Sightseeing in Okinawa
Brochures and Maps
After you arrive at the airport and prior to going through immigration
take the time to pick up some brochures from the information desk in the
entry hall.
The first 3 brochures from the left can be picked up there, however I found
that the first two from the left were not available this time in March 2007
and I could not find them at the Tourist bureau either.
All brochures mentioned are in English.
The Naha map at the end (right) can be picked up from the Tourist Bureau
in Naha located not far from the Mutsumibashi Dori Market, the Okinawa Magazine
is also available there.
The magazines recommended below will be of great help to you, they contain
maps, tourist locations with relevant bus numbers, Monorail and bus route
information.
Once you are equipped with some Maps and Brochures you find that most
tourist attractions around Naha can be easily reached on foot.
For example to see the Shikanean Royal Gardens it takes just as long to
walk from the Shuri station as it does from the Asato stations in town next
to the Refine Apartments, there is no need
to catch the Monorail to Shuri from Asato.
