I found Naha itself to be a very ugly city. The market was my favourite "sight" there. Outside of Naha, things are prettier in parts. My next trip will be to one of the less populated islands.
DAY 1
Visit the
Tamaudun mausoleum and reconstruction of
Shuri Castle
Visit the
market which is just off Kokusai-Dori in central Naha
Eat
pigs face and
"umi-budou" (sea grapes) seaweed.
Find a place to hear some
live okinawan folk music or
pop music.
DAY 2
Hire a car and do a tour of the
Peace Park and the ruins of
"gusuku" castles which are dotted around the island.
Eat
Okinawa soba.
DAY 3
Go to a
beach.
Get drunk on
awamori and make
rude signs at some
US marines.
Start running.
DAY 4
Visit one of the
smaller islands for a more laid-back okinawan experience.
Eat
goya champuru.
