I was wondering, if you had limited time what would be the top 5 spots you would say are a "must see" while on Okinawa? Consider travel is no problem, pick any 5.

I have lived in Japan for a while now but I have never been to Okianwa, just one of those places I always wanted to go but haven’t made it to yet.
From the info I have found on the place I would say my top 5 places would be
1) Shuri castle
2) Churaumi Aquarium
3) Neo Park (for the kids)
4) Zakimi castle ruins
5) Any and all of the beaches
I would also like to check out Ishigaki Island but I don't know that much about it, can anyone tell me where to findo some more info on Ishigaki?

Unfortunately I have never been to Ishigaki either, but I love your top 5 list!!

Shuri Castle, I have been there and I love that place! So much history, and I just plain love Naha.

I live in Okinawa and...I am ashamed to say I have not made it to the Aquarium yet, but I have heard wonderful things about it for sure.

Zakimi Castle is really great. If you get the chance, go around sunset, there is a clear view all the way out to the Kerama islands. You'll understand why a king lived up there...

Howdy John!

Thanks for your advise.

I will definitely try Zakimi Castle next time.

Hope I can go back there this summer!!!
