Sharks like to bite you. Bit, bit. 🦈 In Okinawa, Japan.

How to get there - That year we went to Okinawa with Peach airline, flying directly from Suvarnabhumi to Okinawa. It took about 4 and a half hours. Now I'm not sure if this airline has returned to fly this route. If you do, book now because the price is reasonable. It doesn't take long compared to other regions in Japan. Tourist attractions - Okinawa is a small city in the south of Japan. My friends in the trip told me that it's probably next to Hong Kong. Traveling is quite convenient because it's a small city, so it's very easy to travel. But this small city has something big hidden inside, which is whale sharks. In all aquariums in Japan, there are only 2 places with whale sharks, which are Osaka and Okinawa. When we arrived, we went to find them. They're at an aquarium called Surauumi Okinawa. Once inside, there are a lot of aquatic animals. You can walk around and enjoy it. When we got there, we heard the noisy people and realized that the highlight in front of us was a big hit. The whale sharks were really big. I was excited and happy to see them. The pictures you get show the whale sharks all over, but you can only see your shadow because the aquarium strictly prohibits flash photography because it might affect the animals in the tank. Glad to get a photo of both of them together. But we didn't get back long before the Orawareum announced that one whale shark had died. So sad. For those who are going to Okinawa this year, you will see one shark. Please say hello to the whale shark. Hotel - We stayed at Novotel Okinawa. The room was very good, very clean, and most importantly, the room was very spacious. Anyone who has Japanese experience will know that most hotel rooms are small and don't have much space. But I guarantee that anyone who stays here will definitely like it. If anyone comes to Okinawa, I recommend this place. It's also very close to shopping areas. You can call a taxi from the hotel. Shopping - Kokusai Dori Street is everything you want. There's food, souvenirs, and Don Quijote is open 24 hours. We walked until we almost had no money left in our wallets. We wanted everything. We spent all our money here. But the last place that we probably missed out on is Ashibina Outlet. There are many brands to choose from. We shopped until we were tired. Anyone who comes to Okinawa can come and shop here. Anyway, I still love Japan every time I come to Okinawa. The people are lovely in the Japanese style that we have experienced. Everyone here welcomes Thai people very much. Some shops have Thai language. Some staffs can speak Thai. Love Okinawa. #TravelAbroad #TravelJapan #SleepChillAtBeautifulAccommodation #Japan #TravelOkinawa #Okinawa
