What to bring on your trip to Okinawa
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We recommend a water-proof type with SPF50 and PA++++. Ultraviolet rays in Okinawa are about 1.5 times stronger than those in Honshu, and sweat and water easily remove it at the ocean or beach, so it is recommended to bring a mist or spray type for reapplication. Also, choose a reef-safe type that takes coral and the marine ecosystem into consideration so that it is environmentally friendly.
The average temperature in Okinawa from December to February is about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is similar to the early spring in Tokyo. A light jacket, sweater, or fleece is best for this season, and a layered style that is easy to put on and take off is most useful. A windbreaker is also useful on days with strong northerly winds, as the temperature drops.
Sunscreen, insect repellent, and regular medicine for children should be prepared separately from those for adults. Adult sunscreen may not be suitable for children's skin, so be sure to choose sunscreen designed for children. It is also a good idea to bring a copy of your health insurance card and mother-child handbook in case of sudden changes in health condition.
