Katsuren Castle Ruins

Easy climb to the top with greenery all along the way. Good view of the ocean with many photo spots. Can imagine the grandeur of the castle in its heyday.

Kafu Banta

Reviewed By g0_f0r_it - Singapore, Singapore

This was one of the highlights of our trip and definitely worth the drive there. Park at the Salt Factory, and from the carpark, there was a sign indicating a viewpoint with a great scenery. Just walk up a few steps and the view is indeed spectacular. The cool windy weather and the few tourists added to the enjoyment. After watching the sunset at Kafu Banta, we went to the Salt Factory where there were a few displays on how salt was obtained, and where there were nice clean toilets.

Cave Okinawa

Reviewed By timbarrable - Bunbury, Australia

Stumbled upon this place while driving across Okinawa so thought I would stop and take a look. Really beautiful cave with a walkway from one end to the other. Its about a 15 min walk to the cave entrance from the carpark where you get your ticket and the whole walk takes probably about 45mins to 1 hour. I was actually the only visitor although I passed some people arriving as i walked back. Lovely rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites...

Kaichu Road

Reviewed By Cyber0515 - Tokyo, Japan

勝連半島と平安座島を結ぶ道路。沖縄本島と平安座島・宮城島・浜比嘉島とを行き来するための重要な道路となっているが、その道路から望む海や景色が、季節を問わず素晴らしい。途中の道の駅で車を停め、休憩がてらしばし周辺を散策することをお勧めする。道の駅では文化資料館や観光案内程度で、これといった名所は無いが、遮るものが無い真っ青な海とそこに浮かぶ1本の道路だけでも充分見ごたえがある。 潮が引くと、砂浜に降りて歩くことが出来る。砂の波紋が美しく、ゴミも全くといっていいほど無く清浄なため、ただ散策するだけでも穏やかな気分になれる。うるま市に来たら必ず訪れたい場所の一つだ。 The road is only maritime road connecting Katsuren Peninsula and Henza Island. Because it is a straight road over 5km, the seascapes from this road is very wonderful! I recommend you to stop your car at the roadside station and taking a walk around there. At the time of the ebb, you can get down on the sand. The ripple of sand made by the flow of the sea is so beautiful. Walking in the place without garbage will clean your mind. If you visit Uruma City, it is one of the places I recommend you to visit!

Bios no Oka

Reviewed By wizadofwas - Telford, United Kingdom

If the weather is kind - not raining then this is a great place to while away some hours with the family - young & old. Once you enter through the tunnel & lift the main area is ot far - which boasts the kids climbing area, small train, ox pulled ride, cafe, swings, animals & some activities to try out such as stilts & rings. Some of our older members found hammocks to catch a nap whilst the kids played. Afterwards there are some nice grounds to walk around, take boat ride & head back to the park & swings which our kids loved. There is a pretty large shop on the way out - but we did not leave enough time to browse.
