University of the Ryukyus is a community hub as well as a place of higher learning. Allow your mind to wander back to those school days as you check out the campus.

University of the Ryukyus is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Nishihara. This modern university is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Kokusai Dori, American Village, and DFS Galleria Okinawa to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

8.6/10 Excellent! (739 reviews)

We booked this hotel as a quick one night stay before taking the ferry north. The hotel itself had lovely amenities like the onsen. It was clean, peaceful and relaxing. There was one pool we could use, but the rooftop pool cost $45 for each adult and $20 for each kid. So for a family of 4 quite expensive (and not advertised as an extra fee during the booking process). Our room was also quite small. The area around the hotel was shady for a family. We zipped out to eat dinner but my husband walked to the family mart a few blocks away and said it definitely had red light district vibes). The staff was lovely and helpful.
