Choose a seat by the window, and your view is an endless expanse of deep blue sea, as if time stands still here. The food here is simple yet charming, with a touch of Okinawan flavor. I ordered the brown sugar chiffon cake, which had a moist and fluffy texture with a sweet aroma of brown sugar, paired with a refreshing butterfly pea flower tea.

Okinawa｜hoppepan In Okinawa's daily life, there are always small surprises that make people stop and take a look. In a corner of Urasoe City, there is a warm and healing bakery called "Hoppe Pan". The name of the shop comes from "ほっぺ" (cheek), which seems to imply that the bread here is so delicious that it makes your cheeks puff up unconsciously. As soon as you walk into the store, the aroma of bread makes you relax instantly. The atmosphere in the store is warm and rustic, and the shelves are filled with a variety of handmade breads, each of which is full of simple care and deliciousness. I particularly like their croissant series, which has distinct layers and a crispy texture. It is the crispiest croissant I have ever eaten! Take a bite, the creamy aroma fills the air, and the crispy texture makes you unable to stop. Moreover, the store is very considerate and provides heating service, so that you can enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked food at any time. What’s even more outrageous is that this store is only open four days a week! To eat this delicacy, you really have to calculate the time accurately so that you can taste this limited happiness.

Okinawa｜Nanjo The sunshine in Okinawa always brings healing magic.

#2024TravelReview I went on a 3-day, 2-night trip to Okinawa on a whim. I stayed at the Hoshinoya Resort's #omo5 Okinawa Naha for the first time. It is close to the Kenchomae Station of the Naha Light Rail, and is only a few minutes' walk away. I can even walk to the bustling Kokusai-dori. The geographical location is impeccable. This time we stayed in a twin room. The official website indicated that the room size was 19 square meters. Probably because there were two beds and the bathroom was separated into independent dry and wet areas, I always felt that the space in the room was not big. Fortunately, there is a comfortable long sofa by the window and the bed is also comfortable to sleep on. As for the room rate, a twin room costs $3,000 per night, and breakfast costs an additional $269. To be honest, Taiwanese people have an inexplicable love for the Hoshino brand, and many of the guests staying at the hotel are Taiwanese. In addition to the hotel's design, novelty and comfort, OMO's biggest selling point is its free guided tours, which come in two routes: Shuri Castle or Makishi Market. They are quite interesting, but reservations must be made in advance. #OkinawaTravel #Naha #HoshinoyaGroup #omo

Visiting the famous Gyokusendo Cave in Okinawa feels like stepping into a mysterious underground world. The cave is illuminated with dazzling lights, and the stalactites come in various shapes and forms, some resembling jade trees and others like cascading waterfalls, leaving visitors in awe. Following the guide's steps, each turn reveals a new breathtaking scene. The temperature inside the cave is comfortable, and the air is fresh, making one forget the heat and noise outside. This trip to Gyokusendo Cave not only allowed me to appreciate the marvels of nature but also deepened my understanding of the magic and beauty of Okinawa. I look forward to the next opportunity to explore this mysterious underground paradise again!

Okinawa was once a colony of the United States, leaving behind a lot of American traditional culture and cuisine. Among them, burgers and pancakes have flourished in Okinawa. Many people usually go to chain stores, but this time we found a local place where you can enjoy both delicacies at once. This place is known only to locals. Among the tourists, it was just my boyfriend and me 🤣 but it didn't stop us from enjoying the food and taking pictures. The burger was huge, impossible to finish in one bite, and the meat juices were bursting out. The fries were just the right thickness, delicious even without ketchup. The pancakes looked very American, with cream bigger than a person, but not greasy at all! Delicious. 📍Kona Coffee

There are not many food choices, and the taste is average, but the photos are really great. I think I should try oysters, octopus sashimi and stir-fried bitters here. The oysters are only $20 each, and they are already fresh and sweet without the lemon juice. Okinawa octopus is very famous, so each piece is very refreshing. And bitter melon is really a must try, because it will sweeten.

🎐 Generally, the impression of a stalactite cave is dark and damp. However, Okinawa's Gyokusendo Cave is quite different. With the meticulous lighting management by the local staff, I deeply felt the wonders of nature, as if stepping into a mysterious fairyland: 🌀 As I stepped into the entrance of Gyokusendo Cave, a cool breeze greeted me, immediately dispelling the outside heat. The temperature inside the cave is maintained between 20 to 23 degrees, making it comfortable and pleasant. As I gradually went deeper, the soft lighting illuminated the path ahead, and the surrounding stalactites began to come into view. 🔎 Turning the first corner, I saw stalactites of various shapes, some resembling elegant dancers, while others stood quietly like guardian deities. The lights cast enchanting shadows on the stone walls, making each stone sparkle. The further I went, the richer the colors of the lights became, making the contours of the stalactites more three-dimensional. 👣 Following the slippery path, I arrived at a spacious cave hall, where the stalactite columns were grand and magnificent, as if telling me stories of a thousand years. The lighting designers cleverly used lights to dress the stalactites in different colors in various areas, making the stalactites appear dreamlike in the interplay of light and shadow, bringing new surprises and emotions with every step. 😱 In the final stage of exploration, I reached a special area of stalactites, where the lights focused on a row of particularly small, seemingly newly formed stalactites. I couldn't help but stop and admire these natural sculptures that looked like works of art. Under the illumination, these stalactites seemed to come to life, attracting the attention of every visitor. 👍🏻 This adventure in Gyokusendo Cave not only left me in awe of nature's wonders but also deeply appreciated the charm of lighting art. Every corner was filled with mystery and beauty, making it hard to leave. If you have the chance to visit Okinawa, don't miss this stunning must-see attraction!

Okinawa has many islands 🏝️, and there are few transportation options. Buses 🚌 are infrequent and take a long time, making it suitable for self-driving trips. My first self-driving trip in Okinawa 🚗 was blessed with blue skies and clear weather. I fell in love 😍 with Okinawa's daily blue skies and white clouds! One of the itineraries: @Manzamo @Cape Zanpa Lighthouse For self-driving trips, be aware that it gets dark early, and many areas have no street lights. Drive carefully.

Stepping into Shurijo Castle in Okinawa feels like traveling back to the prosperous era of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The castle walls, predominantly red, stand magnificently against the blue sky.

The village is filled with staff dressed in traditional attire, performing Okinawan dances on street corners or inviting tourists to participate in cultural activities, allowing visitors to not only see but also experience the unique customs of this land.

Additionally, the traditional drum performances and 'Shisa Dance' in Ryukyu Village are refreshing, with the lively rhythms and energetic dancers bringing the entire village to life. Visitors are often seen stopping to enjoy the festive atmosphere. 🎫 Ticket Information: Admission to Ryukyu Village requires a ticket, which includes access to various traditional activities.
