Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
If you're a photography buff go for the big tank around 4 PM. The lighting gets amazing then and the colors pop like crazy. I wished I had known that beforehand!
My advice is to check out the Kuroshio Sea tank first! It's the biggest and by far the coolest - save the smaller exhibits for later when you're winding down. It was a great starting point.
Mount Aso
Sakurajima
Sakurajima Volcano
Mount Kaimondake
Tanoura Beach
I suggest bringing some snacks and drinks since there's limited options around the beach. I ended up spending more on overpriced food, which wasn't that great. Save your yen for ice cream instead
Akutaya Beach
I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks since there aren’t many shops nearby. This way you can save money and enjoy a lovely picnic on the beach without worrying about overpriced food!
My advice is to arrive around 4 PM to catch the sunset – it's absolutely stunning. You'll have less crowds too, making it a peaceful experience.
