Thanks so much for watching the video everyone! Check out Yujin's video of her top 10 restaurants in Okinawa here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8KZoOejzf0I.html

I lived in Okinawa for six years because my mom was in the Marines. We tried to be as immersed in the culture as possible and lived mostly off base. I loved it! Also that little whale shark character at the aquarium has not changed in 20 years 😂

I am from Okinawa but moved to America, seeing the Aquarium again gave me so much nostalgia😭

I was stationed in okinawa for 2 years with the Marines. There's so much to see and do, but walking the neighborhoods was one of my favorite things to do. If you ever go back, check out Nago.

@lostthenfound 3 месяца назад

Oh wow @lcpltylerhanyzewski there seems to be a huge American military presence in Okinawa. Seems like a pretty nice spot to be stationed in though eh! Saved Nago as a place to check out next time too, thanks for the recommendation!

A&W has branches in Malaysia and Singapore. They were first in Singapore in 1966. Way before McD's who had their first outlet in 1979. They exited Singapore in 2003 only to return in 2019.

@lostthenfound 5 месяцев назад

Wow @jinngeechia9715 they have been there since 1966! Had no idea about that! Excuse my ignorance. Will have to go check out Singapore and Malaysia some day!

There are so many beautiful places in Okinawa. Limiting yourselves to Naha primarily kept you from seeing the beauty of Okinawa. Rent a car and take any side road you see. You will never be disappointed.

@lostthenfound 3 месяца назад

That's the plan for our next trip! Already can't wait!

Enjoy your videos so much. Where I live there is zero to see. Just more and more housing developments going up. Thank you for posting and being real. Also like the fact that as a couple speaking the language of the country is so nice.

I was in Okinawa in March 2023, which took me 21.5 hours from the UK. C&C was great for breakfast, I too had the eggs Benedict (with bacon as opposed to smoked salmon) and we also visited pork tamago which is opposite and also very busy, we must've visited about 8-10 times, I absolutely love spam onigiri.

@lostthenfound 3 месяца назад

Oh wow 21.5 hours is quite a long way to get there @giuseppestorto9911! The eggs benny and pork tamago are amazing though eh!

Great Video! Just booked flights to Okinawa last week for october this year. Been two times to Japan (Honshu) before and wanted to visit Okinawa at least once. It's good to see some recommendations and your experiences with the Aquarium. We're not the biggest Zoo/Aquarium Fans, so we'll probably skip it. I'm currently watching a lot Videos about Okinawa and it's Places to find the right Hotel for our stay :) Was also thinking about getting a rental car, but am not sure yet. Also, i'm feeling exactly the same way as you, about what you said regarding tourist spots and just strolling around unfamiliar places and cities (18:37). I just loved it to walk around Kobe, Tokyo,... to pick up the foreign flair. So thanks for the video! And sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue :)

@lostthenfound 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much @ronsen7363! If you haven't been to Okinawa yet, you should definitely check it out! Also if you're not an aquarium fan, it's definitely okay to skip the aquarium in Okinawa. It would also be really convenient to have a rental car there if possible to see more of the island. Hope you can make it to Okinawa soon! Also your English is great by the way! I understood everything you typed no problem! :)

This is a very helpful video, thank you! 😊 What was the weather like for the week you were there? I'm thinking of going to Okinawa in October/November next year and hoping it will be warm enough to swim but not too warm for walking/hiking.

@lostthenfound 6 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot @frangipanisandgirl glad that it was helpful! The weather in November was about 22°-28°C during the day, so it's the perfect weather to swim and still be able to walk around! Strongly recommend going that time!

Of course! Thanks for watching! If you are staying at the same hotel, make sure you get the PIN number for the key from them before you travel there. The system seems to have a lot of errors haha. Once you get the key, the hotel is amazing though!

Japan is only an hour away and I've been over 15 times. This trip was just for us to go have fun after a really tough year, so we treated it like a vacation to relax together (more than being 100% authentic to Japan), and made this video just for fun. Please don't take it too seriously!

If you were to visit okinawa again, would you consider hiring a moped? Or maybe small car?. Seems like transport is time sink there.

I think hiring a moped or car would be a great idea if you want to travel around the island a lot, but we didn't mind staying in Naha for most of the trip to be honest!
