The means of transportation in Okinawa

Monorail

The monorail runs from the Naha airport to Tedako-Uranishi Station. Lovingly referred to as the Yui Rail by residents, it runs 17 km in length, and can complete this journey in 37minutes. The monorail will stop running if wind speeds exceed 25m/sec, usually when typhoons are nearby, so please be sure to check the local conditions and status of the monorail before embarking.

Bus

On the main island of Okinawa, buses can take you almost anywhere you want to go, making them ideal for sightseeing. In addition, there are tour buses for popular spots, limousine buses to take you from the airport to your hotel, and 1 day bus tickets for all buses within Naha City, so even those without driver's licenses can get to all of their must-see spots with careful planning.
