Hello riders! In this blog, I’ll take you through a 3-day, 2-night motorcycle tour around Okinawa's main island — counterclockwise — on a rented **Kawasaki Eliminator 400SE** from **Rental Bike Goya**.
Packed with stunning views, delicious Okinawan cuisine, and spiritual locations, this course is perfect even for first-timers exploring Okinawa by bike.

### 🌴 Day 1 | Naha → Southern War Sites → Kudaka Island (The Island of Gods)
▶ **Bike Pickup at Rental Bike Goya**
After arriving at Naha Airport, a 10-minute taxi ride gets you to Rental Bike Goya.
Checked in for my reserved Eliminator 400SE — plenty of luggage space and that classic cruiser rumble!
▶ **Prayers at Himeyuri Tower**
One of Okinawa's most well-known WWII sites. The solemn atmosphere is palpable the moment you park. A quiet place to pay your respects.
▶ **Spiritual Stop at Kudaka Island**
Just a 15-minute ferry ride from Azama Port. Rented a bicycle to explore this sacred island. Visited Ishiki Beach, a spiritual site from ancient Okinawan mythology.
▶ **Lunch at Café R (Nanjo City)**
Enjoyed an ocean-view lunch at Café R. The taco rice and dragon fruit smoothie — made with local Okinawan ingredients — were phenomenal.
▶ **Ride Across Nirai Kanai Bridge**
This scenic bridge is a must-ride. There’s a viewpoint near the end where you can snap pics of your bike against the sea backdrop.📸
▶ **Stay at Okinawa Grand Mer Resort (Okinawa City)**
Great night views and an American town vibe nearby. The perfect way to end the day with a taste of "overseas" Japan.

### 🌊 Day 2 | Head North – Kouri Island & Okinawa Cuisine
▶ **Underwater Road to Hamahiga Island**
Early morning ride across the Kaichu-doro (Underwater Road) to the serene and spiritual Hamahiga Island. Felt like riding through a myth.
▶ **Don't Miss Heart Rock on Kouri Island**
Crossed the famous Kouri Bridge over emerald waters to Kouri Island. Stopped at Café Fukurubi for breakfast — terrace seats with a full ocean panorama.
▶ **Lunch: Soki Soba at Kishimoto Shokudo (Nago)**
A legendary soba shop. Thick cuts of pork rib and homemade noodles — unforgettable.
▶ **Afternoon at Nakijin Castle Ruins (UNESCO Site)**
Rode up to the historical ruins of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The coastal view from the top is amazing, and the uphill ride is fun on the Eliminator.
▶ **Stay at Hotel Oceans Nakijin**
A quiet inn offering local fisherman's cuisine. Drifted off to the sound of waves — true touring luxury.

### 🍖 Day 3 | Steak by the Base → Last Cheers in Naha
▶ **Lunch at Kadena US Military Marina**
Massive American-style steak grilled to perfection. It’s a bold and flavorful experience you won’t forget.
▶ **Nap Break at Araha Beach**
If you have extra time, this is a chill place to rest or shoot some scenic videos.
▶ **Wrap-Up with "Senbero" on Kokusai Street**
Back in Naha, hit the Senbero Alley for Orion beer + Awamori combos. Pair with soumen champuru and toast to the ride!
