Airport flights to Okinawa vary widely in price depending on the time of year. Especially during the Golden Week vacations in April and May and the summer vacation period in July and August, fares for hotels and rental cars other than flights are also higher.

Narita airport to okinawa ferry

As mentioned above, the basic method of travel from Narita Airport to Okinawa is by air, but there is also a method of travel by ferry to Okinawa.

If you take the ferry, you must go from the port of Kagoshima. From Narita Airport to Kagoshima, you can take a plane, train, or bus. Also, the time required is a full day from the time you board the ferry to Okinawa. If you include the travel time to Kagoshima, it will take more than one full day.

Considering the time and effort required from Narita Airport to Kagoshima and from Kagoshima to Okinawa, it is better to fly directly from Narita Airport to Okinawa.

If you are going to Okinawa by ferry, it is for those who want to stay in Japan for a long time and enjoy the boat trip slowly. If your stay in Japan is short, it is not recommended because the whole day will end on the boat.

What airport do you fly into for Okinawa?

Domestic flights to Okinawa are available not only from Haneda and Narita Airports, but also from Kansai International Airport, Chubu International Airport, and Fukuoka Airport. Although there are fewer flights, depending on the time of year, flights are also available from New Chitose Airport and other airports.

Direct flights to Okinawa are also available from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore.

Many Japanese choose Okinawa as a domestic travel destination, so there are flights to Okinawa from many airports. However, since Okinawa is a popular tourist destination, airline tickets must be booked early or seats may be sold out.

Does the bullet train go to Narita Airport?

Is there a bullet train service from Narita Airport? To summarize briefly, there is no Shinkansen service from Narita Airport. More specifically, there is no train service from Narita Airport or from the main island of Japan to Okinawa.

Okinawa is an island and cannot be reached by train or bus from the main island of Japan. So, inevitably, if you are heading there from within Japan, you will have to fly.

There is no bullet train service from Narita, but there is the Narita Express. It provides direct access to major stations in Tokyo such as Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, and Shinjuku stations.
