Today at work I found out that I won a 7 day trip to Okinawa.
Only problem is that I didn't notice/nobody told me/E-mail got lost and the trip starts tomorrow  So could someone recommend places to go, things to do? I'm a 25 year old male. Will take a lady friend along but screwing like rabbits is out of the question, unfortunately

How did you win a trip to Okinawa of all places? I'd love to go there, my father was wounded there. |

I won it at last Christmas's company lottery.
The winning numbers were geared to the national lottery that were announced about 2 weeks later, so it slipped my mind. I think that they chose Okinawa because it is off season and cheap. Can't complain too much though, a week of paid holiday is a great thing

If it is still there, the Ozeki steak house on Miromi Street. That would be between BC and Gate 2 streets. We used to like snorkeling off of Mydia point. I am not sure about the spelling of the latter. Of course that was 34 years ago. Have a nice trip. John

I lived there for 5 years.....
Shuri Castle is pretty cool. Go check out the other castle ruins on the island, some really cool views of the cliffs and ocean. Sunabe Seawall (watch the currents if you go snorkeling) Onna Beach, is incredible for snorkeling, diving and just chilling out. Shopping on Kokusai Dori in Naha. Eat at the local steak houses, Kobe steak is awesome and fairly cheap there. I would love to go back to Oki I actually miss the islands. |

Thanks for all the replies
 Now I can prove to my GF that "the nut case site that I spend too much time on" isn't a total waste of time I'm leaving in about 2 hours but I will be checking in every so often. Also I will post pictures when I come back if I take any good ones. |

Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbeque. There's a famous sushi house on the hill behind the Camp Lester Naval Hospital. Torii Beach.

Also an awesome place to eat. There is another place that comes to mind, about 4 blocks down from coco's off of Foster, where they serve ton ton noodles (or whatever they are called). also a great place to eat. |

+1 If you had a month to wait, he would even make you one. His sushi is lousy though. I actually met Sonny Chiba when I was stationed on Okianwa, and got him to sign my Kill Bill posters

All I know is B.C. street and Whisper alley by Kadena AFB. I wouldn't take a lady there though.

join the USMC and you'll likely spend a year there. Or at least stop there on your way to iraq. I pretty much hated it there. No good mexican food. Too much alcohol. Too many whores and not enough American/european women. Thailand on the other hand is great. |

Astro burger tacos FTW!!!  I had an apartment in town when I was there so I had a good timeand had a lot of local friends. If you are American, you won't be allowed in certain places unless you have Okinawan friends. |

Hello...I was on Hansen for a year and a half. If you are bringing a lady friend, go to Kokosai Street in Naha for some shopping. There are also a lot of good restaurants down there on Kokosai Street. Have fun!

Japanese Naval Underground Headquarters is quite cool. So is Peace Memorial Park, where you can see lots and lots of JAPANESE SCHOOLGIRLS.
