Family trip to Okinawa for 4 days and 3 nights in November
Photo wedding on the second day (Itoman City, South Japan)
Separate planes for the couple and their parents.
Lodging at Sheraton (Onna Village, northern Japan)
(1) Okinawa sightseeing tour on the 3rd day
Answers to your questions
First of all, congratulations on your marriage!
Proposal
(1) One rental car is fine, but two cars allow more freedom of movement.
(2) Note that it is somewhat difficult to move from the Sheraton to Itoman on the morning of the second day.
Expect to spend 100 to 120 minutes traveling from Onna Village to Itoman City in the early morning.
(iii) Parents return early on the last day.
If the flight departs as scheduled, one rental car will require early travel to Naha. In this case, sightseeing around Naha City after dropping off your parents would be fine.
On top of that,
Day 1: "Sightseeing from the airport to the hotel in Onna Village
The couple arrived after midnight. We will get the rental car first and relax for an hour on Senaga Island. We will return to Naha Airport in time to meet the whole family at 3:00 p.m. and leave for the Sheraton in Onna Village after the meeting. We would stop at the American Village in Chatan Town on the way down, and spend an hour or two there. It would be more efficient to have dinner there as well!
Day 2: "Focus on Photo Wedding!
Photo weddings are fun, but surely exhausting lol!
Let's concentrate on photography on this day! Since there is a lot of moving around, it is a good idea to return to the hotel afterwards and have dinner at the hotel! You will probably say "I don't want to move today! 😩" lol.
Day 3: "Great Sightseeing in Okinawa with Family
Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Bridge
Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Bridge (Kouri Island) are relatively close. Kouri Island has the most changeable weather in Okinawa. Decide which way to go first depending on the weather on Kouri Island!
Experience coloring Shisa at "Maimai Shisa"!
A few minutes drive from Churaumi Aquarium. Maimai Shisa can make wedding and family Shisa that have also been trademarked. They are really cute. The experience takes about 2 to 3 hours. If you are so inclined, you can finish it in one hour!
Only Sheraton has a zip line that goes over the ocean.
This can be done when there seems to be enough time, not necessarily on the third day! If you do northern sightseeing + ziplining on the third day, it will be quite a hard schedule.
If you want to go separately!
If you are going separately from your mother and grandparents, they can take a buffalo ride along Fukugi Namiki or see the flowers at the subtropical botanical garden in Ocean Expo Park!
supplement
If you want to stop by, I recommend Sesoko Ohashi, Sesoko Anti-Beach, and Red Grave Beach 👆 There are several parasailing companies near Sesoko Island, so you can make a reservation. The ocean of Okinawa looking at Sesoko Island and Mizuna Island is so blue that it is hard to pull out 😍 I am just worried that my schedule will be too packed w I skipped the Blue Cave this time. Try diving in summer on your next trip to Okinawa!
Gourmet food along the way
L Lota (Kouri Island), Izumi Soba (Motobu-cho), Kishimoto Shokudo, Furippa, etc!
Day 4: "After breakfast, go to the airport.
Sightseeing in Naha on the last day
If you have only one rental car, leave for the airport after breakfast. After seeing your mother and grandparents off at noon, return the rental car to the airport and enjoy a stroll along Kokusai-dori (International Street). ❣️ You can also make shell photo frames and natural stone bracelets at Kanoa Okinawa, located along Kokusai-dori. Souvenirs are great, but making something memorable is also recommended. ☺️
Kokusai-dori Gourmet
Okinawan Soba EIBUN, Sam's (steak), etc.
