Utilize low-cost airlines for airline tickets as well.

Airline tickets can also save a lot of money depending on how you choose.

Using LCCs (Jetstar, Peach, etc.) often costs about 20,000 yen less round-trip than FSC (ANA, JAL), making a trip to Okinawa on a budget much more realistic. Ticket grades are as follows

FSC (ANA, JAL) > MCC (Skymark, Solaseed) > LCC (Jetstar, Peach)

What is LCC?

You may think that "Okinawa in winter = no access to the sea," but many locals enjoy swimming in the sea on sunny days. Another advantage of winter in Okinawa is that tourist attractions are relatively empty, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy sightseeing.
