The programme

On board a comfortable bus, we'll start traveling along Kouri Bridge, the longest in Japan, where you can cross the water without spending a cent (yes, you read that right, it's toll free!). The bridge connects the island of Kouri to the rest of Okinawa, allowing you to literally fly over a sea that is so blue that it looks like something out of a painting. For a few moments, you might be left speechless!

Then, get ready for an epic visit to the Churaumi aquarium, the biggest in Japan as well as one of the largest in the world. Whale sharks, giant rays and yellowfin tuna dart past before your eyes, showing you Okinawa's marine life at various depths. The main tank is gigantic: 35 meters long, 27 meters wide, and so deep that you'll feel like you've been plunged in the ocean itself. With 80 different species, it's like stepping inside a nature documentary. What more could you ask for?

After making the most of all these marine wonders, it's time for a little shopping at Yanbaru Ikono Mori Park! Here, you can fill up on souvenirs and unique mementos for friends and relatives who couldn't make it out here with you. There's something for everyone, so you'll have no problem finding the perfect Okinawa piece to take home with you.

To end on a high, a dinner with local dishes is a must, made even more typical by the traditional Ryukyu dance accompaniment. You'll find yourself immersed in a mix of rhythms and colors, which will transport you to the beating heart of Okinawa. Every step made by the dancers will bring you closer to understanding the soul of this island. And while you eat, you'll ask yourself: "How come I never came here before?"
