Okinawa weather on 15th June 2025

☀️ Haisai! I’m CULT.
Today is the day I returned to Okinawa after my vacation. I thought I would have plenty of time since my flight was at 8 AM, but… the flight to Okinawa was almost fully booked. Wow… even on a Sunday morning, so many people are visiting Okinawa. I’ll do my best to provide you with more travel information about Okinawa.
Anyway, today’s weather in Okinawa was very clear with a high of 32°C and a low of 27°C.

From Naha Airport to Miebashi

After clearing immigration and stepping out of the airport to catch the monorail, the first thing I noticed was… wow, the air is definitely much hotter than in Busan. In Busan, it’s the rainy season, so it’s been raining with grey skies, but in Okinawa, the hot air and blue sky welcomed me. I really love the blue sky.

I’m on my way home on the monorail. The inside of the monorail was crowded with tourists. Despite that, I was busy taking pictures of the beautiful sky to share the weather in Okinawa with you.

On my way home from Miebashi, I took a picture of the river. I like taking pictures of rivers like this. Somehow… it feels a bit more like Japan this way. Okinawa is Okinawa, and Japan is Japan. I perceive them as somewhat different entities.

This is the view of Miebashi I took after arriving home. The weather today is truly a work of art.

Since I hadn’t eaten anything since 5 PM yesterday, I was very hungry and went to a convenience store to buy something. The weather is so beautiful that I keep taking pictures.

She looks like a foreign worker, and I think it must be quite hot to dress like that.
There are two scenarios here. Either she’s enduring the heat to prevent sunburn, or she’s someone who doesn’t get hot easily. If you’re worried about UV rays, it’s a good idea to bring thin, long clothing.
Sunscreen on the face is essential.

This is Paldo Bibim Noodles I brought from Korea, intending to eat later. It’s a bit hot, so I decided to eat it now. It’s not spicy at all for Koreans, but for Japanese and Europeans, it’s quite spicy. I’m mentioning this because this post is read by people from all over the world 🌏

I forgot to bring a scrubbing towel (shower towel) from Korea, so I came to Daiso to buy one. Meanwhile, I saw a security guard wearing a vest with a fan attached to it, which cools the inside of the clothing. I think wearing something like that in summer is quite a good idea.
In Okinawa, these are quite common. I even saw them at construction sites.

After finishing my shopping, I’m going for a bike ride.
The bibim noodles I ate earlier are quite high in calories, so I need some exercise. It’s also a great opportunity to show you various aspects of Okinawa.

This is Okinawa as seen from Tomari Port.
It somehow resembles the view from Lisbon, Portugal, in Europe. If you put orange tiles on the roofs, it might give a slightly European feel.

Naminoue and Kokusai Street

There are many people swimming at Naminoue Beach today. Some are doing somersaults, and there are babies just dipping their feet, giving it the feel of an ordinary summer day at the beach. In this kind of heat, enjoying a swim is a very good choice.

This is the view of Naminoue Beach from the bridge. There are parasols, and lifeguards are monitoring the safety of those enjoying the beach in real-time.

It would be a shame to leave without taking a picture of the cliff at Naminoue Shrine, so I took one.

I visit Naminoue Shrine quite often, so some of the staff there now recognize me. Naminoue Shrine is dedicated to water activities and traffic safety, so it’s worth a brief visit. You can check it out on [Google Maps]. More detailed information can be found in this [Naminoue Shrine – Post].

This is what Fukushu-en looks like from the outside. It’s a good idea to visit Fukushu-en together with Naminoue Shrine. You can spend about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours in Naha, so consider adding it to your travel itinerary.

Information about Fukushu-en can be found in this [Fukushu-en – Post].

Next is Kokusai Street.
Every Sunday from noon to 6 PM, it’s a car-free street, giving it a free and open feel. Even if you take photos with your smartphone, they turn out quite nicely, so if your schedule allows, it’s worth visiting at this time.

The last photo was taken at the entrance of Makishi Public Market, the heart of Kokusai Street. There seem to be many Western tourists today. Everyone’s attire is very cool, giving off a strong summer vibe. I heard that Korea has entered the rainy season, but the rainy season in Okinawa ended last week.
It might be a bit hot, but with beaches and plenty of air-conditioned facilities, there’s nothing much to worry about. In Okinawa, you don’t usually walk much outdoors.

That’s it for today! I’ll be back with more Okinawa weather updates tomorrow. Matayasai 👋
