It was such a relief for both of us when we managed to pass through the check at the airport without any problems. Lol<\/p>\n<p>After getting ready we made it downstairs for breakfast where I was able to enjoy my last day of traditional Okinawan food. I really like how this Toyoko Inn served local foods like <em>jushi<\/em>, <em>sanpin<\/em> tea and <em>shikuasa<\/em> juice, which is a native Okinawan citrus fruit. I could probably eat it everyday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/breakfast.jpg\" alt=\"Toyoko Inn Naha breakfast\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/breakfast.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/breakfast-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/breakfast-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There wasn\u2019t a lot we could do before our flight, so Carmen and I decided to kill time at the mall across the street. We spent about an hour browsing inside the department store at <em>Palette<\/em>. Right before we left, we stopped by <em>Blue Seal<\/em>, which is a famous ice cream shop in Okinawa. I ended up getting their <em>Okinawa Ta-imo Cheesecake<\/em> flavour ice cream. Right after we paid and left the shop, our ice cream started to melt at an alarming speed while out in the heat. It was a rush against time to finish it before it turned into a big puddle. =P<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal02-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Seal\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal02-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal02.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal01-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Seal\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal01-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/blue-seal01.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once we grabbed our luggage, Carmen and I headed to the airport. Her flight was an hour earlier than mine, so we said our goodbyes when we got there. I had a bit of time to explore the main terminal, so I headed over to their observation deck and paid the 100 yen admission to enter. I spent a few minutes inside watching the planes takeoff from the tarmac. <\/p>\n<p>Afterwards I took a shuttle over to the LCC terminal. There\u2019s not much inside the terminal except for a souvenir shop and a coffee stall. Since I hadn\u2019t had lunch yet, I went through security early and ended up getting a bowl of Okinawa soba at the only restaurant inside. After I finished eating, I waited another 30 minutes before finally boarding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/airport-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Naha\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/airport-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/airport-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/airport.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/okinawa-soba-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Okinawa Soba\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/okinawa-soba-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/okinawa-soba-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/okinawa-soba.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Again it was another long trip back home. After landing at KIX, I took the train back to Osaka Station. I had about three hours to kill before my bus back to Nagoya. I had purposely bought tickets for a later bus back in case my flight was delayed. I spent the extra time window shopping and grabbing dinner at a curry restaurant called <em>Camp<\/em> before finally heading over to the bus terminal. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/camp.jpg\" alt=\"Camp\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/camp.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/camp-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/camp-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall this trip was a little spontaneous, but I\u2019m grateful that I got a chance to visit Okinawa during my time in Japan. I\u2019m also happy I had a good travel buddy who had no complaints with my jammed-pack itinerary. Thank you for putting up with all those incredibly long treks! Hehe.
