Okinawa Jiyu Jikan

Okinawa × Cycling

A journey to discover
Churaumi’s beautiful seas and Ryukyu history.
Hop on a bike and enjoy
your own "Okinawa Jiyu Jikan."

Okinawa enjoys a warm climate year-round,
with average temperatures hovering around 20°C
even in the depths of winter.
Loved as a "sports paradise,"
it offers a huge range of activities
to enjoy in every season.

In the north,
the untouched wilderness of Yanbaru.
In the central area,
west-coast beaches and the exhilarating Kaichu Road causeway.
In the south,
the living heritage of Ryukyu culture.

A tropical paradise
just a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Tokyo.
Let's set off on two wheels
for the ultimate "free time."
