2025 Uruma Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

#OkinawaTravel AJ Resort Hotel Ikeijima is located in a tranquil sanctuary on the north end of the secluded and less-visited Ikeijima Island. It boasts the unique Kuroshio Onsen and breathtaking ocean views, which are worth the price of admission alone. The hotel offers numerous recreational facilities, including a swimming pool, a children's playground, tennis courts, a natural beach, and the Kuroshio Onsen. The slightly alkaline spring water is known to soothe muscle fatigue and promote blood circulation, and the spacious bathing area is a delightful experience. As a resort, the room types are diverse, including Western-style, Japanese-style, and single-family cabins. The hotel evokes a relaxed, vacation-inspired atmosphere and offers ample space. A standard double room with ocean view is 35 square meters. Weekdays, two people sharing the room, including breakfast, cost around NT$3,500 per night, making it a good value, though it's best suited for self-driving.

#OkinawaTravel Although Okinawa's lesser-known tourist destination, the Katsuren Castle Ruins are a must-see for history buffs. The 15th-century stone walls of the castle, perched atop a cliff on the Katsuren Peninsula, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle walls, with their graceful curves, are a renowned scenic spot in Okinawa. From the high point, the curved structure offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. From the north, one can see the northern mountains surrounding Kinmu Bay and the outlying islands of Uruma City. From the south, one can see the Chinen Peninsula, Kudakashima Island, and the Nakajo Castle Ruins. At the foot of the castle ruins, Amawari Park showcases the history and culture of Katsuren Castle Ruins and Uruma City. Exhibits include artifacts excavated from the ruins, as well as exhibitions featuring photographs and videos. Admission to the park is ¥600 for adults.

The first photo with the title written on it is the view from the inn where I stayed☺️ It's a little difficult to get to from Naha, but there are fewer people, so it's worth going to Okinawa just to spend time on this island! In fact, that's what I did😁 [What is Tsuken Island?] Tsuken Island is a small island in Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture, with a circumference of 7 kilometers, one elementary and junior high school, one clinic, and one simple post office. In addition to the beautiful sea and beautiful beaches, 1/3 of the island is carrot fields, so it is also known as "Carrot Island", and you can find a carrot observation deck and sweet and delicious carrots for meals! You can enjoy a "peaceful trip" enjoying the nature and tranquility of Okinawa🤤 [Recommended Accommodations] ・Kamiyaso It's no exaggeration to say that I went here because I wanted to stay here🫨 The inn is located along a beautiful white beach, and the sea is right there! The view from the window is so close that you'll think, "I'm not on the sea, am I?" Apparently, the inn has produced many folk singers, and there is a stage in the dining room on the first floor, where you can enjoy live performances during the day. 😃 The food is delicious and filling! At night, you can have a barbecue on the beach, and of course carrots! In front of the inn, there is a swing that is both photogenic and comfortable! - Basic plan (includes 2 meals, dinner and breakfast) Adults ¥9,000 Children ¥6,000 Children Free - High-quality BBQ plan (includes 2 meals, dinner and breakfast) Adults ¥11,000 Children ¥7,000 Children Free I think you will be very satisfied with the basic plan! And what's more! "Artists only!! BBQ breakfast + accommodation, island revitalization performance plan with music" is ¥5,000 for adults, ¥3,000 for children, free for children. If you perform a live show at the inn, you can stay at a good price and interact with the inn. Musicians, it's a good deal! 🫨 [Recommended spots] You can do marine activities, but the main premise of Tsuken Island is to "enjoy doing nothing." So it's OK even if it's not summer! In fact, it's lucky that there are not many people on the island. The island is flat, so it's best to rent a bicycle to get around the island and relax at places that interest you. You can rent a bicycle at "Azuma Shoten" near the port for 500 yen a day. Cycle, cross the farm road, look at the sea, and relax at the inn. Spend your time slowly like this. [Access] Flights to Tsuken Island depart from Heshikiya Port Passenger Terminal. From Naha Airport, take the Okinawa Expressway and drive about 34km (about 40 minutes) From Heshikiya Port Passenger Terminal, take a boat for about 8km ・15 minutes by high-speed boat Round trip: 1,530 yen for adults, 790 yen for children ・30 minutes by ferry Round trip: 1,240 yen for adults, 630 yen for children *There are about 5 buses a day, but they may change, so please check the time before you go. You can also get to Heshikiya Port by bus from Naha Bus Terminal, and parking is free at Heshikiya Port, so you can also go by rental car 🙆 Please enjoy the best scenery and true relaxation 😊 #Introduction to beautiful scenery in Japan #Okinawa #Okinawa trip #Seaside scenery #Tsuken Island #Few people #Kamiyaso

🙋♀️ Okinawa soba with seafood and chicken and pork broth. Light but with a strong flavor! The soup is made by slowly bringing out the flavor of several types of seafood, such as dried sardines and kelp, at a low temperature, and then combined with chicken and pork broth. It's so delicious that I found a flavor I liked💓 🙋♂️ The original noodles made in the shop are made with wheat flour blended with whole wheat flour from Okinawa Prefecture! The smooth and chewy texture is appetizing😍It goes perfectly with the broth🌟 🙋♀️ Juicy and inari are also recommended❣️You can order juicy or inari for an additional 100 yen with Okinawa soba☺️It's nice to fill your stomach with a large serving of Okinawa soba, but it's also recommended to eat it with rice dishes such as juicy✨ 🙋♂️ All seats are tatami mats in the style of an old Ryukyu house! The restaurant has an old Okinawan style and all seats are tatami mats! There is also space between the seats, so I think even people with small children can feel at ease! ————————————— 【🏠 Name】Maruyo Seimen Shioya Branch【📍 Location】349 Shioya, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture About 55 minutes by car from Naha Airport 【🚗 Parking】Available (about 10 parking spaces behind the store) 【⏰ Business hours】11:00~15:00 Closed: Wednesdays 【👛 What I ordered】・Yokubari Soba Medium 900 yen + Juicy 100 yen・Sanmai-niku Soba Medium 700 yen + Inari 100 yen 【🏝️ Nearby facilities】Uru Marche, Undersea Road, Hamahiga Island, Ikei Island, Katsuren Castle Ruins, etc. #Okinawa Soba #Okinawa Soba Tour #Uruma City Gourmet #Okinawa Trip #Uruma City #Okinawa #Okinawa Gourmet #Okinawa Prefecture #Okinawa Tourism

#springgoodplace2024 #日本 #Okinawa #中海路 The road connecting Uruma City to Yonaga Castle and Heianza Island/Miyagi Island is one of the most famous sea roads in Okinawa. It should not be difficult for self-driving travelers to get there, but it will be more difficult if you take public transportation because there are only communities Buses pass by and are infrequent. This time I was pressed for time and the weather was bad, so I only walked around the Yonaga Castle side for a while. Fortunately, it was only lightly raining. Transportation: Take bus No. 52/61 and get off at the terminal "Yakina Bus Terminal".

#springgoodplace2024 #Japan #Okinawa #United Nations World Heritage Amahori was the last city lord of Katsura Castle. It was once prosperous. Currently, there is a visitor center and a permanent exhibition hall near the ruins of Katsura Castle. It is hoped that the city will become a tourist attraction together with the nearby pond in the future. But in my opinion, this plan may not be successful because it is relatively remote. Transportation: Take bus No. 52/61 and get off at "Satsuren Castle Ruins-mae".

The Katsuren Castle ruins are one of the oldest castles in Okinawa🤩 and part of the World Cultural Heritage👍🏻 Located on a towering limestone hill in Uruma City, it consists of five It is composed of curved wheels, showing a long and narrow shape. On the castle ruins, you can enjoy the beautiful sea view and the scenery of the Okinawa Peninsula, and you can also see the architectural ruins of the time such as the castle gate, well, and place of worship. The Katsuren Castle ruins also have a legendary history. It was once the residence of Amari, a peasant hero who once ruled Okinawa and developed overseas trade. Later, he rebelled against the Ryukyu Kingdom, but was eventually destroyed. , his wife Baidu Tayang also had a tragic fate, so the Shenglian City ruins is a scenic spot full of historical and cultural charm, worth a visit👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 📍 3807-2 Katsurenhaebaru, Uruma, Okinawa 904-2311 Japan #日本must-go check-in point #overseas travel #travel #weekend travel #japan travel #japanese attractions

It is featured in small print in tourist books, but there are relatively few tourists, so you can take your time looking around. There are slopes and stairs from the parking lot, so it may be difficult for those with weak legs. It is a castle ruin that can be visited for free, but it is quite worth seeing, so I recommend it. ♯trip2023 #wintertrip #greatview #autumntrip

#japanhotel #hot spring hotel #Okinawa what to do in winter #Okinawa Family Hotel #Unparalleled Sea View #Farm Animals #Must Visit I've been to Okinawa so many times, I always thought there was no real hot spring in Okinawa♨️. I went to soak in the underwater energy water before. Recently, I was introduced by a friend in Japan🇯🇵 and found that Okinawa has many leisure facilities suitable for winter. The more rocky, the other is the #hot spring hotel Okinawahotspring we are introducing this time This time this hot spring is really good, my father took a dip and then his feet slipped. He said it was very effective and asked me to book a second time soon 😂😂 It rained 🌧 when I went there for the first time, but this time it was finally nice 😆☀️ In addition to soaking in hot springs, the hotel also has many #children-friendly rides. There is also a large park, and there are puppies🐶 so that you can pull the leash to experience dog walking😆 For those of us who do not keep small animals, finally satisfied Tongtong's own wish to let the dog 😁 There are also rabbits and goats can feed 🌿🐐🐰, and #giant big thousand autumn, facing the unbeatable sea view🌊, swinging up like flying into the sky☁️☀️🌈 super fun The hotel also offers Roller roller skates and electric cars for rent, as well as free table tennis and children's playground, and #free massage chairs. The hot spring hotel itself includes one night and two meals, the night meal is a buffet of all-you-can-eat barbecue 🔥🥓🥩😍😍 with my favorite beef ribs all-you-can-eat, the next day's breakfast is also a buffet breakfast. The hot spring can also be soaked until 11 o'clock, there are indoor and indoor hot spring, suitable for me after throwing the children to sleep and then secretly out to soak in the hot spring 😆😆👩🏻, or 6:00 in the morning and can get up early and soak again 😂😂 There is also a free hot spring foot bath outside the hotel, and I think I can come and walk even if I don’t stay at the hotel. Or you can buy a hot spring package alone without staying in a hotel, or rent a private bath for your family to soak. The price is of course a little expensive, but the view is very beautiful😆. It's really suitable for winter parent-child activities, Tong Tong Xin Xin 👧🏻🧒🏻 both love to soak in hot springs ♨️ Details 🔎 can be seen here 👇🏻 AJ Resort Island Ikeijima 〒904-2421 Okinawa City Yonajo Ike 1286 Remember to follow and like our post to stay up to date with the latest #Okinawa Parent-Child Travel Information Itinerary

Visited in December 2022 *Amawari Park One of the main facilities There is a historical and cultural facility 😊 Not only were there exhibits on the excavated items from the World Heritage site of Katsuren Castle, and the history and culture of Uruma City, centered around the Katsuren Castle ruins, but we also enjoyed a live performance that told the story of Amawari, the 10th head of Katsuren Castle, with dynamic acting ✨ #tripmemory2022#Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #KatsurenCastleRuins

Visited in December 2022 *Katsuren Castle Ruins Katsuren Castle is known as the castle of Amawari, who resisted the Ryukyu Kingdom✨ In November 2000, it was registered as a World Heritage Site along with Shuri Castle Ruins, and it is the oldest of the five gusuku sites registered at that time😊 The "Ichino Kuruwa" at the top has a great view, and you can see Nakagusuku Bay and the underwater road below. It's the best view🙌 #tripmemory2022#Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #KatsurenCastleRuins

#Japan Attractions #I was surprised to see a giant ax 🪓😳 #It turned out to be an attraction # By the way you can take pictures of the series The creativity of the Japanese is really interesting and exaggerated. Maybe seeing that the place is very big and nothing to put, they make an ax for you to check in 😝 So they managed to attract us to get off the car 🚗 Giant ax location: Restored ruins 〒904-2421 Okinawa Prefecture Yonajo Ichi The hot spring hotel is about 3 minutes away from the big ax 🪓 drive without washing to arrive, except the big ax, inside there are some historical ruins there, nothing more than thatched hut 🛖 well, etc., not much to see, but free admission, if passing by can come to take pictures. But if it weren't for the big ax, I wouldn't get off the car 😂😂, proving that the big ax can be seen and placed, attracting many tourists, very practical.

They also serve meals, and the salt soft serve ice cream was light but rich and delicious ☺️ It's a wonderful spot where you can enjoy delicious meals and ice cream while looking at the spectacular views of Kafu Banta 😇 #OkinawaTrip #UrumaCity #KafuBanta #NuchimasuFactory

If you're traveling to Okinawa, this is the place to go 🐢✨ In Uruma City is the untouched nature of "Kafu Banta" ✨✨ It's so beautiful that you'll be moved 🌟 And the seawater is so clean that sea turtles come here to lay their eggs on full moon nights ✨✨✨ The location is just a few minutes walk from Nuchimasu 🌟🌟 #OkinawaTrip

If you're traveling to Okinawa, this is the place to go~✨ At the Nuchimasu Tourist Salt Factory, you can take a tour of the factory for free👍 The seawater is instantly dried with hot air, and the whole room is covered in smooth salt✨ The salt is then collected and processed by hand✨You can see how it goes✨ I learned how much care goes into making "Nuchimasu"🌟🌟 #OkinawaTrip

#SummerWeekendTrip #RemoteIslandTrip This place, called Cape Happiness in Okinawan, is a hidden gem with a spectacular view and is highly recommended. It is located on the remote island of Miyagijima, but it is also an island that can be reached by car from the main island of Okinawa. If you visit Miyagijima, be sure to stop by! Access About 1 hour and 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport

Being from Okinawa, I start my trip to Okinawa with my favorite restaurant, Wafutei. I've introduced many cafes that tourists go to, but I also want to go to restaurants where locals go! Wafutei is located near San-A, and the prices range from 1,000 to 2,000 yen, so it's a cheap meal out, and the portions are filling and highly recommended. #gourmet #summerweekendtrip #coupletrip #gourmettrip #gourmetfood #summertrip

When you think of taco rice, you think of King Tacos!! It's a stable, long-established taste. There are several stores in Okinawa, but this is the Yokatsu store. There are two benches outside where you can buy and eat. It's so delicious that one isn't enough? Once you start eating, you'll be hooked and won't be able to stop. If you come to Okinawa, this is soul food you should try‼️ #WesternJapan #Gourmet #TacoRice

I went to #HotelHamahigaResort, an hour's drive from Naha Airport 🏖 It's an island that can be easily crossed from the main island by bridge, but since it's an isolated island, the water is extremely clear! It's called the Island of the Gods and has many power spots ✨✨ Above all, there aren't many tourists yet, so it's a hidden gem, so I highly recommend it for those who just want to enjoy the sea and nature without doing anything ❣️ From the hotel, you can go down the stairs directly to the shallow beach called Murukuhama! You can use it like a private beach 🏖 From the hotel on the hill, you're surrounded by the sea and sky 180 degrees and there's nothing blocking your view ✨ Unfortunately, a typhoon was approaching, so snorkeling was postponed, but just watching the calm sea and the sunset was soothing ✨✨ #BreathtakingView #Okinawa #HamahigaIsland #BeachResort #RemoteIslandTrip #ResortHotel #t2203

Address: Inside Urumaché, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture Atmosphere/Facilities: Casual Recommended points: The whole octopus is included. There are a wide variety of sauces to choose from, so you'll never get bored! Average price: 700 yen for 5 pieces - a real bargain! Evaluation: The best takoyaki I've ever had in my life. There are also many other delicious things like Okinawa soba lined up, making it a secret gourmet area. I'll definitely be back! #gourmettrip #gourmet

Google Maps says it takes 1 hour and 10 minutes, but it's crowded so it takes longer than expected.

#Okinawa #Remote Island Trip #Remote Island Trip This is a power spot. The scenery changes depending on the low and high tide. If it is too high tide, your shoes may get wet, so be careful. The photo was taken at low tide. There are toilets and a parking lot nearby. About 43km from Naha Airport.
