USS Emmons

The American sunken naval vessel, USS Emmons, found north of Kourijima, which is located north of Okinawa main island, makes up the diving spot of this area. The vessel was found and reported by local divers in February 2001. This location has the potential to become one of the best diving spots in the world.

The wreck hauntingly sits a fair way down on its starboard side amongst a large debris field. Unlike a lot of wrecks I’ve dived on, this one has little coral formed on it. There is a reasonable amount of marine life but the attraction is the wreck itself. We did two dives, the first stern to midship, the second from now to midship. The visibility was good but the surface conditions tough with large swells. We thoroughly enjoyed the dives on this beautiful piece of maritime history.

Nakijin Castle Ruins

Reviewed By Niameow - Canada, null

I planned to visit Nakijin Castle, but intentionally, I did not do much research prior to. When I got to the site, it was mid-February, and most of the cherry blossom were done, but still had some left, so that was still very pretty. The stone works were beautiful, and the view from the site was very beautiful. Although this site does not have a castle itself to look at, it was definitely worth checking it out. If you plan to visit Churami Aquarium or Nago/Kouri area, I'd definitely recommend to make a stop here!

The views at the top of the tower was breathtaking. There is a gift shop that makes their pastries and snacks on the spot as well. A good place to spend an hour or two soaking in the amazing sceneries around you. There is a restaurant located there as well for you to sip coffee and have a relaxing morning or afternoon.
