[2025 Onna ] Travel Guide for Cape Maeda (Updated Jun)

Cape Maeda, located in Onna Village in the northern part of Okinawa's main island, is a diving and snorkeling spot known as the "Blue Cave" 😊 Depending on the sea conditions on the day, you may not be able to see it, so you need to check in advance ☺️ Unfortunately, we were not able to go all the way to the bottom on this day, but we were able to see a very beautiful sea 🙌 *Cape Maeda 469-, Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture 904-0417 #gw2022jp #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #CapeMaeda

There’s a short footpath from the car park that takes you to a few scenic spots along the cape — just squeeze through the crowds of tourists on a snorkeling/diving tour. Very nice sea scenery against the rugged rock formations. #GiveThanks

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides Location Tag: Okinawa Island, Japan Hashtags: #OkinawaIsland #TropicalJapan #RyukyuSpirit #OkinawaBeaches #IslandTimeJP #OkinawaCulture #HiddenJapan #PeacefulParadise #BeachToCastle There’s an island where the waves are warm, the people smile with their hearts, and history lives just beneath the sand. That island is Okinawa. Unlike mainland Japan, Okinawa moves to its own rhythm—slower, sunnier, and infused with the spirit of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which once ruled these isles. From the moment I stepped off the plane, I felt it: a softness in the air, a laid-back charm, and a deep connection to land and sea. I spent my days wandering between turquoise beaches like Manza, Moon Beach, and the breathtaking Cape Maeda, where I snorkeled through coral gardens alongside tropical fish. The water was clear, the sand fine, and the sunsets unforgettable. But Okinawa is more than paradise—it’s profound. At Shurijo Castle, I walked through stone gates and into a vibrant legacy of Ryukyuan royalty. The castle, though partially damaged, stands proud as a symbol of cultural resilience. Nearby, the Peace Memorial Park offered quiet reflection on Okinawa’s wartime past—a reminder of the island’s strength and grace. And then there’s the food. I feasted on rafute (braised pork belly), sea grapes, and refreshing beni-imo (purple sweet potato) treats. Everything was colorful, flavorful, and nourishing—like the island itself. Okinawa isn’t just a place you visit. It’s a place that stays with you. With its gentle beaches, deep history, and soul-soothing energy, Okinawa welcomes everyone—from peace-seekers and divers to food lovers and wanderers. If you’re looking for beauty with meaning, Okinawa Island is your next story waiting to be written.

The beauty of Okinawa is that even on the same day, day or night can bring you different sensory enjoyment. A variety of canoe packages are available, allowing you to choose daytime, sunset or nighttime itineraries according to your preferences, allowing you to savor the beauty of the water at different stages. If you kayak during the day, you can enjoy the stunning cliff views. If you attend the sunset session, you will be deeply moved by the beautiful sea and sky painted orange by the setting sun. For those who are afraid of the sun, you can choose to kayak on a quiet night. In the dark, you can more clearly feel the breath of living creatures and the comfort of the gentle wind blowing across the water! Canoeing instruction and equipment introduction The instructor will carefully start with the basic instructions on how to use the canoe, and will introduce how to use the relevant equipment correctly and wear safety gear. He will then introduce the location and related content of the day's activities depending on the itinerary. During the activity, please be sure to follow the instructions and precautions given by the coach to have fun and be safe! #GlobalTravel

Beach51 is a recommended spot for Instagram in Okinawa. It's my favorite beach!! It's a bit like a cave, and if you take a photo from inside, the contrast between the human figure and the blue sea will make a very beautiful work! It's a photogenic place, so I really recommend it for a girls' trip to Okinawa📸🤍 There were a few people enjoying swimming and snorkeling around. Maybe it's not that well known yet, but there were not many people at Beach51, so please go with your friends and family next summer and take photos together~ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Beach51, Kunigami District 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelRecord #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #beach51 #MaedaCape #Beach

A holiday spent relaxing on the beach listening to the sound of the waves. The ocean in Okinawa is so clear everywhere that just looking at it makes me happy☺️ I spent my time dipping my feet in the ocean, walking on the beach, and taking pictures. It's very hot in the summer, but this Maeda Beach is a bit like a cave, and there are also shady, cool areas, so it's a place where you can spend a relaxing and comfortable time! The area around the Blue Cave is popular for divers, but Maeda Beach is a hidden gem with few people. Please go for a drive on your holiday. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Maeda Beach, Kunigami District 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelRecord #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #MaedaCape #Ocean #SeasideScenery #Beach

The clear blue sea seen from the edge of the cliff. There were surprisingly few people, so it was a hidden spot! The sea is so clear that it's also famous for diving and snorkeling. There were many people wearing diving suits! It's a perfect place for a drive, and the parking lot can accommodate about 180 cars. There is a blue cave nearby, where light shines into the cave and the water surface shines blue. I wasn't able to go this time, so next time I'd like to go to the blue cave too! ! Please go and see it. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Cape Maeda, Kunigami District 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ, iPhone 13 Pro ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelRecord #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #Beach #CapeMaeda #Sea #SeasideScenery

#0 yen trip November A tour of the famous Blue Cave! I was so moved by the beauty of the sea ✨ I was able to enter the sea from the stairs at the tip of Cape Maeda. On the way to the cave, you can see a lot of beautiful coral. The tour also included a feeding experience. I was surprised at how many fish gathered when I fed them all at once. The sea is clearer and more beautiful in the early morning.

#Okinawa Attractions Cape Maeda is a beautiful cape where the clear blue waters and the azure sky complement each other, forming a stunning natural picture. As you walk up to the cape, you will be deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of you, as if you are in a dream. 🏖️ The coastline around the cape is unique, with cliffs and beaches interlaced, which makes people excited. You can go hiking here, enjoy the spectacular scenery along the trails, and feel the power and beauty of nature. 🌄The beautiful sunset here is even more amazing!

Cape Maeda near the blue cave is exactly what you would call a hidden paradise. From the main road, you'll have to walk about 1km than pass through a bushy lane just as if you are entering the secret gardan and voila, this beautiful scene unfolds before your eyes. Not only it's so breathtaking, it's not at all crowded. You can enjoy your own peace with nature here.

#Okinawa Attractions The greatest charm of Cape Maeda is its magnificent sea view. It is adjacent to the vast East China Sea, with majestic Aofeng Mountain and the sea and sky blending into one. Visitors can stand on the observation deck on the cape to enjoy the beautiful views of sunrise and sunset, and feel the cool sea breeze on their faces. This sea view is undoubtedly an unforgettable part of the trip to Okinawa. In addition to its natural landscape, Cape Maeda also contains a rich historical and cultural heritage. This was once an important military stronghold during the Ryukyu Kingdom period. Today, the well-preserved castle ruins and ancient shrines allow visitors to explore Okinawa's unique historical and cultural charm. Walking on this land, it feels like traveling through time and space, feeling the profound charm of ancient civilization. Cape Maeda combines the natural beauty and historical culture of Okinawa, making it one of the most representative attractions on this tropical island. Standing here and looking into the distance will surely make you linger.

Can't go to the Okinawa Blue Hole to dive, so I switched to a nearby dive site to explore, although the day of the dive was relatively windy, underwater sand and rocks due to the wind visibility is also poor, but being able to make new friends in Okinawa is a good thing Okinawa’s high quality water has always been considered a must-visit destination for diving, and if you have the chance to visit Okinawa, you must go for a dive #JapanKorea Spring Good Place

Cape Shineida is located in the west of Enna in central Okinawa, where it is full of natural scenery and is a diving spot. However, Tsai is known to have a natural forest near the diving site🌳 I discovered that in addition to the forest, through the observation deck also saw sugarcane fields and natural beaches, it turns out that many Japanese TV series have been shot there😍 #JapanKorea Spring Good Place

Here are some recommendations for your trip to Okinawa ✨ At Cape Maeda in Onna Village, you can go empty-handed to the "Blue Cave" for snorkeling and diving ✨ We used "Muto Diving" Empty-handed snorkeling starts at ¥3,500 ✨ It was cloudy that day and the waves were not good, so the Blue Cave was closed. At that time, I went snorkeling in the sea of ​​fish and coral✨ I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but it was fun✨ The building that serves as the base for snorkeling and diving has showers, vending machines, and a warm udon restaurant, so it's nice that you can really do it empty-handed✨ You can even make a reservation on the day✨ This is a diving shop with a 120% recommendation✨ 🔹Blue Cave🔹 469-1 Maeda, Onna Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture Blue Cave (Onna Village) 🔹Diving Shop Muto Diving🔹 673 Nagarihara, Maeda, Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture #besttrip2023 #OkinawaTrip #DivingInOkinawa #SnorkelingInOkinawa #RecommendedDivingShop #EmptyHandedDiving #BlueCave #CapeMae

Like snorkeling must go to play, this time chose Rima Eida, from Asahibashi take 120 to Hakura walk in more than ten minutes, arrive at Shineida Cape grounds with changing rooms, shower to pay, 100 yen 4 minutes, lockers 100yen. Then walk along the parking lot on the left hand side to get there. When you get to the seaside you will immediately have the urge to rush into the water, the water is clear and there are more fish. It doesn't matter if you don't bring any utensils, you can buy them there 🤣

Day 2 of my trip to Okinawa! From Leku Okinawa Chatan Spa & Resort. To Cape Maeda and the Blue Cave! This time, I participated in the Island Club course! The sea is beautiful! I was moved to be able to interact with the fish!

all I can say is you HAVE and MUST visit this place if you're on Okinawa. Without it, it doesn't count. All the rocks you can climb, all the small beaches hidden behind the rocks or cliffs. Just take few hours during outflow and look around, let yourself be surprised by what you may find on another beach(and another, and another) or cave. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
