日本沖繩縣 Okinawa, Japan
2020年應該是歷史上難忘的一年， 期許所有人都能更珍惜這份得來不易的自由和健康，離上篇文章一轉眼已經好幾年了，今天要跟大家分享日本沖繩的四天三夜自由行。
希望在疫情過後，大家又能回到那個想飛就飛的時光! (本篇文章照片和圖片可以點擊放大)
The year 2020 will be unforgettable due to the pandemic. Hopefully after the lockdowns are finished everyone will have a greater appreciation for their own freedom and health. I hope the ones who still suffer from the diseases can recover soon, and people can feel free to travel again. (The images provided in this article can be enlarged by clicking)
樂桃航空 Peach Airline 第一次看到航空餐點有大版燒，有興趣的可以自費嚐嚐，台北-沖繩的飛行時間僅1個半小時，很適合帶長輩幼童出遊的地方。2人含一件20公斤行李的來回機票約台幣1萬1，早鳥班機可能更便宜僅供參考。 The trip only takes 1.5 hours to fly from Taipei, which is a comfortable distance for a family vacation with kids or older relatives. The flight cost for 2 adults plus one 20kg suitcase is around USD$350 return (prices may vary based on the season and/or promotions). |
機場過完安檢就有租車公司舉牌在門口等

沖繩旅遊票卷: 出關領取行李後可以在櫃檯選購， 我們買4個景點+1水族館，兩人台幣$2300或提早網路購買票卷詳情可參考 KKday Okinawa travel pass: We picked 1 Aquarium ticket + 4 other attractions. This cost USD$80 for two people. For more details and options you can go to the website KLOOK.
72小時網路預訂台幣 $3,300 在櫃檯再加全險合計3天約$4,500
網站提供左駕說明和日本租車使用的國際駕照，提醒出發前要辦理好，取車時油箱是滿的所以還車時也必須加滿油才開回租車公司，要預留還車等待接駁車回機場的時間，沖繩的導航是使用一串代碼，如果輸入地點會找不到，要記得把地圖上提供的MAP Code設定好再出發
Renting a car costs around USD$150 with full insurance cover for a 3 day deal. Remember you must have your international driver license ready before arrival. Also, you need to reserve enough time to refill the gas, before returning the car and taking the shuttle back to the airport. When driving in Okinawa, navigation uses MAP Code instead of address; make sure you set up the MAP Code before departing. The MAP codes can be found in most travel maps.

國際通: 機場附近有知名的Shopping 一條街也有唐吉珂德。 午餐時刻我們隨意走入了一間燒肉店八重山，單點的價格不菲但品質有保證。"Kokusai dori" is the main shopping street near the airport, with plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops. After a short break for lunch we drove to our hotel for check in.
連續3晚都待在這，頂樓有浴場供住客免費使用，可惜戶外泳池沒開放(須付費)，由於冬天淡季，房價約台幣$3500一晚含自助早餐吧，很不錯的選擇， 旺季房價會貴上1.5~2倍。
We stayed at Vessel Campana Hotel, which is walking distance to the American Village. I highly recommend to soak in the thermal pools in the hotel. The well-known outdoor swimming pool (paid service) was unfortunately not open as we were there in Winter. The price, which included buffet breakfast for two, was around USD$120 per night (the price can double during the peak season). |

隔天一早出發前往車程近2小時，沖繩的高速要收費，記得上高速時要走現金道。
Next morning, we drove to see the Ocean Tower on Love Island. The view of the wonderful blue sea from the tower was breathtaking. This is definitely a must visit spot.

第一次在日本自駕遊， 道路比起台灣或紐西蘭都來的窄，海岸限速60km/h,，在前往北區海岸線約花了近2小時， 由於很多郊區晚上沒有路燈，建議要預留回程時間或可以預訂北區飯店。
The speed limits for the country/coast road is 60km/h, and the road is quite narrow compared to Taiwan and New Zealand. In many places there are no road lights after sunset, so make sure to plan plenty of time to get back to the city before it gets too dark.

便利超商Lawson 我最愛的休息站，幾乎每10公里就有一間，提供現炸熱食飲料&乾淨無比洗手間， 大部分門口有停車場，建議自駕累的時候，一定要休息補給精神再出發 。 Lawson is a convenience store with delicious hot food and super clean restrooms, and is a great place for taking a break. Driving in Okinawa can be tricky after sunset, make sure to have a rest if you feel tired.  |

晚餐CP 值超高的 燒肉乃我那霸， 我們抵達時近晚上8點，幸運的不用排隊就可以入座，真的是肉食者的天堂非常推薦一定要嚐嚐看。 價格根據酒水和肉品有不同選擇等級。 "Ganaha Butaniku" - An excellent "all you can eat" BBQ restaurant, especially recommended if you are a meat lover. |

海洋博公園官網: 本門票包含在套票，入口處可以觸摸海星，裡面也有很多鯊魚含其他熱帶魚類。雖然沒有浮潛到,，但走在這個巨型的水族館也很令人難忘，推薦花點時間慢慢享受，園區後面還有海豚表演，但我們因為時間因素沒有停留，如果都要參觀完建議要預留半天時間。 Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium : One of the largest aquariums in the world and has succeeded in raising a number of whale sharks in the gigantic tank  |

今歸仁城遺跡(世界遺產) : 本來預計前往首里城，卻因為突如其來一場大火宮殿都在修復中， 而沒有排入行程。 計畫趕不上變化，今歸仁城有不一樣的驚喜，入山處有登山棍可以借取，下山再還回。也許接近傍晚人潮不多，也易感受到歷史的滄桑，綿延的石牆有如迷你萬里長城值得探訪。 每年1~2月份是櫻花季如果剛好有來可以來走走。

Orion 啤酒廠 (奧利恩樂園)回程短暫停留在沖繩知名的啤酒廠，酒廠有提供導覽但我們沒趕上，若有興趣的人可以參考他們的官網。(酒精飲料僅提供18歲以上成年人試飲) Orion Happy Park They provide a free tour, but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to take it. Make sure to book before arrival if you want to take the tour. Remember the drinking age in Okinawa is 18+.  |

玉泉洞和國王村:玉泉洞是地下近1公里的大型鐘乳石洞區， 有點濕熱走時需要注意， 國王村則位於鐘乳石洞出口的地面上，有很多傳統房屋和餐廳(不喜歡爬蟲類的要注意，手扶梯上來有非常多毒蛇酒缸, 一整個驚嚇到,原來是蛇酒釀造廠) Okinawa World Bunkaokoku Gyokusendo : This is an underground limestone cave, where you can walk for nearly 1km, and see many interesting water and rock formations. On the surface there are traditional village houses, souvenir shops and handicraft activities. For those afraid of snakes, be aware that near the exit of the escalator, there are many snake wines placed on the ground - the brewery contains snakes in the alcohol!  |
