With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Okinawa, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Koza Music Town, Okinawa Zoo & Museum and Okinawa Comprehensive Athletic Park. Locals will also probably point you toward Kadena Marina Beach, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s American Village. (But we’d also recommend Sunset Beach and Aeon Mall Rycom.)
