Naha Cruise Shuttles

Along Japan’s southernmost island of Okinawa, the Naha Cruise Terminal offers more than enough to experience the signature culture of South Japan, not only through off-shore islands and national parks reachable through short scenic ferry rides but cool high-speed transfers through modern wonderment via the Miebashi Light Rail Station located less than half a mile east of the port. Revered for its cleanliness and organization, the cruise terminal is also an easy welcome to take in, offering complimentary Wi-Fi and easy tourism information for English as well as Chinese speakers. Enjoy walks through various port-side attractions just around for the chance to stop and smell the flowers, or go with alternate transfers to make things easier, whether it be a simple sedan idyllic for quiet drives through the city or a tranquil meet-and-greet drop off to the vibrant Naha Kokusai Dori Shopping Street.

Placed along the Wakasa Berth, guests arriving will be funneled into the tranquil open-air space of Wakasa Park, offering pristine beaches at Asahigaoka Park as well as a combination of cherry blossoms and local Japanese heritage taught at the Tsushima-Maru Memorial Museum. Get immersed in the local culture by continuing inland, watching finely manicured landscaping and a noise-reducing waterfall at Fuzhou Garden, a staple of the city’s large Matsuyama Park that offers a quiet oasis from the constant chirp of downtown. Those interested in embracing the buzz should continue even more eastward, spending the day sifting through locally made souvenirs and snacks at First Makishi Public Market, especially popular for its connected roadway to the much more popular Naha Kokusai Dori Shopping Street. Savor in the local flavors before the day is up, the best restaurants including Ryukyu Sabo Ashibiuna’s traditional Japanese cuisine, or specialty Kobe beef at Jack’s Steak House.
