The Okinawa City Guides answer what every first-timer asks: where to find a proper bowl of Okinawa soba, how to see the Ryukyu castles and the war memorials in a sensible order, which beaches and islands suit the season and where Naha drinks awamori to live folk music. Each guide is a short list with a clear point of view, giving the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place. It opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Yunangi
Kumoji, Naha
A home-style izakaya kept going for half a century by a team of older women. Order small plates of goya champuru and jimami peanut tofu and finish with one of the homemade liqueurs. No show, just Okinawan cooking. From the food guide.
Nakagusuku Castle Ruins
Nakagusuku, 35 minutes by car from Naha
Curving 15th-century stone walls on a ridge, with the sea on both sides of the island in view. A small cart takes you to the top and you walk back down. Better preserved than Shuri and far quieter. From the things to do guide.
Furuzamami Beach
Zamami Island, Kerama islands
The finest beach of the Kerama group, with water clear enough to spot fish from the sand. In winter it is for walking and looking rather than swimming. A shuttle runs from the port, or walk 20 minutes over a small hill. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days with the guides
Day one: ride the monorail through Naha and Shuri with the things to do guide, eat soba and market snacks from the food guide, then spend the evening in Sakaemachi or at a shima-uta show from the nightlife guide. Day two: head north with the day trips guide for Churaumi, Kouri and the Motobu coast, or take the ferry to the Kerama islands. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides point you to museums, gardens and covered arcades.
