What to expect
Nago
30m
Travel by private vehicle from your hotel to Nakijin Castle Ruins at 9:00 AM.
Nakijin Castle Ruins
1h · Admission ticket included
Before there was a unified Ryukyu Kingdom, northern Okinawa had its own center of power. Nakijin Castle was the stronghold of Hokuzan, one of three rival kingdoms that competed for control of Okinawa before unification.
Walk among its impressive stone walls with your guide, then begin the day’s E-bike ride through the same northern landscape once watched over from this fortress.
Kouri Ohashi
1h 20m
This is the journey’s signature E-bike ride. Cycle approximately 15 km from the Nakijin area toward Kouri Island, with a short scenic and refreshment stop along the way where you can look ahead toward your destination. The ride culminates in crossing the roughly 2-km Kouri Bridge surrounded by open sea views—an experience that feels very different from simply passing over the bridge inside a vehicle.
Distance: approximately 15 km
1h
Arrive on Kouri Island and take time to refuel after the morning ride. Enjoy lunch at Kouri Island Station Sorahashi and choose what you would like to eat.
The break also marks a transition in the day: from experiencing Okinawa’s beautiful sea to thinking about what it takes to protect that environment for the future.
2h · Admission ticket included
Marine Plastic Upcycling Workshop
After seeing Okinawa’s blue sea from the saddle, discover another side of its marine story. At TRUE BLUE OKINAWA, learn how marine plastic collected from Okinawa’s shores is transformed into something new. Create your own keepsake—such as a keychain or accessory—while considering how everyday choices connect to the future of the ocean you have been exploring throughout the journey.
1h · Admission ticket included
End the cultural journey with a tradition that is still performed and passed down today.
