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.
Onna Village in summer is a great place to be active and refresh your body and mind.

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.
Please feel the great outdoors and refresh your body and soul.
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.
