8.8 ~ 8.11 four-day tour, this time is to take the Singer Dasa Lena to Okinawa, Miyako Island. The cruise company has a shuttle bus when you get off the ship. When you receive the chartered car parking place, there is a useful line before you go. You can contact the staff of the chartered car company. The driver will also hold the name card of the order to find the car😊. The time to get off the ship is 11:30 when you get on the chartered car , The timing was very good, just at the beginning of the five-hour chartered car tour, the Japanese driver is really kind, the car is also very clean and tidy, and the communication in Japanese and English is completely ok with a little translation. Two mothers plus a child who is five years old and one who is almost five years old little kid. A chartered car is really the most convenient choice for a cruise on Miyako Island. Although the tour bought on board is cheaper, you can disembark early, but you will also board early and visit two scenic spots. The price difference between the chartered car and the tour is more than 1,000, but the relative freedom and time control are more flexible. The first stop is to visit the Miyako Shrine and buy a cute omamori. After passing through the Ikema Bridge, the second stop is to eat ice cream at the Snow Salt Factory Buy famous products, maybe because the typhoon has just left, the temperature is not very hot, the driver is very nice, and he specially called Haimei to make a reservation for us. There was originally a reservation for this point, but I was afraid that the business would be too good so I ruled it out, considerate driver Booked it for us so it was a pleasure to have delicious soba noodles for lunch! 😊, unfortunately, the food intake is too small, the four of us only ate two bowls of soba noodles😆, the food is very delicious, the fried sweet potatoes in the store are must-eat, the taste is chewy and not too sweet, it is also a famous product of Miyako Island. oh! After lunch, the third stop is to Ryugu Castle Observation Deck, overlooking the magnificence of the Irabu Bridge and the healing Miyako Indigo. The fourth stop is to take pictures with Hamanaha Beach. The soft and dense white sand is like flour. The light blue ocean is very soothing and the sandy texture is not sticky to the feet, just shake it and it will fall off! At the last stop, the driver took us to donki to buy candy and cosmeceuticals. We didn’t find any donki at first, so we rushed as soon as we got off the bus! 🤣Thank you very much to the driver for leading the way, helping us to take pictures along the way, accompanying us to the best viewpoint, and always apologizing for not seeing the most beautiful Miyako Island because of the typhoon, but the kindness, courtesy and human touch of the driver is already this The most beautiful scenery of the trip! People with children and elders are really very suitable for chartered cars. The cruise ship has a relatively short port time, and chartered cars can move quickly and you can control the time yourself. It is really the best choice for visiting Miyako Island! I hope the driver will be very happy to receive the Taiwan souvenir I brought, and I look forward to visiting Miyako Island next time. 🥰
