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

Cape Zanpa Park is located at the westernmost tip of Okinawa Island and is an ideal place to combine natural beauty with leisure activities. There is a spectacular 30-meter-high cliff here, extending about 2 kilometers along the coastline. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent sea view and the famous sunset view here. Especially in summer, the beautiful sunset attracts many photography enthusiasts to take pictures. The park offers a variety of water activities, including diving, paragliding and kayaking, allowing visitors to fully experience the charm of Okinawa's ocean. In addition, the water at Zanpa Beach is clear and perfect for swimming and other water sports. There are also large green spaces and BBQ facilities in the park, which are suitable for family gatherings and friends' dinners. It is worth mentioning that Cape Zanpa Lighthouse is the only lighthouse in Okinawa that tourists can climb. From the top of the lighthouse, you can overlook the spectacular coastline and the surrounding natural scenery. This is an experience not to be missed. #2024TravelReview #JapanTravel

I don't really want to tell anyone about this izakaya, which mainly serves delicious Okinawan cuisine. The Okinawan cuisine is creatively arranged and all the dishes are delicious! [INFORMATION] Majun Rikka 📮 122 Takashibo, Yomitan Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture 904-0323 🕐 17:00 - 22:30 🚗 Parking available 📢 Reservations are a must as it's a popular restaurant! #0 Yen Travel Autumn

📍Detailed Address: The Southeast Botanical Gardens are located in the southeastern area of Chatan Town in the central part of Okinawa's main island. The botanical garden is divided into a northern and a southern section. The content of this travelogue introduces the northern section—the 'Paradise' of plants, which, in addition to plants, also features birds, small animals, and a light show. The southern section is a pure botanical garden area. 🚉Transportation Strategy: It is recommended to charter a car or drive on your own in advance. The location of the botanical garden is relatively remote, and it is easy to take a taxi from the city, but there is a high possibility that you may not find a return ride (i.e., no taxi back to the city after leaving the garden). Chartering a car requires advance reservation. 🗓Itinerary Planning: We arranged a day to charter a car to visit the attractions around Chatan Town. The itinerary was: Ryukyu Village → Zanpa Cape → Lunch → Kadena Air Base → Southeast Botanical Garden. 🕙Business Hours: 9:30 to 22:00 (entry stops at 21:30). 🎫Ticket Price: Adults 70 yuan, Children 28 yuan. ⏳Play Time: 2~3 hours. 🌟Highlights: Light show. From November to April each year, the lights turn on promptly at 17:00 every day. Trees, ponds, and buildings are all equipped with light strips and other facilities. When the lights are on, the park completely transforms into another scene. It's stunningly beautiful, like a fairy-tale world. Free-roaming birds: The botanical garden's environment is one of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. Cranes, geese, and ducks are all free-roaming, and can be seen everywhere in the park during your visit. 👍Most Recommended: Small Animal Area: In the central area of the park, there are capybaras, land turtles, rabbits, and other small animals. Each type of animal has its own little garden, where visitors can feed and touch them from zero distance. There are vegetable packs for purchase by voluntary donation in the garden, with each bag containing several large leaves. Aviary: This is an area for various rare bird species, also allowing zero-distance contact. Shop: The entrance and exit of the park are at the same location, with a shop near the entrance. The shop sells souvenirs, drinks, and light meals. 📝Note tips: The feeding time allowed in the park is until 16:30 (rabbits, squirrel monkeys), 17:00 (capybaras). If you want to see everything, be sure to plan the order and timing well. 👎Least Recommended: The park's sightseeing car. There is a paid sightseeing car in the park, but it is recommended not to take it, as the area of the park is not super large, and walking is completely OK. ❤Recommended Reason: The Southeast Botanical Garden is Japan's first botanical garden and also one of Okinawa's heavyweight attractions. It can truly be said to be a destination suitable for all ages. Children can learn about the diversity of plants and feed small animals. Traveling together, you can easily take photos that capture the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. It is recommended to enter the park at 16:00, so you can first see the small animals and the daytime scenery, and then enjoy the night scenery and light show as it gets dark after 17:00. In this way, you will experience both the daytime and nighttime views.

I was looking forward to the Grand Style Okinawa Yomitan Hotel & Resort, where all rooms are suites. This time, I had a relaxing, adult hotel stay 🌴✨ The infinity pool with a spectacular view, which I was especially looking forward to, was temperature-controlled, so I could comfortably swim from morning to night and it felt great 😳 From 15:00 to 21:00, "CHILLAX" right next to the pool offered free flow of wine, beer, fruit punch that you can make yourself, and snacks 🍹💕 "BAR ZANPA" also offered free flow of carefully selected awamori from over 40 breweries in Okinawa Prefecture from the north to the south, and you could bring alcohol and snacks to the poolside, so it was a space where you could relax in the pool and drink alcohol by the pool, and it was a space you'd want to stay in forever 😳 In the morning, I was able to eat a delicious breakfast by the pool with this spectacular view ✨BRUNCH The breakfast concept is ANYWHERE, and you can eat four different menus that use plenty of Okinawan ingredients. You can have brunch at any time (7:00-14:00) and in any place (main restaurant "TASTE", lounge "CHILLAX", guest room, poolside, etc.) whenever you feel like it, which is really great ◎ 　 　 📍 #GRANDY STYLE Okinawa Yomitan Hotel & Resort #Accommodation Review

Mizuen is a popular bakery in Yomitan with a perfect atmosphere. There is a donkey on the sign, but there is also a donkey a little up the hill at the back of the store! The seats are available for those who order not only bread but also drinks. There are several seats inside the store and one seat outside. The bread is simple and delicious, but the cookies and other baked goods are also delicious. I like figs, so I always end up buying fig rye bread. If you go to Yomitan, please stop by.

CAPE ZANPA DRIVE-IN is a cafe located near Cape Zanpa in Yomitan. The chicken in the hamburgers here is soft and juicy, and really delicious. The first time I went, I had the plain one, and the second time I chose the jalapeno cheese one. The cheese came out in this shape! It looks 100% perfect, right? The restaurant is on a hill, so you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the beautiful ocean from the terrace seats. If you're heading to Cape Zanpa, be sure to stop by. Takeout is also available.

Yachimun, the pottery that decorates Okinawan cuisine, is something that everyone will see many times during their trip to Okinawa. It's nice to visit the shops scattered around Tsuboya Street in Naha and Yomitan, but if you want to go yachimun hunting in a short amount of time, I definitely recommend Yachimun Village! Walking along the path surrounded by greenery while listening to the beautiful birds, it's a good distance to explore to the end. There is a free parking lot and toilet at the beginning of the street, which is convenient. The yachimun displayed in front of each shop is also a must-see. Address: 2653-1 Zakimi, Yomitan Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture 904-0301 Atmosphere/Facilities: A quiet street that you can stroll around at your leisure except during events. Recommended points: In addition to purchasing pottery, you can also enjoy the climbing kilns, workshops, and charming streets. Average price: From 1000 yen, depending on the dish Budget per person: Some stores accept electronic money such as Merpay♪ Save up some money for Yachimun😄 Rating: Best #Okinawa #Yomitan #Souvenir #Drive #Dishes

Banta Cafe 560 Gima, Yomitan Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture Opening hours Monday-Friday 10:00-sunset Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 8:00-sunset Next to the Hotel Nikko Alivila in Yomitan Village is Hoshino Resorts.

The menu is mainly cafe menu. Drinks such as coffee and tea, and bread menu such as sandwiches. Pizza with bitter melon is recommended. On a nice day, you can see the beautiful sea, so it is recommended! #HoshinoResorts #HoshinoyaOkinawa

\\Tourist Spots// Yachimun no Sato, located in the Yomitan Village area of ​​Okinawa Prefecture, is a recommended tourist spot for pottery lovers. There are about 19 workshops, galleries, and shops in the area. There is a shared parking lot, so you can park there and take a stroll. Each workshop seems to have different closing days and business hours. The day I visited was a Tuesday, and although the website said it was closed, there were several workshops that were open.

A World Heritage Site in Yomitan Village. The appeal is that you can go there for free at any time, and you can also climb the castle walls. The view from the top of the castle walls is amazing♪ The only drawback is that there are not many buses that pass nearby... #ZakimiCastleRuins #OkinawaPrefecture #WorldHeritage

Hotel Nikko Alivila is a popular hotel in Okinawa. It is a European-style resort hotel. The beach is right in front of you, and it comes with hospitality, food, service, and a pool. The location is absolutely amazing ☺️ The baths are a little old, but they have a sense of dignity ^ ^ There are many spots that are perfect for Instagram, and the stylish atmosphere of the lobby is especially popular 💕 If you are looking for a resort hotel in Okinawa with the sea right in front of you, we recommend this hotel. It is about an hour from Naha Airport, and the location is not too far, so we recommend it ☺️ #luxuryhotel #luxuryhotel #luxury #hotelstay #okinawatrip #okinawatourism #okinawatrip

Banta Cafe attached to Hoshinoya Okinawa ☕️ Even if you can't stay at the coveted Hoshinoya, you can still use the cafe without being a guest 🥰 We went to the "Illumi Banta Night Lights at the Seaside" event, which is currently being held for a limited time, where the seaside is lit up at night 🌃 On a clear day, the sea is right in front of you, and the cafe has a truly spectacular view, but the atmosphere at night is also wonderful with the illuminations 💕 If you go to Okinawa, please be sure to visit ☺️ #Gourmet trip #Spectacular view cafe #Okinawa trip #Gourmet #Spectacular view #Okinawa sightseeing #Cafe tour #Cafe

I went to Cape Zanpa, one of the driving courses in Okinawa. The wind was strong, but it's nice at this time of year when it's neither hot nor cold. There are parlours, toilets and free parking, so you can rest assured. The view of the ocean from the cape is spectacular, but you can also climb the lighthouse here. (The lighthouse is a paid attraction, costing 300 yen.) I think the view is even more beautiful on a clear day. I recommend this spot! ️ #drivingspot #Okinawatourism #spectacularview

#Japan Attractions #Okinawa High Truck Experience🏆 # Suitable for what age to play 🏎 If you are looking for a thrilling sense of speed, you might as well play a high truck 🏎 racing experience. Last time we invited a group of friends to go together Single car - suitable for adults or children over 140 cm, can ride alone. (Driving license not required) Two-person car - the driver must have a driving license (But if an adult is carrying a child, the adult must have a driver’s license) Fortunately, my parents have driving licenses, so we can carry the two sisters Tong Tong and Xin Xin to play together Choose the time you want to play, (personally I think playing 5 minutes is enough) can play about 5-7 laps or so. If you are interested, you can go and experience it😆 Kukuru Yomitan Circuit 〒904-0323 1020-1 Takashiho, Hitani Village, Nakato-gun, Okinawa

I stayed at Hoshinoya Okinawa for two nights. It was raining, but the view from the room was still beautiful. At night, the lights of the ships were faintly visible in the pitch black darkness, and I spent my time gazing at the small dots of light moving slowly. You can smoke on the balcony, and they will bring an ashtray if you request one. However, ants climbed up on the sofa on the balcony and on the table inside the room, which was a bit of a hassle while eating. The bed mattress seemed to fit my body well, so I slept well and woke up refreshed. The bathtub was large and spacious. It was raining so I didn't go in the pool, but it looks like I could relax here too. The main dining room only had one window facing the sea, and most people were eating while looking at the wall. I had to go to the trouble of calling a cart and going to the main dining building to see why they had this structure when the beautiful sea was right there. But... is there a reason for this? We only had breakfast. To put it in a positive way, it was very filling, but for those with small appetites it was too much to finish and the taste was not to our liking. The fruit was not sweet and the grilled fish was tough, and we felt the balance between the price and the quality of the ingredients was not good. All the staff were kind and pleasant. If you don't care too much about the food and your top priority is relaxing while enjoying the view, this is the place to go!

Cape Zanpa Lighthouse & Cape Zanpa Park are important attractions on the west coast of Okinawa Cape Zanpa is located in the westernmost part of Okinawa main island. Therefore, you can enjoy the last sunset of the island here. One of the famous sunset spots in Okinawa Cape Zanpa Lighthouse is the only Okinawa lighthouse that can be climbed Stand on the 10-story lighthouse The view of the cliffs at Cape Zanpa is spectacular

#Clear water, young sand, super many fish beach🏖️ #When the tide recedes # Many fish like an aquarium The beach in Okinawa in summer is really not simple. Basically, Okinawa is surrounded by the sea. There are a lot of beaches, and it is very beautiful to go to one. This time is this located in Yomitan, next to the hotel, so the beach planned a swimming area, one side is the sea activity area (that is, for you to play banana boat, jet ski, canoe the D) 🚣🏻 The water clarity is very high, when the water recedes 🌊 straight adults can walk to the float, and there are lifeguards, quite safe. On the other side, near the rocks there is no planning swimming area, so there is a lot of #marine ecology, just walk a little closer has seen super many fish 🐠 swimming, do not have to snorkel to see 😍🪸 walk out a little more, even some fish bigger than the palm 😳😳, there are many large sea cucumbers, the we do not think to catch back to eat 😂😂 There are many Japanese with nets to catch fish, we of course joined the ranks😂 Unfortunately the fish🐟 are very smart, swim very fast, can not be caught at all. And the photos are super beautiful, it feels like the whole person is standing in the middle of the sea 😆😆 🍀☘️🍀☘️👧🏻🧒🏻🍀☘️🍀☘️ 📲FB: Tong Tong and Xin Xin Okinawa Notes 📸 IG: selene_n_selina 🎥 Youtube: Tong Tong and Xin Xin Okinawa Notes #Okino #Okimo move #オキナワ #okinawatrip #okinawatravel #okinawalifejapan #okinawaphoto #Okinawa Sightseeing #Okinawa Specialty #Okinawa Attractions #Okinawa Tourism #Okinawa Travel Plan おすすめ #japan_vacation #Oki縄観光スポット #Okinawa お土产 #Okinawa大好き #OkinawaTravel #大縄好きな人と繋がりたい #Okinawa stunning #Okinawa beach 🏖️ #Whoかに见せたい view #Tong Tong and Xin Xin Life Notes #Resident Writer #Overseas Travel #Japan Attractions

The exterior has a lovely Southern European style, the interior has a picturesque design here and there, and the rooms are lovely, so I was able to forget about my daily life and feel very refreshed.
