Tropical Cycling Tour
The islands of Okinawa, located in southern Japan, enjoy year-round warm weather and pleasant southern breezes. The region’s few hills along with its ideal climate make it a fabulous place to explore by bicycle. Naha, the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture, is a particularly great place to visit thanks to its vibrant markets and shopping arcades that reflect the Okinawan lifestyle, as well as its picture-perfect white sandy beaches.
* As a general rule, you should ride your bicycle on the streets; however, elementary schools advise that if you think a particular street is unsafe for bicycles, you should then use sidewalks but be careful of pedestrians.
