Great way to get around. They accept IC card pasmo which is great. But don’t assume pasmo IC card can be used for bus. It’s can’t! Only Okica IC card and cash.
A nice monument at Naha Airport Station!
A monument located at Naha Airport Station!
It's a spot you can find before boarding the Yui Rail, and it really gives you that "I've arrived in Okinawa!" feeling. It's also recommended for commemorative photos when starting your Okinawa sightseeing from Naha Airport!
It’s a great little spot to stop by before getting on the Yui Rail and really gives you that “I’ve arrived in Okinawa!” feeling. It’s also a perfect place to take a quick photo at the start of your trip.
Definitely worth a photo before heading off to explore Okinawa!
A monument marking Japan's westernmost station. It's easily visible, located near the monorail station's ticket gates.
Whatever it is, being the "extreme" or "finest" of something is always a good thing.
Revisited December 2025
This is the monument marking "Japan's westernmost station."
It's very easy to find, right next to the ticket gate at Naha Station on the Yui Rail.
It would be exciting if there were some kind of certificate of achievement or commemorative ticket, but there didn't seem to be anything like that.
Incidentally, besides Naha Station on the Yui Rail, other stations claiming to be "Japan's westernmost station" include Tabira-Hiradoguchi Station in Nagasaki Prefecture and JR Sasebo Station.
Tabira-Hiradoguchi Station also offers commemorative certificates.
One station away, at Akamine Station, there is a monument marking "Japan's southernmost station," so you might want to visit both together.
A new Ekitag spot has been created.
