If you are a sucker for an Okinawa beach, you will love the Sun Marina Beach, which sits on the north-eastern shoreline of Onna and boasts some of the best water quality. Here, you can enjoy the cooling sea breeze against the warm sunlight of the Okinawa weather. With relatively calm waters, Sun Marina Beach makes for the perfect place for the young and the young at heart. The promenade on the lagoon is open to the public. Jet skiing and snorkelling are the two most popular activities here.<\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Sun-Marina-Beach-Hotels.0-l6293480-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Sun Marina Beach [\/button]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cherry-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Shujiro Castle<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47275 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shuri-castle-night-far-view.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Shujiro Castle at night\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/shuri-castle-night.jpg\" alt=\"Features of Shujiro Castle at night\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to expose the young ones to some culture, I recommend Shurijo Castle.

It was the administrative centre and house to the Ryukyu emperors for centuries until Okinawa became a Japanese prefecture. In the evening, Shurijo Castle glows majestically in the fading sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many celebrations they hold throughout the year is the annual Shurijo Castle Festival. Towards the end of October, Shurijo Castle breathes the Ryukyu Dynasty back into life with three days\u2019 worth of parades down the streets of Naha. Here you will witness lion dances and traditional processions with nearly three thousand participants. On other days, visiting hours are from 8.30am to 7pm. Admission is 820 yen, and a typical visit duration ranges from 1-1.5 hours.<\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Shurijo-Castle-Hotels.0-l6103854-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Shurijo Castle [\/button]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cherry-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Kokusai Street<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/okinawa-international-street.jpg\" alt=\"Okinawa International Street\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/okinawa-street-food-mango-ice-cream.jpg\" alt=\"Mango ice cream from Kokusai Street, Okinawa\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-47269 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/okinawa-street-stalls-statue-figurine.jpg\" alt=\"Figurines from a stall on Kokusai Street, Okinawa\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of shopping and are looking for things to do in Okinawa, then this is the place for you.
