So far shuri castle and churaumi aquarium interests me. Hope there are many shopping streets for cheap souvenirs.

Cheap sashimi at the public market was the favourite part of okinawa. I don't really do much shopping but there's the shopping street. Don't expect it to be happening like Osaka or Tokyo la.

Quite nice to drive around the island, speed limit around 50kmh only. Easy drive. Most tourist spots parking also free and easy to find (maybe not summer holiday time). I wanna go back there next time for the other smaller islands and for diving. laugh.gif

JR Pass not really useful in Okinawa no? JR Pass quite standard price. Can check with JTB in KL.

I wanted to head to miyajima for the torii instead of okinawa initially but the cost (plane/shinkansen) is too costly.
*
Miyajima costly to go there meh? I covered it with my JR Pass during my first trip to Japan. Spent a whole day there, I really love that island. Not as many deers as Nara though.

JR costly lor, for a 3-4 days trip combined with hiroshima. I saw youtube of that island, the deers look more original with spots and antlers  biggrin.gif
*
Ya the deers on miyajima looks more natural. Nara ones all no antlers but backside white color haha.

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Jan 16 2015, 10:08 AM)
Miyajima must go during Oct - Dec. Oyster Season.  Then feed those deer with oyster bento. They will went crazh

Stress trip. Lol. But I'm sure we will see things that we most likely won't be able to see in Japan.
