Recommended trips for newlyweds in June

In June in Okinawa, you may find yourself unable to go out because of rainy weather. On rainy days when going out is inconvenient, it’s recommended to enjoy the aquarium slowly or take other indoor activities like traditional crafts experiences. By late June, Okinawa often has clear weather, and when the rainy season ends, the arrival of the real summer is here! The greenery, the sky, and the sea become more vibrant, creating a true Okinawa-style landscape. Here are 3 ways to enjoy June:

 

1.Why not enjoy the sea on the remote islands of Wakatobi instead?

June in Okinawa is in the midst of the rainy season, with high levels of discomfort. However, it also marks the start of a season where you can enjoy the sea to the fullest. With easy-to-enjoy snorkeling, you can get up close and personal with coral reefs and tropical fish, and if you’re lucky, you might even encounter sea turtles and manta rays! Also, marine activities like kayaking, jet skiing, and banana boats are recommended for fully enjoying the blue sea of Okinawa. Even before June, when the rainy season ends, there are still sunny days, so be sure to check the weather forecast regularly. Before the rainy season ends, there will be more cloudy and rainy days, but the sunshine in Okinawa is quite intense, so be sure to take proper sun protection measures!

 

2.Even on rainy days, this experience is enjoyable indoors!

*Cerisier making and Cerisier coloring experience

Seesers are guardian deities that have been passed down from ancient times in Okinawa. Mainly serving as guardians of homes and warding off evil spirits, these seers are installed in many homes in Okinawa Prefecture. Why not make your own seers or paint them in colors to take them home with memories of Okinawa and display them in your home?

*Experience making Ryukyu glass glasses

Ryukyu glass is one of the traditional crafts of Okinawa. Its history began with the use of glass bottles that were recycled by the U.S. military stationed in Okinawa after the war. The “bubbles” created during the recycling process are one of the appealing features of Ryukyu glass, with a simple and warm design typical of the southern region. The delicate and vivid colors are also unique to Ryukyu glass.
