Recommended Okinawa honeymoon trips in January

Okinawa has a relatively warm climate even in January, allowing you to enjoy many tourist attractions and activities. Here are three examples of ways to enjoy Okinawa in January:

1. Participate in Okinawan festivals and events:

January is the time when traditional festivals and events take place in Okinawa. For example, on January 6th, the "Sanjii First Sale" is held in Naha City, where traditional Okinawan dishes and accessories are sold.
① In January, the "Oshirifo Festival," where Okinawan sake products including shochu are gathered, will be held.

② The Okinawa Flower Carnival will be held. Starting around January 21st, the "Motobu Hachigake Sakura Matsuri" will get underway. The "Motobu Hachigake Sakura Matsuri," which is the fastest sakura festival in Japan, will also feature sakura light-up at the Ikeno Castle Ruins, a World Heritage Site. In 2023, the "Seven Colors Campaign" was also held. The "Seven Colors Campaign" also offered the chance to take photos of the sakura flowers and plants blooming in Okinawa and win luxurious prizes.

2. Spending time at sea:

Even in January, the water temperature in Okinawa is relatively high, allowing you to enjoy beach bathing and water sports. For example, you can visit the "Wanaz Beach" and "Maerida Cape Beach" on the west coast in January.

3. Tour the tourist attractions of Okinawa:

The recommended place to visit in January is Hayachimonri

Yakushin no Sato is a tourist spot where workshops of the traditional Okinawan craft "Yakushin" are gathered in Yomitan Village. There are nearly 60 workshops in Yomitan Village, but about 20 of them are gathered in Yakushin no Sato. Because the designs and methods of making vary from workshop to workshop, it is also a good idea to compare them with each shop.

Churaumi Aquarium

The wedding photography at the Churaumi Aquarium is also a popular spot for photos.

4. Clothing

The highest temperature in January was 19.5 degrees Celsius, and the lowest was 16.4 degrees Celsius. The sun will make it quite warm when it shines, and it will quickly get cold as it gets cloudy. The weather is influenced by the wind, which is characteristic of this area. The wind is strong, so the actual temperature can feel much colder. Anything you can wear over it is essential, such as a coat or jumper. Having a heater like a heater pad is a great comfort for those who suffer from cold feet. Also, don’t forget to keep your feet warm by choosing warm socks!
