Summer in Onna Village Full of Charm

Onna Village, which is best visited in summer, is full of attractions.

Marine activities experienced in the height of summer are especially exhilarating and will refresh your body and mind. Here we will explain more about summer in Onna Village.

Please refer to the following information for Onna Village sightseeing.

 

Summer weather, temperatures, and precautions

In Onna Village, full-blown summer begins in late June after the rainy season ends.

In summer, the sun is strong and you will feel sizzling hot. Ultraviolet rays are also strong, so UV and sun protection is essential.

The average maximum temperature in August is 31.5 degrees Celsius, which seems low for a tropical country, but this is due to the fact that the wind from the ocean passes through, making it difficult for hot air to stay in the environment. It is very comfortable when the weather is dry and sunny.

However, summer (July to September) is typhoon season.

Don't forget to check the weather forecast frequently when visiting the area for sightseeing, as it is likely to be hot and humid due to the typhoon and there is a high chance of rain.

 

Advantages of Traveling in the Summer

The advantage of summer sightseeing in Onna Village can be summed up in one word: you can enjoy summer to the fullest. The Okinawan sea is very pleasant in summer. There are many marine leisure activities available, and it is only in summer that you can experience them according to your preference.

Even though it is typhoon season, only about 30 percent of the typhoons that occur approach, and otherwise the weather is so good that it would be a shame not to visit during this time of year.

There are also a variety of facilities that can be enjoyed even when a typhoon is approaching or the weather is bad, so even if you cannot play in the ocean, you can still enjoy a solid tropical experience.

 

Summer Fun

Enjoying gourmet foods and cool sweets unique to summer in Okinawa is great, but marine activities are not to be missed.

marine sports

Banana boat is one of the most widely known marine sports.

It is especially popular among women, as they can take pictures that look great on SNS. As the name suggests, you ride on a boat shaped like a banana, which is towed by a motorboat at high speed and runs around the surface of the sea in all directions, giving you a thrilling experience. This marine sport is called the roller coaster of the sea, and it is an exhilarating experience.

Wakeboarding and parasailing are also popular. Why not try one of these experiences when you visit in the summer?

 

Canoe/Kayak

This is an activity in which participants ride in a small boat on the river or ocean, paddling along on a paddle. The boat is stable and there is little risk of capsizing.

This is a great way to observe plants and creatures unique to the tropics from a closer distance.

Some designs have transparent hulls that allow you to see clearly into the water, so if you want to enjoy the ocean even more, check this out as well.

SUP

SUP is an activity that originated in Hawaii and has become a standard activity.

The specially designed boards are highly buoyant and stable, so even first-timers can get up and enjoy themselves right away. Its stability also makes it possible to do yoga on the water, and it is especially popular among women.

Remember to take UV protection in summer because of the strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Some plans allow you to watch the sunrise and sunset over the ocean, so be sure to take in the spectacular view.

 

Recommended Sightseeing Spots

We have compiled a list of the most popular tourist spots, focusing on places with beautiful sea and scenery.

Please refer to this page.

 

Blue Cave

The cave was named Blue Cave because the interior of the cave shines mysteriously blue due to the reflection of the sun's rays.

The space created by the combined forces of nature attracts many people and is a popular spot regardless of the season. It is best to visit in the morning if you want to enjoy its beauty, as it shines more beautifully when the sun rises.

There are many types of tropical fish and corals living in the Blue Cave, and many encounters await you. The Blue Cave is located in Onna Village, a resort area, and its easy accessibility is probably one of the reasons for its popularity.

Manzamo is a cliff made of Ryukyu limestone located in the center of Onna Village. It is about 20 meters high and is characterized by rocks shaped like an elephant's nose. The top of the cliff is flat and is a grassy park.

On a clear day, the ocean and the horizon look very beautiful. It is also a great location to watch the sunset.

There is a Ryukyu pine, which is designated as a prefectural tree of Okinawa, and Okinawa's endemic Hanakomikanboku and Okinawa violet can also be observed.

 

Manza Beach

 

It is located right next to the resort hotel and is easily accessible.

Manza Beach is equipped with a fairly large marine athletic facility, so there is plenty of room to play. The ocean is emerald green, clear and beautiful, and the sandy beach is as white and beautiful as it is.

A variety of activities are held on the calm beach, so you can find your favorite way to play.

Facing the beach is Manza-Mao, a very scenic sightseeing spot.

The observatory overlooks the East China Sea, and the atmosphere of people enjoying marine leisure activities and enjoying the Okinawan sea is palpable.

Swimming is prohibited in case of bad weather, so individuals who enjoy swimming and marine leisure activities should be sure to check the official website of Cape Maeda for sea conditions.

A stroll along the promenade while gazing at the sparkling ocean is also recommended.

Parking, showers and restrooms are also available.

 

Beach 51

Beach 51, located near the Blue Cave, offers a spectacular view that rivals that of the ocean on the remote islands. Walking through the bushes, you will reach the edge of the cliff. The blue ocean that appears ahead is crystal clear and coral can be clearly seen, making the view breathtaking. When you go down to the bottom of the cliff, you will find a white sandy beach, and you can even go into the sea.

The west coast, where Onna Village is located, is fed by the Kuroshio Current, which makes the sea crystal clear, and is also a spawning ground for sea turtles. The view from Beach 51 is so beautiful that once you see it, you will never forget it, and you will want to visit again and again. The sea seen through the rocks with donut-like holes is as beautiful as a painting.
