Is it possible to have an epic road trip in Okinawa, Japan with only 8 hours of cruise port time? We put it to the test! In this video, we show you our step-by-step DIY shore excursion from the Naha cruise port. We docked in Naha on our Diamond Princess cruise and instead of taking a pricey tour, we rented a car to explore the best of Okinawa on our own schedule. We'll show you the entire process, from picking up the rental car near the port to navigating Okinawa's toll roads and getting to the world-famous Churaumi Aquarium. Plus, we find some of the best traditional Okinawan food you can't miss! If you're cruising to Okinawa on your Japan cruise, you’ll need to check out our report!
