沖縄、那覇の独り旅。1日目は国際通りで飲んだ。- Traveling Alone in Naha, Okinawa. I Drank at Kokusai Street in The 1st Date.
Jetstarで予約した沖縄、Sakiちゃんと一緒に行くつもりが急に仕事が入ってしまったとの事・・・。1人で行ってきてもいいよと言われました。初めての一人旅。那覇で観光と飲み歩いたんですけど、中々楽しめました。
I booked a trip to Okinawa, Japan. My wife and I were planning to travel together, but she lost her holidays to work suddenly before traveling. She said to me that you can travel there alone. It is the first time that I travel alone. I ended up going sightseeing and drinking until midnight. I was totally enjoying there.
～1日目～ the 1st date
- 沖縄、那覇の独り旅。1日目は国際通りで飲んだ。- Traveling Alone in Naha, Okinawa. I Drank at Kokusai Street in The 1st Date.
- 那覇空港に到着！ I Just Arrived at Naha Airport!
- 首里城に到着！ I Had Arrived at Shuri Castle!
- 那覇国際通りでの飲み放題タイム - the Time Has come to Drink Alcohol on "Kokusai-Dohri" street!
- 国際通りのホテルで就寝・・・ - I Slept at the Hotel Along the "Kokusai-Dori" Street
準備を整えて、荷物の大きさと重量測ってオーバーが心配だなぁと思いつつ関西空港へ向かいました。
そういえばJetstarは初めてかも？関西空港第1ターミナルから乗れるのはとても便利だった。第1ターミナルだからか、JALとのコードシェアだからか、うるさいかと思ってた荷物検査がほぼスルーだった。一応規定内のはずだけど、安心。
I prepared to travel the day before. That day, I worried that my luggage's weight and measure might be over the regulation while I went to KIX airport.
By the way, this is the first experience for me to ride Jetstar airline. I could ride at Terminal 1 was pretty convenience. Is it because of Terminal 1 or code sharing with JAL airline, luggage inspection was almost no check. Anyway, I thought luggage was within the regulation. But I was relieved.
那覇空港に到着！ I Just Arrived at Naha Airport!
ついたら、ポークたまごおにぎり本店で、ポークたまごおにぎり普通味と梅味を食べた。断然梅味。これは本当においしい。食いすぎてしまう…。
I visited "Headstore of rice ball in egg and pork" after I arrived at Naha airport immediately. And I orderd two kinds taste that were both of plain and salted plum. Definitely I want to choose a salted plum taste than others. That's really delicious. Then I over ate it...
そっからレンタカー借りて、首里城へ。
独り旅だからレンタカーはいらないかな、と思ったけど、沖縄は絶対借りた方がいいですね。沖縄大好きなSakiちゃんの強い推しに負けて予約したけど本当に借りてよかった。
Following it, I rented a car and went to "Shuri castle".
Before this traveling, I thought I won't need a car. But It was wrong in Okinawa.
My wife Saki who loves Okinawa recommended me strongly to rent a car.
It was the best option for me to rent a car.
首里城に到着！ I Had Arrived at Shuri Castle!
琉球王朝の王城で、沖縄県内最大規模の城で世界遺産にも登録されています。中国の城の影響を大きく受けているらしく、建築物は漆で朱塗りされているものが多いです。
The area of Okinawa was called "Ryu-kyu" in the past. Here is Ryu-kyu dynasty and one of the biggest castle in Okinawa. "Shuri castle" is registerd in the world heritage. It seems that It is inspired from Chinese castles and most of its appearance are painted vermilion color by japanese laquar "Urushi".
シーサーくんは本当にどこにでもいるねぇ。
Siesar is a gardian god in Okinawa. They really exsist innumerably there. 
本殿は漆の塗り替えだったので残念…。でも日本の城では見られない独特の朱色が素敵ですね！本殿の他にも広福門、守礼門も有名ですね。
I was depressed down because main castle was just under constructon. But unique vermilion color was very beautiful! Besides main castle, here is known for "Kofuku Mon" gate and "Shurei Mon" gate.
310円で入れる書院・鎖之間はとてもオススメ出来ます。お菓子とお茶も出てきて沖縄の歴史を知ることができます。
I want to recommend you "Sho-in Sanoma" that is writing alcove. You can enter there if you pay 310 yen. Its cost is included some sweets and tea. And you will be able to learn Okinawa's history there.
意外と時間が無くてニライカナイ橋に行って、知念岬に行った。ニライカナイ橋は、さっと、終わる感じで、車を停められるところが見当たらなかったので、写真は断念しました。景色はいいですので、別のサイトさんの記事を置いておきます。
Unexpectedly I didn't have enough time I rapidly went to "Nirai-Kanai-Bashi" bridge. Then I went to "Chinen-Misaki" moth. I gave up to take picures at "Nirai-Kanai" because there were no parking space. Actually scene of there is good and I recommend.
知念岬はとても良かった。写真の通り、あまり良くない天気が逆に神秘的な雰囲気を出していました。見晴らしも良くとても開放的な気分になります。
"Chinen-Misaki" moth was very beautiful and spectacle. That day was little bad. But I thought it was better than sunny day. I could take a mysterious picture. Overlooking is amazing and we can be became open-minded here.
人馴れした猫もいました。沖縄は、猫が多い。
The cat was familiar with human. There is so many cats in Okinawa.
那覇国際通りでの飲み放題タイム - the Time Has come to Drink Alcohol on "Kokusai-Dohri" street!
ホテルにチェックインしてからは、すぐ国際通りに出て、やっぱりステーキってとこで1000円のステーキを食べた。結局代え肉もして、会計は2,750円。
After I checked in the hotel along "Kokusai-Dohri", I immediatly went out, visited "Yappari Stake" and ate stake that price is only 1,000 yen. But I ended up to order additional meat and to drink "Orion beer" that is local beer. Accounting was 2,750 yen.
別に沖縄産の牛肉を出しているわけでもなさそうだけど、なんで沖縄ってステーキが有名なんだろう？やっぱり米軍基地があるからなのかな。とにかくこの価格でうまいステーキが食べられるのは満足！ただ、カップルにはおすすめしませんよ。
Why does Okinawa known for stakes? Maybe most of stake houses don't use gotten locally beef. After all there is American military base, isn't it? Anyway, I was satisfied with I could eat nice stakes at an affordable pricde. But I can't recommend for couples because this stake house didn't have cleanliness very much. lol
沖縄で人気のA1ソース。
It is Okinawa's stake sauce "A1".
ゴールドダストというバーに入って泡盛トニックを飲みました。大人な雰囲気で20代後半から30代後半までおすすめできます。この店、周辺の雰囲気に比べて浮いてオシャレでした。外から中が見えませんが、シックなバーで一人でも全然大丈夫でした。安心して入ってください。
I visited Bar "Gold Dust" and drank an "Awamori tonic". ”Awamorii" is Okinawa's popular alcohol beverage like a "Sho-chu". "Sho-chu" is made from japanese rice and aspergillus kawachii, on the other hand, "Awamorii" is made from thai rice and aspergillus niger. This bar's atmosphere is for adult and different from other bars around here. You can't see inside from outside, but here was very cool bar. Please enter with confidence.
国際通りのホテルで就寝・・・ - I Slept at the Hotel Along the "Kokusai-Dori" Street
男1人だったので、国際通りのカプセルを除いた一番安いホテルにしました。それが、アベストCUBE那覇国際通りでした。狭いけど安くて綺麗でした。国際通りに1人または男だけで泊まるなら全然良いと思いますよ！
I selected the cheapest hotel except capsule type hotels because this trip had only me. The hotel is "Abest Cube Naha Kokusai Street". The room was narrow but it was affordable price and clean. If you are male and come to "Kokusai-Dori" alone, this hotel is pretty good.
Sakiちゃんには申し訳ないけど、独り旅も悪くないなと思ってしまった夜でした。Σ(ﾟдﾟ；)
2日目はこちら。
I thought at the night that I'm sorry to my wife Saki, but traveling alone is not bad. The 2nd day is here below.
