Wakasa Lunchbox
To travel to the islands off the west coast of Okinawa, you’ll need to take a ferry. Spending anywhere from 40 minutes to 3 hours just gazing at the sea might get a bit dull. So, head over to Wakasa Lunchbox Shop near the harbour, grab a lunchbox, and enjoy it on the ferry—it’s the perfect start to your journey.
