Traffic around Kokusai Street, the heart of Naha, is often heavy, and the Naha City Tourism Association suggests going by monorail. Tsuboya Yachimun Street is within walking distance, given as 5 minutes on foot from Makishi Station and 15 from Miebashi Station.
On Yui Rail from Naha Airport Station it is 13 minutes to Kencho-mae, 16 to Makishi, 19 to Omoromachi and 27 to Shuri. Tomari Port, where ferries leave for the Kerama Islands, is about 10 minutes on foot from Miebashi Station.
Okinawa's tourism site gives about 50 minutes by air from Naha Airport to the Miyako Islands and about an hour to the Yaeyama Islands, which include Ishigaki. A ferry also links Kagoshima Shinko with Naha Port, taking roughly a day and a night each way.
Okinawa is split into Naha Area, Central Area, Ishigaki Island, Miyako Island and Remote Islands Others. On the Naha Area pages you can choose Kumoji, Izumizaki, Matsuo/Makishi/Asato, Omoromachi/Shintoshin, Matsuyama/Wakasa area, Kume Surrounding Area, Oroku Surrounding Area, Shuri or Naha and others.
The Central Area lists Chatan Town, Okinawa City/Uruma City, Ginowan City, Yomitan Village / Kadena Town, Urasoe City and Chubu Others. The islands come in three groups: Ishigaki Island (with Iriomote, Taketomi, Kohama, Hateruma, Yonaguni, Kuroshima and Hatoma), Miyako Island (with Irabu and Tarama) and Remote Islands Others (the Kerama Islands and Kume Island).
Article 4 of Okinawa's nuisance prevention ordinance bans touting unspecified people in public places for venues where staff entertain customers of the opposite sex over food and drink, among others. Persistent touting, such as blocking someone's way or following them, is banned too. Ignore street approaches and choose the venue yourself.
Okinawa is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
