3. Travel information

3.1 Flight information

It is not always a good idea to go to Okinawa via other Japanese airports. Flights from Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul or Shanghai to Okinawa might be more convenient for you. Even when you first arrive at Narita or Osaka Kansai International (KIX) airports, you might want to take a limousine bus for Haneda or Osaka Itami airports and then go to Okinawa rather than going directly to Okinawa. Among the web sites for finding flights, Forecast (http://farecast.live.com/) or OneTravel (http://www.onetravel.com/) appear to take advantage of these possibilities.

Note: Some possibities are summarized in http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eb2m-mrt/TripToOkinawa.htm.

3.2 Limousine bus between Narita and Haneda

Limousine Bus about 75min(\3,000). For more information:
