to stop for the beach.

By the way what other hot spots you advise to someone like me, that I should see when traveling to Japan?

Cheers man

In Okinawa, people commonly use the word something. Japanese has three alphabets, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Where is the best place in Japan to enjoy night life and when is the best time to travel there?
